“Say yes to every opportunity!” That’s the advice Jordan Arbus, a Lettuce intern (Class of 2012) turned General Manager at Ema, shares with the Intern Class of 2026. Translation: raise your hand, lean in, and learn fast. Fourteen years later, he still relies on the same skills he learned on his very first intern host shift: teamwork and collaboration. Thanks for the advice, and for all you do, Jordan! #LettuceLife...Show more
