In today’s episode, I talk to Josh Kopel. He is a Michelin-rated restaurateur and the host of two podcasts — Full Comp: The Voice of the Restaurant Industry and Restaurant Marketing School.
The first time I listened to the Full Comp Podcast was an AHA moment for me…
Josh was interviewing Seth Godin—who’s influenced many of my entrepreneurial beliefs—and it was the first time I saw the hospitality industry directly connected to the thought leadership I consumed so much of.
For me, it opened a pandora’s box of possibility: What if more people in our industry were connected to these ideas? What could the impact be?
For example, what if more of us emodied this? 👇
“Change is not a threat, it’s an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.”
Seth Godin
If more of us were armed with this kind of thinking, I believe we’d make different decisions.
In this episode, we explore:
- Josh’s playbook to unlock an additional $5k per week…
- The importance of asking for help and developing mentors…
- How to stop tolerating 6% profit margins…
- The restaurant success recipe Josh uncovered through his own experience and interviewing industry leaders…
- And more.
