PEDROM REJAI PT2: ELEVATE GROWTH PARTNERS / AI WON'T REPLACE YOU (YET) / CHICAGO VS MEXICO CITY
In Part 2 of my conversation with Pedrom Rejai, we pick up right at his pivotal decision to leave a secure corporate career to launch Elevate Growth Partners. We discuss the "midlife crisis" that led him to Mexico City and the corporate habits he had to unlearn to become a founder.
We dive deep into the tech side of food, covering why spreadsheets are liability traps , how AI is revolutionizing supply chains , and why you should be using tools like "Nano Banana" right now. Pedrom also shares his bold predictions for 2026—from protein sweeteners to the looming chocolate shortage—and we wrap up with a debate on Chicago vs. Mexico City food culture (and why deep dish has too much cheese).
