    On this episode of Health Matters & More, Dr. Richard Busch sits down with Bryce Fox, owner of Arena Bar & Grill โ€” one of Fort Wayneโ€™s most beloved neighborhood destinations. But before Bryce became the face behind Arena, his journey started with humble beginnings โ€” working at places many locals will remember like Hot-N-Now and Pizza Hut, learning the value of hard work, customer service, and perseverance from the ground up. Bryce also shares how he first came to know Dr. Busch โ€” not as a business owner, but as a patient seeking help through Neuropathy therapy, looking for answers and relief. That experience sparked a relationship built on trust and a shared passion for helping people live better lives. The conversation dives deep into the reality of owning a bar and restaurant, including how the kitchen operates as its own separate business, the challenges behind the scenes, and what it takes to consistently deliver food and service that keeps people coming back. But more than anything, Bryce opens up about why he loves what he does โ€” the people. He talks about how Arena has grown into a place with that true โ€œCheersโ€ feel โ€” where everyone knows your name, friendships are formed, and the sense of community is just as important as the wings and pizza. This episode is about grit, growth, second chances, and building something bigger than yourself โ€” one relationship at a time. ๐ŸŽง Listen now on Spotify and hear Bryceโ€™s powerful story.
