🔥 Big flavor met big innovation at the Genesis Catalyst Expo 🔥

We were proud to have the renowned Chef Michael Reed and Kwini Reed elevate the culinary experience at this year's Genesis Catalyst Expo. This dynamic duo are the owners of two acclaimed Southern California restaurants and Root of All Food, an innovative catering and special event company that provides immersive and curated dining experiences for corporate events, weddings, and exclusive gatherings.

Poppy & Seed is their Orange County flagship Michelin Guide recommended restaurant in the heart of Anaheim that has quickly become a must-visit culinary gem, known for pushing boundaries with its stunning greenhouse setting and hyper-seasonal farm-to-table dining experience with a vibrant atmosphere. Poppy + Rose has been a beloved brunch destination and "best breakfast in Los Angeles" favorite since 2014, offering California-inspired elevated country kitchen styled comfort food.

Chef Michael blends fine-dining technique and a passion for locally-sourced ingredients, while Kwini is known for her creativity and keen eye for curating unforgettable food experiences that turn every dish into a cherished moment. Chef Michael has made several television appearances on Food Network showcasing his culinary talents on Guy’s Grocery Games, Tournament of Champions, Alex vs America, and Chopped. Together, the Reeds and their culinary team brought their unique combination of creativity and craft to fuel the conversations, connections, and breakthroughs that happened at the Genesis Catalyst Expo.

✨Exceptional food. Unforgettable experience.

At the 2026 Genesis Catalyst Business Expo, one message came through clearly:

People don’t leave companies, they leave leadership.

In “People Powered Growth: Why Culture Eats Strategy and Leadership Drives Retention sponsored by BBSI,” our esteemed panelists from BBSI, EmpathifyU, and Genesis Bank unpacked the importance of culture and leadership quality, what’s really behind turnover, and what leaders can do to retain their best talent.

Key takeaways:
• Culture is not a perk, it’s infrastructure. It shapes how strategy actually shows up day to day.
• The “Accidental Manager” gap is real. High performers are often promoted without the training needed to lead people.
• Empathy is not a soft skill. It is a business advantage and a critical lever for engagement, performance, and retention.
• Retention starts long before someone quits. The warning signs are there if leaders know how to recognize them.

A powerful conversation on building organizations where people actually want to stay, and grow.

At Genesis Bank, we believe strong businesses are built on strong leadership and thriving teams.

As we approach the midpoint of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, we continue to celebrate this year’s theme: “Power in Unity: Strengthening Communities Together.”

Across AANHPI communities, entrepreneurs and small business leaders are building more than companies. They’re building bridges that create opportunity, spark innovation, and foster belonging, connecting cultures and strengthening neighborhoods along the way.

From local storefronts to growing startups, AANHPI founders exemplify resilience, creativity, and collaboration. Their stories remind us that when we invest in one another, amplify diverse voices, and work collectively, we build stronger, more vibrant communities for all.

This month and beyond, we honor the power in unity and the entrepreneurs and small businesses who bring it to life every day.
