Slick Talk: The Hospitality Podcast

Recently we did an in depth episode with Andrew Kitchell, Founder of Wheelhouse, and unfolded the story of what they've overcome these past two years. Now, with Wheelhouse securing $16 million in funding we jumped on a live Q&A and opened it up to friends, listeners, and our industry network to ask Andrew the questions they had about Wheelhouse and the future of the team.Mentioned in this episode: John deRoulet, team member of Wheelhouse.

You read the title correctly! We have been playing with the Spotify Live app and I did my first one with a good friend, Steve Turk! We even had our friend John Stokinger join for a few minutes!We’re calling this “The State of the Industry from Our Perspectives” because with a lot of people asking us the question, “what’s it like behind the scenes as a person in media?” And so it made sense to come on here and take that question head on by asking each other questions that will hopefully answer that for you all.Enjoy and make sure to follow the show on Spotify or your favorite audio platform!---------------Thank you for tuning into our podcast!

I sat down with Scott Parker who has multiple brands within different segments of hospitality & retail. From bars and restaurants, to barbershops and boxing gyms, the reason I invited Scott on the podcast is because his story is one we all should be able to relate to as entrepreneurs.The road to success isn't easy and failure isn't easy either because as humans we want nothing more but to be successful and on many different terms or definitions.This episode is brought to you by Jurny, NoiseAware, and Safely!---------------Thank you for tuning into our podcast!
