📌 Phone Home Ep. 28 | From Promoter to Restaurant Owner: The Real Game Behind Nightlife
🎙️ In this episode of the Phone Home Podcast, we sit down with Chase, an entrepreneur with over 18 years in the hospitality and nightlife game, to unpack his journey from promoter to business owner. We dive into the evolution of party culture, the parallels between nightlife and church experiences, and how the pandemic reshaped social life. Chase breaks down what it really takes to build a brand, maintain relationships, and adapt as the scene changes.
The conversation explores how hookah culture shifted the club atmosphere, why younger crowds drive competition, and how pricing and promotion strategies have evolved. We also touch on the challenges of staffing, liquor licensing, and high turnover in hospitality, along with what it means to operate a successful Black owned business.
By the end, Chase shares his philosophy on scaling, community engagement, and the balance between knowledge, consistency, and execution in the restaurant and nightlife industry.
