Key Idea: Be Bold. Stay clean. Give, give, and give some more.
Katz's Deli & Bar, Austin, Texas: A deli in Austin in 1979, now that's a concept! Meet the man who believes corned beef is a food group of its own and whose mission has brought more than great eating to the music scene on 6th Street at Rio Grande.

Key Question:
A: Of course, some people think it means to take a hike. Here it means to take the leap of faith. It is the leap into the unknown. It is the courage to start. It is the tenacity to endure the pain. And, it is the hope of a new day.
Therefore, the sense of the expression is not at all like it is used in the common vernacular. In fact, it is the antithesis. When people are told to go take a flying leap, it is not very polite. It generally means to "get out of my face."
Here it means to take a risk, have courage, have tenacity, be bold, and go after your dreams. In all our dreams we can fly.
This show is about taking your dreams and making them a reality.
Key Question:
A: Yes. It is a fact of life, especially if you are in a space shuttle coming from the International Space Station! So much of flying is controlled falling. But in this metaphor, your abilities, your network, your capital, and your team are your rocket boosters that make it possible to take off. But the most important quality to fly and not fall is your personal courage.
You have to trust yourself and go for it!
Your personal jet engine is your talent, your insight, your ethics, your integrity, and your zest for life. With those held together (and granted we all fall sometimes), flight becomes possible.
You can fly and then be controlled within your path to the various landings every business must go through to get to the next level.
Even the most successful people, including Buffet and Gates, struggle with the meaning and value of life. Even saintly person struggle every day to know and do the right thing.
Marc Katz knows what it means to be flying and falling at the same time.
It keeps one humble.
It is the antithesis of the Donald Trump phenomena. He has fallen so far, he thinks falling is flying!
Think about it
Known around town as the unofficial Mayor of Austin, fifth generation kosher butcher Marc Katz, brought his family recipes from New York City and says his deli in Austin serves the best sandwich west of the Hudson River.
Marc tells us that he copies the best practices of the companies he admires and this led him to the insight, "You only get to keep what you give away."
Learn how this one-man-marketing band rings up millions in revenues from one location that brims with excitement. Hint: He's declared that fat is back and added a milkshake to his menu that he calls "a heart attack in a glass." To challenge the bold, he warns, "You should not operate a vehicle under the influence of this milkshake."
