Ep. 32: Derrick "Moe" Moore: How One Slim and Two Husky Longtime Friends Created an Iconoclastic Pizza Empire!

"I knew that if I had a Plan B, I would be 50/50. I would be one foot in and one foot out, and I had to be fully dedicated." - Derrick 'Moe' Moore

When the Climbing the Charts podcast first launched in 2022, the co-hosts created a list of dream guests – Moe Moore was at the top of that list, being a co-founder of Slim & Husky's.  Almost two years and many amazing guests later, this is that episode, and it was fitting that the Tennessean was even on hand to take some photos!

Moe is the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of Slim & Husky's, a pizza concept that is more than pizza – it's pizza, art, and music.  Moe shares how music and art are built into the DNA of Slim & Husky's, and shares his hard-earned life lessons about what it takes to make it as a successful entrepreneur (including the often unappreciated advantages of having no Plan B).  He discusses the future plans and dreams for Slim & Husky's, and even gives an overview of the rich culture and community of North Nashville.  

 


Climbing the Charts with Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller is a conversation about the forces that shape our daily lives, from local policy to global scientific discovery. Angie and Brandon aren't just observers; they're active participants who believe understanding these complex systems is the first step toward genuine involvement. This podcast digs into the news and social currents that might feel abstract, making them tangible and relevant to your own neighborhood. You'll hear discussions that connect political decisions with their real-world impact, explore how scientific advancements alter our social fabric, and question what it means to build a meaningful community in a fragmented world. Each episode is an invitation to look closer and think deeper, offering perspectives that help you navigate the information landscape with more clarity and purpose. Tune in for a thoughtful analysis that refuses to separate science from politics, or social trends from personal responsibility, all with the aim of fostering a more informed and connected citizenry.
