145. William Bradley: Discipline, Identity & 3 Michelin Stars

July 1, 2026·56 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

For nearly twenty years, Chef William Bradley quietly pursued a vision that many believed was impossible: building one of the world's great restaurants in San Diego.   In this conversation, the Addison master chef reflects on the long road to becoming Southern California's first three Michelin-star restaurant, the discipline required to sustain excellence, and why true mastery isn't built through breakthrough moments, but through thousands of ordinary days executed extraordinarily well.   Together, Gabriel Ornelas and William explore identity, leadership, consistency, sacrifice, California Gastronomy, and the enduring pursuit of becoming more fully yourself.   This is a conversation about far more than Michelin stars. It's about what twenty years of unwavering commitment can teach us about building a meaningful life.   Learn more about ADDISON and book a reservation: https://bit.ly/3QzMdUl     Follow ADDISON on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3SGa1GC   Follow On The Pass on Instagram: http://bit.ly/3Kvg     Subscribe to On The Pass on YouTube: https://bit.ly/4hajZq8     Follow our Host, Gabriel Ornelas: http://bit.ly/3YS964b     Learn more about On The Pass: https://bit.ly/44rEOsR     Lets work together!
