There is nowhere else in the world quite like San Sebastián, Spain. Dozens of pintxo bars where you wander in, grab a small bit and a glass of wine before heading off to the next o e. The energy is infectious and the food to die for!

This stuff was the real deal.

Humility is a key ingredient for success in the P3 Mastermind. Everyone has basically raised their hand to ask for help… and the generosity of the group is what makes it so special. I feel grateful to be at the center of so many great conversations. I look forward to welcoming new members over the course of the next 6 weeks!

The best part about traveling is getting to check out iconic spots all around the world. This weekend I switched off to get away for a weekend golf trip… and landed here at … and despite being the VERY LAST people in the dining room, the staff took care of us as if we were the first table of the night. The signature stroganoff was lights out, the wine list was smartly curated (we found a cool Sicilian red), and the staff couldn’t have been more attentive and gracious. I hardly ever introduce myself when I dine out simply because I want to see how a typical guest is treated. This place is worth visiting! 🙏🙏🙏

Devin Eichler, owner of , is doing something really special out in Wisconsin. He’s created a vibrant bar that is so much more than a bar. A well-designed space with a killer beer list and a KILLER menu… including the number one chicken sandwich in Milwaukee. I had the pleasure of sneaking in for a bit last night, and man it did not disappoint. I love watching his journey and feel grateful to be a small part of their success 🐓🏆😎

Day One of the P3 Profitability Summit is in the books and what an incredible room of operators and entrepreneurs! Big love to all of the P3 Members who made the trip to St. Louis and cheers to the new friends who came out to join. It was a long day and I am exhausted beyond words… but also grateful to be able to surround myself with so many passionate individuals. Special shout-out to our partners for making this whole thing possible:

Tell me if this sounds familiar: Your restaurant does a ton of revenue, but at the end of the month there’s nothing left for you. That’s a profit problem and we have helped hundreds of restaurant owners turn things around. We can show you too. DM us the words “I’m Ready” if it’s time to fix what’s broken. // Big thanks to Gordon and Katie for trusting the program, trusting the process, and putting in the hard work to turn a great restaurant into a profitable one.

Rusty Leary, owner of Mill City Public House () went from 14% to 27% profits in just 90 days. How? Simply implementing a couple of key systems. Boom!

This was an email received today from one of our P3 Members. Tara is the owner of in Great Falls, MT, and she has been crushing it these last several months. She already had a thriving business when she joined the program, but just needed help dialing in the profit piece. And now, with the extra cash flow she’s been able to bring on a new manager so she can spend more time in other aspects of the business… and of course, spending more time with her family. Messages like these are the best part of what we do!
