Thinking about running a virtual workshop: Hiring A-Players & Jobs Ads That Work in 5 Days. $37. You in?

The #1 thing that separates our industry's Best Operators, The Top 1%, and the rest of the pack is that they spend time each month WORKING ON their business, not just IN it.

The Top 1% attract top management & staff, they are far more predictable, they require much less of ownership's time and they produce profits multiples higher than the industry average.
But even many of these operators were rocked by Covid and were forced to play defense over the last 18 months. If you own a bar or restaurant, it’s time to get back on offense!

Trade shows are informative and brand-driven events can be useful but, in my experience, neither were transformative. So I built a format to help operators get maximum output in a short period of time. They are called Mastermind Intensives.

HERE'S HOW THEY WORK:
- We meet in a unique space. I bought a 115-year-old mansion in Annapolis for this purpose.
- It is a small group format. Roughly ~30 people and we are often in groups of 8
- We keep it simple- two big days and two big systems to learn and implement
- You are surrounded by people like you, heading in the same direction
- You are taught by people how have actually had success with the systems they are teaching (not just read books about them)
- Relationships are formed that last a lifetime through the learning, exercises, and fun we have!

At this August Intensive, we’re focusing heavily on two things:

First, on ensuring your business delivers strong, PREDICTABLE PROFITS and, second, on helping you 10X your MARKETING RESULTS.

TWO OTHER THINGS THAT MAKE THESE SPECIAL:
1. Peer-to-Peer mini-Masterclasses are always one of my favorite parts of our Intensives. We hand-pick four clients who’ll teach what they’re doing right now that allows them to outperform the market.

I love finding out what’s working now for people in their businesses, and these sessions are the fastest way I know to leverage all that real-world experience into practical business benefits.

2. Mastermind Sessions — always incredible, a group of your peers, getting you unstuck, and ready to move through the s**t that holds you back

Buckle up, it’s going to be epic! If you are interested in attending, direct message me "IN" for more details on how to sign-up.

No matter what your holidays look like this year, this time is a chance to reflect on where you are, who you are, and who you're with.
In NYC and nationwide, Chris Patino has had a hell of a journey already, despite his young years. He's conquered the world of bar activities (both tending, and operating/owning Raised by Wolves). He's a partner at SimpleServe, he's a father, and he's currently battling cancer. Talk about a priceless perspective on life!
I'm lucky to call Chris a friend. We'll chat tomorrow at 4pm Eastern over a few cocktails.

Hope you can join us - Register here:

These guys are just awesome.
If you’re in the industry, and you’ve had 1. a smartphone and 2. a sense of humor for 3. over a year, you’ve probably encountered the social media tornado that is Chris Patino or Erick Castro.

These two guys ( + / ) join me this Thursday to answer the infamous 10 questions, teach us 2 new cocktails, and get roasted with old photos my assistant digs up on Facebook….oh, and say “F**K CANCER” in unison.

It’s a party you won’t wanna miss.

I'm lucky to be joined by an old friend from Australia, Emma Isaacs, for a chat on the art of staying sane in entrepreneurship, and how to "wing it" like a pro.

She just came out with a book and has helped thousands of women worldwide establish their business and network, with great success.

Usually by the Tuesday after Tales, my life starts getting back to "normal". Tales is not only a place to learn and collaborate, it is where I get to connect with some of my closest friends from around the world.
This week -- while we can’t be fresh off a trip to the Big Easy and dusty from Rose at Bacchanal -- we can still have great company and cocktails. Ms. Franky is one of my favorite people in the industry. She is classy, funny, talented and smart. It takes a lot to stand out in one of the biggest industries in the world, but boy does she!
Thursday she will teach me/us 2 cocktails while I ask her 10 questions.
Join us to learn what working in NYC at the dawn of the craft-cocktail movement (at places like Clover Club & Dead Rabbit) felt like -- and learn about the fascinating spirit of Cognac from an equally fascinating woman, Ms. Franky Marshall.
