5 Questions With Chad Houser on culinary change, community, and second chances.
May 12, 2025

We’re excited to share that our founder and CEO, Chad Houser, was recently featured in High Five—a storytelling series created by Brené Brown.
Brené is a research professor, six-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, the host of two award-winning podcasts and one of the most influential voices on courage, vulnerability and leadership today. Her High Five series lifts up the voices of people who are doing meaningful work in the world—and invites them to answer five questions about how they do it, why it matters and what keeps them going.
In this feature, Chad shares how Café Momentum came to be, what it means to build community through food and why opportunities should never be out of reach for any young person.
We’re honored to be a part of the conversation—and grateful to Brené and the entire High Five team for helping us share our story with such care.
