Our journey starts here.

Over the past few months, we’ve quietly been building The Wolf of Woolbright. Ten conversations are already recorded with people from across South Florida...spanning real estate, mortgage, staffing, healthcare, fitness and exercise science, hospitality, restaurants and local business. Different backgrounds, different journeys, but all with something interesting to say about the place we call home.

The idea is simple. We want honest conversations with real people about what they’re building, what they’ve learned, the opportunities they see, the challenges they’ve faced, and what makes South Florida such an interesting place to live and work. No highlight reels. No motivational speeches. Just good conversations, interesting people and hopefully a better understanding of the community around us.

Ten episodes. Ten different perspectives. And we’re just getting started.

Welcome along and thank you for your support! :) by @deanjamesmax

What does a life spent between the farm and the sea teach you about food?

For Chef Dean James Max, it begins with fresh tomatoes, steamed blue crabs, corn, Old Bay and the people gathered around the table.

In the newest episode of NomNom, @deanjamesmax joins Dr. Elika Dadsetan-Foley to share how childhood days spent farming, fishing, and cooking shaped his lifelong respect for ingredients.

From the memories behind his signature BLT clams to the importance of creating restaurants where people feel comfortable and cared for, Dean reminds us that great food is never only about what is on the plate. It is about place, connection, and the experience we share.

Watch or listen now. Link in bio.
