We all have to start somewhere, and often that means having to work our way up from humble beginnings. David Whitaker, the President and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, is very familiar with this story. Growing up in a very small town in Georgia, David found the pathway out by getting to college, landing his first marketing job, and moving to Miami. Now, he is making a difference in the city, showcasing the strengths of its diversity and wonderful communities. In this episode, he takes us across his journey from small town to leading in a big city. David talks about the continuous evolution and growth of Miami, and how he is dealing with that as a CEO of a tourism promotion organization. A diverse city offers diverse opportunities. And for David, Miami is a great place that continues to provide that. Tune in and find out about the exciting projects and outlooks on the future of the city.

Welcome to The Tech Chef! This is your host, Skip Kimpel coming to you from the https://restaurantleadership.com/ (Restaurant Leadership Conference) here in the desert of Arizona.  If this is your first time joining, you have found the industry's most popular podcast related to the restaurant, hotel and hospitality industry. Make sure you don't miss a show by subscribing to this show using your favorite podcast software or app. And for all of you that are returning to hear what I have to say this week, well, welcome back! Today I have a well-known South Florida operator on the show, https://www.linkedin.com/in/abe-ng-9a2936/ (Abe Ng), who is the founder and CEO of https://www.sushimaki.com/ (Sushi Maki) – South Florida's award-winning leader in innovative Japanese cuisine serving fresh, premium quality food throughout Miami Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County. In this role, he oversees the strategic development and management of the 25 locations owned and operated under the Sushi Maki and Canton Chinese brand names, and is a partner with Whole Foods Markets for sushi stations in the South Florida Region stores. A Miami native, Ng serves on various boards, including the Greater Miami Convention and Visitor Bureau, National Christian Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters Miami, the Cornell University Hospitality Entrepreneurship Advisory Board, City to City Miami and the Florida Restaurant Association. Abe was recognized as one of the Miami Herald's 20 Under 40 and the South Florida Business Journal's 40 Under 40. Abe was recently honored as Ultimate CEO by the South Florida Business Journal and was a regional finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. In 2018, Sushi Maki was awarded Whole Foods Market Supplier of the year for the Florida Region.

Jose Sotolongo works with the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau for Miami. Jose is a passionate Miami runner who has run the Miami Marathon or the Miami Half Marathon every year since it started in 2003. www.themiamimarathon.com His story is similar to many people that as an adult he came to running as a way to lose weight and quit smoking. His first run of a mile ended with his neighbor thinking he was having a heart attack. Jose has run 16 Full and 36 half marathons. We talk about running the first edition of the Toyota Prius Tropical Marathon in 2003 and how the race has changed in 14 years. We talk about what perks you get when you run a race every year. We talk about what his favorite part of the Miami Marathon course is. We talk about Miami 365 and also where he thinks the best place to run in Miami. Jose told me that Miami is the only city that has downloadable running routes www.miamiandbeaches.com . That is pretty cool. Jose's favorite other local race is the Turkey Trot and he explains why that is. He also gives some advice for new runners getting ready for their first marathon. Because of Jose's position with the convention bureau he has some great information about the impact of the marathon on the city of Miami. We also chat about how being a little bit competitive can keep you motivated from year to year. We talk about the famous quote from Dean Karnases which might have actually been said first by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up.” ― Dean Karnazes “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”  - MLK Jr. I want to say a special thank you to Frankie Ruiz - unofficial Miami running Mayor of Miami for connecting me with Jose Sotolongo for this interview. Thank you for listening and be sure to visit www.amysaysso.com for more fun stuff that I'm doing.
