Batter Up: The Rise of Breadin' Bros and its Local 16 Year Old CEO!

In this episode, Adam reunites with a very special guest: Aiden Ponti, the 16-year-old founder of Breadin Bros, a Central Coast culinary brand built from scratch... literally. Two years after their first conversation at the Mid-State Fair, Aiden returns to talk about how his fried chicken obsession turned into a fast-growing business, now in local stores.



We talk product innovation, personal growth, and the wild story behind launching his very own Breadin Bros Racing team in the 24 Hours of Lemons. From meatballs to marketing, boosters to burnout, this is one of those rare interviews that reminds you: entrepreneurship isn’t about age, it’s about energy, intention, and hustle.
