   This is Goodbye with Jake Madosik

   In this final episode of Unfiltered Discussions, I couldn't think of a better guest than Jake Madosik—my childhood friend and one of my closest companions. Jake and I began our podcasting journey together in early 2021 when we launched the Bleach Bros Podcast. This episode serves as an introduction for my Unfiltered Discussions audience to Jake while also offering a heartfelt send-off to the loyal fans of the Bleach Bros Podcast. Jake is a dynamic professional whose career seamlessly combines his passions for sales, culinary arts, and media. With over 20 years of experience in both front-of-house (FOH) and back-of-house (BOH) operations, Jake refined his culinary skills under the guidance of James Beard Award-winning mentors at the Art Institute of Portland, where he earned a Bachelor of Culinary Business Management. His expertise has led to regular guest chef appearances on KATU’s Afternoon Live and AM Northwest, as well as RipCity Mornings on 620 AM iHeartMedia. Beyond the kitchen, Jake boasts over a decade of success in sales and management. His tenure at Nordstrom sharpened his customer service acumen, laying the groundwork for his achievements in both business and interpersonal relationships. J ake’s media journey includes a celebrated run as a radio on-air personality under personas such as "Jake the Hater," "Jake the Tailgater," "JFM," and simply "Jake." He also co-hosted the hit podcasts Bleach Bros Podcast and The Hateful Gnome’s Music Hut, where his storytelling, humor, and love of music captivated audiences. At the heart of Jake’s life are his wife, Katie, and their three children: Lylah, Adeline, and Steele. A proud family man, Jake resides in the Pacific Northwest, where his relentless drive and passion continue to inspire those around him.
