Let's be honest, running a bar is one thing. Running a nightclub? That's a whole different game. In this episode, I'm joined by Connor Treacy, who co-founded Off Sunset, one of LA's most buzzed-about nightclubs. We talk through everything you don't see on Instagram what it really takes to keep a club relevant, why you're basically running a circus, and how a tiny 150-person room was pulling in $4 million a year. If you've ever been curious about nightlife, or even tempted to open a club yourself, you'll want to hear this. It's not all champagne and celebrities. There's ego management, legal landmines, and a surprising amount of hands-on hustle. Here's what we get into: Why nightclubs are way riskier and more intense than most barsHow Connor built buzz without flashy marketing or big budgetsWhat it's like dealing with high-maintenance guests, drama, and paparazziHow much money clubs actually make and what it takes to keep it goingWhy Connor made the leap from nightlife to pizza (and what he's eyeing next)Give it a listen—this one's honest, behind-the-scenes, and packed with takeaways for anyone in hospitality.Connect with Connor Treacy on Instagram: @theconnortreacyFind him on LinkedIn: Connor Treacy on LinkedInVisit his website:  connortreacy.com Learn More:Schedule a Strategy SessionBar Business Nation Facebook GroupThe Bar Business Podcast WebsiteChris' Book 'How to Make Top-Shelf Profits in the Bar Business'Thank you to our show sponsors, SpotOn and Starfish.

Ever wondered what makes a great chef different from a good one? In this soul-stirring conversation, host Simon Zatyrka sits down with culinary leader Adam Lamb to uncover the human side of professional kitchens. From dishwashing beginnings to leadership wisdom, they dive into the beautiful chaos of kitchen life, revealing how presence, patience, and humanity create not just outstanding food but extraordinary teams.As Adam powerfully states, "What makes a great chef? I think really what separates the Good from the Great is this idea of being completely present in the moment, whether they're with their team or whether they're building a dish or where they're out with the guests. Nothing else exists except for that moment."This episode takes you on a journey through professional kitchens – from the "island of misfit toys" culture that welcomes dedicated workers regardless of background, to the heightened sensory awareness chefs develop that allows them to "hear" when food is perfectly cooked. Simon and Adam share candid stories about their formative culinary experiences, including Simon's trial-by-fire on a wood-fired grill and Adam's moment of revelation watching two line cooks move in perfect synchronization.You'll discover practical leadership techniques like the "reset button" – a simple 30-second pause with water that can restore humanity during kitchen chaos – and why creating a culture of calm leadership ultimately produces better food than fear-based motivation. As Adam wisely notes, "This industry is hard, and that's okay. It just doesn't have to be harsh."Whether you're a seasoned chef, an aspiring culinary professional, or simply someone who appreciates what happens behind restaurant doors, this episode delivers hard-earned insights about facing fear, finding calm in chaos, and remembering why we fell in love with food in the first place.Listen now to experience this conversation between two veteran chefs who've mastered not just cooking techniques, but the art of culinary leadership.Connect with Adampodcast website: https://www.chefliferadio.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chefadammlamb/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chefadammlamb/ Connect with SimonEmail: simon@culinarymechanic.comBook a Call: https://calendly.com/culinarymechanic/connectWebsite: https://www.simonsez.me/If you're interested in Starfish: https://www.usestarfish.com/
