Transcribe →Shot #151 - Fake Environments in the Hospitality Industry
Aug 24, 202100:06:56Tap to summarizeThis one has been bugging me a lot as of late, the amount of money being thrown around by establishments to get staff; signing bonuses, increased wages (which as sorely needed regardless, but not in the manner they have been overinflated) and more. My main concern right now is that is making the playing field completely unlevel for the vast majority of venues and is funded by government subsidies. But what happens when these subsidies dry up, the conversations about pay cuts, cut hours, reduced benefits; we are continuing the same mentalities as existed before the industry, entice en mass, work them to the bone and replace. The fundamentals in culture and employer behavior aren't changing for the most part and we are just replicating the past but with more money to spend.

Transcribe →Shot #149 - TikTok and Brands 2021/2022
Aug 10, 202100:28:17Tap to summarizeI have been promising to do this seminar for a while now and finally got around to tying it off, you can watch the seminar on Youtube here. I truly don't believe that social media is properly used by brands in the macro, let alone piling on the added need for TikTok; that being said, I do believe that TikTok gives you one of the best ways to connect with a macro audience. Short form video is underutilized and can be a game changer for many brands, it's easy to create, minimal edits and huge impact on the platform. I think that you can get a lot for a little on the platform and should be seriously considered for your brand going forward.

Transcribe →Episode #132 - Restaurant State of the Union, A Flashback or Is It?
Aug 6, 202101:29:16Tap to summarizeI have been harping about the state of the industry these last few weeks, labor shortage, wages, tangible and intangible benefits, everything. I still keep reading articles, seeing memes and so forth about staff not wanting to show up. This is a special flashback to a live event I did 3 days before the pandemic, we had no idea it was going to happen but the stories, advice and knowledge from Peter Zambri (Zambris), Solomon Siegel (Pagliacci's) and Brant Porter (Bartholomew's) is still relevant and shows that we were already dealing with a broken industry and many of us did not do the necessary work to fix it during the pandemic.TEXT ME on COMMUNITY - +1 250 999-4182Share a dram with the hospitality industry’s top global talents: bartenders, venue owners, distillers and industry aficionados.

Transcribe →Shot #148 - Rediscovering your Why?
Aug 3, 202100:06:59Tap to summarizeI went on a long overdue vacation last week which is why I didn't put up much content or post podcasts. I was really struggling with my Why? Why do I do this? Work as hard as I do? What's my driver? While I probably could have spent a couple more days on vacation with my family to truly unwind, the couple of days off gave me renewed sense of what I am doing to achieve my goals. I hope this helps you if you are struggling with your why lately.

Transcribe →Shot #147 - Languishing in Labor Shortage
Jul 20, 202100:07:49Tap to summarizeThis week's Shot gets a little deep and heated, I really wanted to get my thoughts down about the conversation of the labor shortage in our industry. It's not because the next generation are lazy, but because they are smarter and understand the industry more than some of us older generation do. Understanding the next generations needs is paramount to fixing the shortage we have right now. We need to look inward and fix the issues we have and have had for decades.
