What happens when the coach becomes the one in the hot seat? In this episode of “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula” podcast, I hand the mic to longtime friend and Mastery Plus member, Brian Sandel, co-owner of Creekwood Grill in Cypress, Texas. Sandel brings decades of restaurant experience to the table — and plenty of tough, thoughtful questions. Together, we dive into leadership lessons, the realities of restaurant ownership and even personal stories that shaped my journey. If you tune in, you’ll hear candid insights about success, failure, impostor syndrome, and why systems and processes are the foundation of lasting prosperity in the hospitality and restaurant business.

When money’s tight, creativity has to be tighter — and that’s exactly what you’ll learn about in episode 133 of the “Restaurant Prosperity Formula” podcast. I share how the most resilient operators innovate without big tech, big teams or big checks. You’ll learn how to spot high-impact opportunities right under your nose, pressure-test ideas cheaply, measure what matters (so you stop guessing) and either scale the winners or kill the losers — quickly. You’ll also hear real results from fellow owners who trimmed food cost, simplified menus, boosted repeat visits and turned “dead space” into revenue. This is a blueprint for using leadership, systems, training, accountability and action to create momentum when the margin for error is paper thin.

If your restaurant feels like it’s running your life, this episode of “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula” podcast is for you. I invited leadership expert and author of “Watch Me Rise Dr. Doug “Dr. Luff” Luffborough — who went from homelessness to Harvard and a career coaching leaders — to join me and talk straight to restaurant owners about why prosperity starts with leadership. We connect his story to the Restaurant Prosperity Formula I teach and focus on what you can expect to learn: how your personal life fuels your leadership, how your default style shapes results and how balanced teams create freedom and profit.
