Matt joins us again, he's always positive and fun to talk to. The Wild Hare is the 16th location in the portfolio he and his partners run, opening this weekend. We got into some details about how new locations are funded, how investors get paid, the location they have planned next in Nashville, and much more. Can't wait to get to hang with Matt one day, in the mean time, enjoy this episode...

We had a great time talking to these two high energy, fun guys! Brick Street is officially on the bucket list now. Their badass college bar is in the Final Four for the 2022 Barstool Sports Best College Bar competition. A family business that's been cranking out fun for the students and folks in Oxford for a few decades, Brick Street has cool story, a super fun team of people running it, and all sorts of seemingly non-stop events, concerts, and good times. Vote for them on twitter by tweeting #BestBarBrickSt or check out their Instagram for info on buying shirts for more votes. Enjoy...

Bella Monica has been serving up exceptional hospitality for twenty two years, and we're super proud to serve them at Schedulefly and to count Corbett Monica as a friend. You won't find a more genuine, kind, likable guy. We talked about the power of listening to his team members, the humanity of independent restaurants, how Corbett turned the down time from COVID into a positive, closing their second location as a result of COVID, and more. Highly recommended interview if you enjoy hearing from owners who've been consistently excelling for decades. Enjoy...

Long time friend and customer of Schedulefly Bret Oliverio from the world famous Sup Dogs found time to join us in the middle of being in the Bartsool Sports Best College Bar Final Four, preparing for a 4500 person outdoor party this week at his Greenville location, and getting ready for the iconic UNC vs. Duke NCAA Men's Final Four basketball game in a few days. And he and his bride have a 1-month old at home! Always great to check in with Bret, enjoy...
