How to create customers where perhaps you didn't think they could exist I’m a firm believer that success influences success and today’s guest – Karim Webb along with his business partner Braxton Barnett have created a successful model for opening restaurants in the inner city, starting with South Central Los Angeles. Not only is their [...] The post [Ep#172] How to create customers where perhaps you didn’t think they could exist appeared first on The Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast Network.

There's that old line. When you're thinking about opening a restaurant, the three most important things are location, location and location.Edward Barnett agrees, but the way he chose the location for his first restaurant in what is now becoming a chain goes against nearly every bit of conventional wisdom and advice.Edward was on a mission. Not just to do well, but to do good. So, along with his partner, Karim Webb, he opened their first Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in one of the toughest neighborhoods in L.A., Crenshaw, a place where violence, crime and lack of opportunity was a way of life.They wanted to offer a dining experience that wasn't available in Crenshaw. But, they also wanted to create a place of opportunity, jobs and community. A place where kids and adults alike could get off the streets, learn a trade and build a career. A place not just to work, but where they knew someone cared about them.Where everyone cautioned them and said they'd fail, they've succeeded. It's still hard at times, but it's worth the effort. They've created a place where people not only come to eat, but come to gather. And for those who work there, they've also created a path to possibility and hope.In this week's episode, I sit down with Edward to explore both his life and the lessons he's learned, along with what it's been like trying to build a sustainable business and an engine of impact in a place that's known so little of both.

We will discuss the recent Democratic Debates, Lamarr Odom, and our continuing conversation on the challenges facing our youth. Our special guest will be Karim Webb, restauranteur, businessman, philanthropist, and community leader.

Meet Karim Webb and Edward Barnett of PCF Management, 2014 California Small Business of the Year Award winner and one that is sparking attention in struggling LA communities for being a fearless force of employment and opportunity for many who have lived too long without. For years businesses have been reluctant to move into inner city areas like South Central Los Angeles. Concerns like: can we make a profit, will we need to deal with vandalism, gangs, stealing, etc have plagued these areas, with businesses ultimately opting out of any construction or development opportunities. But a REVOLUTION is happening - and it's because of these two brave men. Karim & Ed are transforming their community by bringing a ferocious amount of wonderful and inspired ideas, knowhow and compassion to the table of a community that's needed support and encouragement for a long time. And it certainly doesn't stop with their restaurant ventures. Together, Mr. Webb and Mr. Barnett have created a successful model for opening...
