Inside Phoenix's Booming Business Community — Stories You Won't Hear Elsewhere
From family restaurants to tech startups, Arizona's entrepreneurial scene is exploding. El Jefe Podcast AZ is the show documenting it all — one honest conversation at a time.
Arizona Business Is Booming
The Phoenix metropolitan area added tens of thousands of businesses over the last decade. The Valley is now home to multiple Fortune 500 headquarters, a thriving startup ecosystem, and one of the most diverse small business communities in the Southwest.
But behind every business is a story. And most of those stories never get told publicly.
The Problem With Business Media
Most business media focuses on metrics, valuations, and growth strategies. It treats entrepreneurs like chess pieces on a board rather than real human beings.
El Jefe Podcast AZ takes a different approach. Host Jeff Killeen — who ran a beloved family restaurant in Arizona for years — understands that business is personal. It's about sacrifice, relationships, failure, and the will to keep going.

The El Jefe Difference
Jeff Killeen has a gift. He can get anyone talking — really talking — within minutes. Guests come on expecting a professional interview and leave feeling like they had dinner with an old friend.
That authenticity is what listeners love. That's what keeps them coming back.
