Host-read sponsor message promoting a hydration product A-Game and its benefits for intense exercise.
The most powerful business tool in the world isn’t capital, technology, or talent, it’s a relationship. David Grutman built one of the most dominant hospitality empires in America not by outspending competitors, but by outrelating them. In this episode, he breaks down the relationship-first philosophy that took him from the back of the house at Tantra on South Beach to partnering with Live Nation’s Michael Rapino and building some of the highest-grossing restaurants per square foot in the country.
