#94.In this powerful episode, we sit down with Josh Kopel, restaurateur, consultant, speaker, and former President of the California Restaurant Association, whose story is one of transformation, from building a multimillion-dollar restaurant empire in Los Angeles to rethinking the way hospitality businesses are built and run.Kopel is best known for founding a Hollywood bar that became a local legend, launching a Michelin-awarded fine dining restaurant, and building an award-winning fast-casual brand. But by early 2020, he was burned out. With the pandemic looming, Josh sold everything—not as an exit, but as an evolution.What came next was FULL COMP, a podcast born out of a commitment to rebuild the industry from the inside out. Paring his own experience with candid conversations with industry legends, Josh codified the systems, strategies, and stories that drive long-term success in hospitality. Those insights became the Restaurant Scaling System: a step-by-step framework helping restaurant owners regain control, increase profits, and build businesses that don't burn them out.In 2025, Josh launched the 5-Day Restaurant Profitability Masterclass—a free, high-impact crash course that distills decades of lessons into five focused sessions. It's not theory; it's a practical blueprint for restaurateurs ready to stabilize their operations, grow sustainably, and finally enjoy the freedom they've earned.During the episode, Josh shares valuable insights on understanding customer needs, the power of teaching over doing in consulting, and effective strategies to boost profitability through targeted marketing and customer engagement. He also discusses the concept of product-market fit and how restaurants can harness AI to streamline operations and enhance efficiency. Links and resources

This week, we're taking a close look at the Supreme Court's ruling in Bondi v. VanDerStok. To do that, we have the Independence Institute's David Kopel on the show. Kopel has written extensively on gun policy and been cited repeatedly at the Supreme Court. So, there are few people better qualified to dissect what the VanDerStok ruling means. Kopel argued the decision upholding the ATF's "ghost gun" kit ban is relatively narrow, but still likely applies to more than just the Polymer80 "buy build shoot" kits discussed at length by the majority. He also explained why the majority decided the case as a facial challenge and why he, along with Justices Thomas and Alito, disagrees with the use of that standard. He said the Trump Administration could have tried to intervene in this case, but didn't move fast enough. However, he argued that it can still try to undo the rule despite the decision. Kopel also gave his view on where the balance of the court lies on gun issues and whether there's a reliable way to read what they might do with other pending gun cases.

DID THE DEMS JUST PASS ANOTHER UNCONSTITUTIONAL GUN BILL? I've got Dave Kopel from the Independence Institute on to discuss at 1 today, as he is the guy who studies this stuff all day long. By the way, Dave Kopel is Research Director of the Independence Institute; an Adjunct Scholar at the Cato Institute, in Washington; and a Senior Fellow at the University of Wyoming College of Law Firearms Research Center. His website is davekopel.org. He writes frequent for the Volokh Conspiracy law blog, hosted by Reason magazine. So he knows what he's talking about.

One of the biggest reasons restaurants struggle with sales isn't always the food or service — it's awareness. Either people know about you but don't care, or they would care if they knew about you. My guest today, Josh Kopel, calls this the Awareness Formula, and in this episode of my podcast, The Restaurant Prosperity Formula, he shares powerful strategies that help restaurant owners become known in their market. Kopel has mastered a critical component of restaurant success: marketing. He is not just a restaurateur — he's a tech pioneer, a Michelin-rated fine dining operator, and one of the best marketing minds in the industry. If you've been struggling with getting more customers in the door, keeping your tables full, and making marketing work for your restaurant, this episode is for you.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order that reviews federal gun policy with the aim of implementing some changes. However, it's unclear exactly what changes might come from the order. So, we've got Second Amendment scholar David Kopel on the show to try and give some clarity to what's possible. Kopel walks through each section of the order and explains what kind of actions they could lead to. He notes the ATF rules are likely to be an area of emphasis and one that may have the biggest practical impact. Similarly, the rollback of the ATF's "zero tolerance" enforcement policy for gun dealers could be significant and happen much faster. He also explained how the order could lead to the Department of Justice changing its stance in Second Amendment litigation or reclassifying certain guns to make them easier to import. He said it could also do smaller things like revoke and respond to reports from the seemingly defunct White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

Today, we're delving into the heart of Freemasonry and exploring one of its most fundamental tenets: the requirement for members to profess a belief in a Supreme Being. This is a topic that often sparks curiosity and debate, both within and outside the fraternity. Bro. Jonathan Kopel, a neurologist in Washington, DC, joins us as we unpack the reasons behind this requirement, its historical context, and how it shapes the Masonic experience.Show Notes:Follow the Craftsmen Online Podcast on SpotifySubscribe to the Craftsmen Online Podcast on Apple PodcastsVisit the Craftsmen Online website to learn more about our Reading Room, New York Masonic History section, and see our Lafayette Bicentennial Events Calendar!Get our latest announcements and important updates in your inbox with the Craftsmen Online Newsletter Email the host, RW Michael Arce!

The Supreme Court handed down its first Second Amendment ruling in two years on Friday. It's also the first case where The Court applied the test it developed in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. Those facts alone mean US v. Rahimi will hold a great deal of influence on gun cases across the nation. So, we've got one of the top pro-gun scholars in the country on the show to break down what The Court did and didn't hold. Independence Institute's David Kopel has been at the forefront of the Second Amendment fight for decades, with citations in federal court decisions coast to coast and at the Supreme Court itself. He also filed a brief in Rahimi that appears to have significantly influenced the majority's thinking. Kopel lays out the good, bad, and ugly of the ruling that upheld the domestic violence restraining order gun ban. He said he wasn't surprised The Court upheld Rahimi's conviction, given a lower court found him dangerous. He also agreed with some of the warnings about how the majority loosened the standard for the Bruen test that Justice Clarance Thomas included in his lengthy dissent. However, Kopel said he was overall pleased with the Rahimi decision's outcome. He argued it gave credence to future challenges to the same law by defendants who don't have the same lengthy criminal record as Rahimi did. He also predicted how the case might impact other Second Amendment cases pending in the lower courts. Special Guest: David Kopel.

The Supreme Court just finished oral arguments in its latest Second Amendment case. So, this week on the show, we've got scholar David Kopel with us to give his perspective on the arguments made and the questions asked by the Justices in United States v. Rahimi. Kopel was on the show about a month ago describing his brief in the case. And the issue in that brief came up in oral arguments. Kopel reacts to the discussion around the more problematic section of the federal law that bars those subject to domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns. He also gave his view on the government retreating from the idea that anyone who isn't "law-abiding" or "responsible" can be disarmed. Kopel said that retreat was significant and could have implications for other Second Amendment cases coming down the line. At the same time, he said Rahimi's lawyer had to make his own retreats and the Justices seemed unsympathetic to his overarching argument. Kopel predicted the Court would probably release its ruling before the summer and he expected it would uphold the ban. But he said the details of the ruling are harder to predict. Plus, Contributing Writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss the massive upswing in Israeli civilian gun ownership after the October 7th attacks. Special Guest: David Kopel.

Today's show is a reading of an amicus curiae ("friend of the court") filed in the case of US v. Rahimi, which is proceeding to the US Supreme Court from the 5th Circuit.Rahimi involves the question of whether a presumptively law-abiding American citizen can be denied their Second Amendment rights when constrained by a domestic violence restraining order, in the absence of any finding of dangerousness on behalf of the person constrained by the order.Although gun control propagandists will argue that Rahimi is about giving guns to domestic abusers, in fact Second Amendment advocates readily agree Second Amendment rights can be denied to people demonstrated to be dangerous.It is the absence of any showing of dangerousness that is key to Rahimi.A recent 3-judge panel decision out of the 5th Circuit finding that the deprivation of Second Amendment rights as a consequence of a civil domestic violence restraining order in the absence of a showing of dangerousness is an unconstitutional infringement of the Second Amendment.Today's show will be my reading of an amici curiae authored by Second Amendment law giant Attorney David Kopel, and friend of the Law of Self Defense community, Attorney Konsta Moros.  In this amici curiae Kopel and Moros present powerful legal argument in support of the 5th Circuit decision read yesterday.Enjoy the show!THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

This week, we're turning our attention back to the Supreme Court. It is deciding the first gun case since its landmark decision last year. And we have one of the most influential Second Amendment scholars in the country on the show to discuss it. David Kopel joins the podcast to explain his amicus brief in United States v. Rahimi. He is one of the most accomplished scholars on the topic. His work has been cited in countless federal court decisions and all of the Supreme Court's major Second Amendment rulings. In Rahimi, Kopel argued the federal law barring those under domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns is unconstitutional. He said the problem lies in a provision that doesn't require any finding that the subject of the restraining order is dangerous. But he also noted the problem could be fixed with a single word being changed. He argued Rahimi is the kind of person who should be barred from owning guns. However, he said the law doesn't pass the Court's history and tradition test as it is currently written. Plus, Contributing Writer Jake Fogleman and I explain how Israel is loosening its gun laws in the wake of terror attacks. Special Guest: David Kopel.

Can you fathom the sheer magnitude of a crisis brewing in Israel? Join us as we delve into the heart of the Middle East, with author Hank Kopel (War on Hate), an expert on the Israeli-Palestinian war. His book, War on Hate, seeks to unravel the complexities of this heart-wrenching conflict. Together, we examine the horrifying events following a breach of the Erev Crossing by Hamas terrorists and how this will trigger all-out war, sparking ethical, political, and moral debates worldwide, including anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian demonstrations in New York City.It's a geopolitical minefield as we broach the unsettling possibility of Iran's nuclear ambitions, the potential risks of the United States engaging in a war with Iran, and the wisdom behind America's shift away from Sunni Arab states into Iran. It's a rare and intricate look into the high-stakes world of Middle Eastern politics, and the potential domino effect on global peace and security.Lastly, we set our sights on the emerging Cold War between China, Russia, and Iran. How does the US's withdrawal from the Abraham Accords impact this delicate balance? We explore the often polarizing concept of Trump Derangement Syndrome and the shadow it may cast on our perception of Middle Eastern affairs. We also look at a possible second front in the Israeli conflict and the urgent need for accurate and balanced reporting in these perilous times. With Hank's expert insights, we aim to shed some light on these challenging issues, and the potential for escalating conflicts that touch us all, no matter where we are in the world.

See also his bio page at the Independence Institute.Kopel discusses his recent article, “Guns Kill People, and Tyrants with Gun Monopolies Kill the Most” (which he summarizes at Volokh). Here is the abstract:What are the relative risks of a nation having too many guns compared to the risks of the nation having too few guns? Comparing and contrasting Europe and the United States during the twentieth century, the article finds that the United States might have suffered up to three-quarters of million excess firearms homicide over the course of the century—based on certain assumptions made to maximize the highest possible figure. In contrast, during the twentieth century Europe suffered 87 million excess homicides against civilians by mass-murdering tyrannical governments. The article suggests that Americans should not be complacent that they have some perpetual immunity to being subjected to tyranny. The historical record shows that governments planning mass murder work assiduously to disarm their intended victims. While victim resistance cannot necessarily overthrow a tyrannical regime, resistance does save many lives.Recently Kopel discussed his book on the Colorado Constitution with Jon Caldara.Kopel discusses William English’s paper, “2021 National Firearms Survey.”During the discussion Kopel mentioned Antonio Gramsci. We discussed the Victims of Communism museum. I wrote down my thoughts on nationalism in a 2016 article. I quoted Wikipedia on international homicide statistics. I also quoted the Texas Tribune and a union poll about arming teachers. And I mentioned Robert Zubrin’s article about the Russian authoritarian mystic Aleksandr Dugin.

In this episode Lauren Wetmore speaks with writer and organizer Dana Kopel about her widely-read article “Against Artspolitation: Unionizing the New Museum,” published in September 2021 by The Baffler. In conversation, Kopel expands on “the personal and messy dimensions” of unionizing work, and reflects on the challenges of calling out the exploitation, abuses, and hypocrisies of an art industry that, at the time, she was actively working in. She doesn't hold back on the sacrifices made or the consequences suffered as a result of this successful union drive, but she also stresses that there is never a sole author. Kopel offers emotional and practical resources for organizing work but also acknowledges that “the fight really doesn't end … the end point is the end of capitalism, the end of institutions, and abolition. And until we get there, this is just what we keep doing every fucking day.”We wish to thank Jacob Irish (Editor) and Chris Andrews (Assistant Producer).Thanks especially to Dana Kopel for her contribution to this season. Look for us on Google Podcasts, iTunes, and other podcast apps.Please consider donating through our Patreon campaign.To inquire about advertising opportunities or other forms of support, please contact: skygoodden@momus.ca.

He went independent in 2010, opening his first concept Five0Four—a New Orleans-inspired bar—on the Walk of Fame in the heart of Hollywood. Ten years later, he's created a family of brands ranging from Michelin-rated fine-dining to fast-casual, all with a central focus on Southern hospitality and Southern cuisine. >> 1:22 What is the average net income of restaurants, and what was Josh's? >> 2:34 Why Josh sold his VERY successful and profitable bar in Hollywood. >> 5:39 Why he decided to close Preux & Proper- Michelin-rated restaurant in DTLA >> 9:06 The birth of the Full Comp Podcast >> 11:16 How Yelp became a sponsor for the Full Comp podcast. >> 16:39 The birth of inhousedelivery.com and how it's going now. >> 20:34 What is the Pineapple Post and how to find it. >> 23:53 "I asked myself, what is the one investment I could make that I wouldn't regret in six months or in six years?

Josh is the owner of Preux and Proper, Founder and CEO of FLO Hospitality and Host of the Full Comp Podcast; and this episode with him didn't go down the path I had initially planned - but it turned out far better than I could have hoped. In fact, that ‘pivot' to something new ended up being the central theme of the show. This is something many in hospitality are grappling with right now and Josh paints a detailed picture about his experience through the pandemic and the evolution that we need to push for in the hospitality industry if we want to see meaning change going forward. On this episode we discuss: Where it all started for Josh (4:30) Asking for help (8:40) What needs the change (10:06) Recognizing when things don't work for you anymore (12:17) Leveraging and engaging the community around you (18:09) How the Industry Guide to Restructuring for Restaurants came about (20:32) What changes need to happen in the restaurant industry (24:10) Why you've got to be flexible (28:50) Where do the restaurants in downtown locations go from here? (32:20) About Josh I'm an entrepreneur, restaurateur and environmental advocate. Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the spawn of bootleggers and retail giants, I was bred for the hospitality industry. Throughout my 20+ year career in food and beverage I have managed venues ranging from the Alligator Bayou Bar, located on Alligator Bayou Road, seated on Alligator Bayou (it was exactly how you're picturing it in your mind) to the hottest Hollywood nightclubs, bars, and ultra-lounges (far less glamorous than you're picturing it in your mind). I went independent in 2010, opening my first concept Five0Four—a New Orleans-inspired bar—on the Walk of Fame in the heart of Hollywood. Ten years later, we've created a family of brands ranging from Michelin-rated fine dining to fast casual, all with a central focus on Southern hospitality and Southern cuisine. I have a ton to be thankful for. Not only have we been able to create sustainable concepts that have lasted for years, but those concepts have thrived. These victories were hard fought and there were a ton of mistakes and lessons along the way. In 2020, I've turned my attention towards new challenges. My newest project involves servicing the service industry. I look that the failure rate in our industry and I'm working to provide tools and strategies to give restaurant owners and operators a fighting chance. As I challenge myself to keep learning and growing, I'm committed to improving the lives of my peers and showing the world the beauty of the hospitality industry.
