Ep 36. Andrew Park – Yale SOM: Chick-fil-A, Fashion, and Yale, All at Once
Today’s guest is Andrew Park, a Yale Executive MBA candidate whose career spans chicken, fashion, and a whole lot of frequent flyer miles.
When he’s not in class, Andrew is running one of the most successful Chick-fil-A locations in Southern California and building his own luxury men’s fashion brand, Urbane and Gallant (link below). Every other week, he flies cross-country from Los Angeles to New Haven for class, sometimes adding a stop in Paris to lay the groundwork for Fashion Week.
In this episode, Andrew shares:
🔹 How he juggles the demands of running a restaurant, building a fashion brand, and pursuing an MBA
🔹 Why he takes a people-first approach to every venture he’s involved in
🔹 The unique perspective he brings to Yale SOM’s Executive MBA program
Andrew’s story is a reminder that business is never just about profit- it’s about people, vision, and balance.
