In this episode, Schoenberger takes on the role of interviewer, asking me personal and professional questions that reveal insights into my career, work ethic and philosophy on success in the restaurant industry. Schoenberger shares his inspiring story of building a restaurant empire, including BBQ’d Productions and Station 51, after starting with a small catering business.
Together, we reflect on our decade-long professional relationship, offering listeners actionable lessons on leadership, resilience and the entrepreneurial spirit. This episode is ideal for restaurant owners seeking inspiration, practical advice and a deeper understanding of the restaurant industry from two seasoned experts.
Listeners will hear a blend heartfelt stories with valuable lessons. I share some personal anecdotes, which lead to deeper reflections on the magic of hospitality and the intense personal investment it demands.
We offer a behind-the-scenes look at the transition from managing restaurants to me becoming a respected industry consultant. I share the beginnings of how I developed systems to streamline operations, improve cash flow and implement leadership strategies, all while navigating challenges like toxic workplace cultures and industry burnout.
Schoenberger also has fun with me, asking light-hearted questions to which I surprised myself with some very interesting answers!
