About this episode

What happens when the coach becomes the one in the hot seat? In this episode of “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula” podcast, I hand the mic to longtime friend and Mastery Plus member, Brian Sandel, co-owner of Creekwood Grill in Cypress, Texas. Sandel brings decades of restaurant experience to the table — and plenty of tough, thoughtful questions. Together, we dive into leadership lessons, the realities of restaurant ownership and even personal stories that shaped my journey. If you tune in, you’ll hear candid insights about success, failure, impostor syndrome, and why systems and processes are the foundation of lasting prosperity in the hospitality and restaurant business.
