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

Climbing the Charts with Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller

“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.
