More than a chef and restaurateur, Wolfgang Puck is a teacher and mentor. Wolfgang Puck originally learned cooking from his mother before starting his culinary career at age 14. He apprenticed with renowned chef Raymond Thuilier and worked at several prestigious restaurants in France and Monaco until moving to the United States in 1973 at age 24, where he opened a succession of award-winning restaurants that have attracted up and coming chefs from around the world, eager to learn from the master. In his conversation with Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Alexandra Canal, Puck recounts how he developed his teaching style from a rejection of the harsh working environment he experienced early in his career. In recent decades, Wolfgang Puck has made mentoring an essential part of his job as a restaurateur and continues to emphasize staying positive as part of his teaching style. He says: “Give people a positive experience so when they work, they say, I learned something today.” Puck’s culinary expertise and approach to his restaurants has earned him three Michelin stars and recognition as one of the most well known chefs in the world. He also has a long list of television credits including host, judge and even actor on several reality shows, sitcoms and dramatic series. Lead This Way is a new series from Yahoo Finance that features big interviews with business leaders shaping our world today.

Wolfgang Puck, both the man and the brand, are a household name. The renowned restaurateur and celebrity chef is known for his effervescent personality and his intense passion for food. In this episode of Yahoo Finance’s Lead This Way, the Austrian-American food icon takes off his gloves and apron and provides an inside look at how his curated leadership style fuels his global empire of award-winning restaurants. In the restaurant business for over 50 years, and earning three coveted Michelin stars, Puck credits a diligent work ethic and his family style restaurant approach to hospitality as the keys to his success. “I think you have to give people a family environment. They want to feel they belong to some culture or some kind of a family. I always tell people we have a family restaurant." Puck takes Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Alexandra Canal on a tour of his New York City restaurant, CUT, treating her to signature dishes and providing the background of how he not only leads but teaches his staff his style of preparing and serving his gourmet recipes. Puck’s influences have certainly shaped how he leads, crediting his mother for her compassionate encouragement and citing a tough introduction to the restaurant business. As to how Puck mentors his staff, he says, “I want them to maybe feel the passion I have and maybe they learn something from that and they grow that way and learn more and become a good chef or own their own restaurant.” Puck began his career in some of France’s greatest restaurants, including the Michelin two-starred L’Oustau de Baumanière in Provence. After coming to the U.S. in the early 1970s, Puck gained prominence as chef of Ma Maison in Los Angeles before opening his first flagship restaurant, Spago, in 1982. Wolfgang Puck’s restaurants, cookbooks, catering service and other products are managed under his three business divisions: Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group, Wolfgang Puck Catering, and Wolfgang Puck Worldwide, Inc.

Shares of Comcast (CMCSA) are up 5% on Thursday as the media giant beat revenue expectations for the fourth quarter. Net income rose over 7% on a year-over-year basis. The company also added around 3 million subscribers to its streaming platform Peacock, a 50% year-over-year gain. Is this enough for Peacock to be worth the investment from Comcast and cross the line into profitability? Jonathan Chaplin, New Street Research Managing Partner, joins Yahoo Finance to discuss Comcast's performance and how Comcast is focusing its energy on Peacock in a way that may take it ahead of the rest of the streaming pack. "I think the way that Comcast is approaching it, though, is a little bit different from everybody else in a couple of respects," Chaplin says. "First of all, they're really looking at Peacock as an extension of sort of part of an integrated media business where they've got linear channels and Peacock, and they're running the businesses in terms of sort of content production as well as their relationships with advertisers in an integrated fashion, and they're really focused, at this stage, on... scaling in the US market as opposed to trying to build out a global platform."
