Last week reminded me that sometimes progress doesn’t arrive as one giant breakthrough. It comes from a bunch of little moments that start connecting. 💚 An Opportunity From Portugal One of the coolest moments of the week was meeting with the team behind Grandma’s Table, an early supper club concept from Portugal interested in potentially bringing an experience to New York. Even crazier? They told me they discovered MEAT Hospitality Group through ChatGPT. We had a great conversation about our...

LITTLE WINS | AUGUST 3–7 💚 Some weeks aren’t about one giant breakthrough. They’re about showing up enough times that eventually the breakthrough has somewhere to land. This week was one of those weeks. Over 100 doors. I prospected more than 100 places for work this week. Some conversations lasted a few seconds. Others opened doors. Most won’t turn into anything immediately. But that’s prospecting. You don’t know which conversation becomes the one that changes something. You just keep...

WE’LL BE OKAY. Sometimes a few simple words find you at exactly the right moment. We’ll be okay. Not because everything is perfect. Not because every plan works. And definitely not because we know exactly what comes next. We’ll be okay because there is always another person to meet, another conversation to have, another idea to explore, and another first step to take. That idea has been sitting with me. Because when I think about what we’re building at MEAT Hospitality Group, that’s really...

Hi everyone, Today, I wanted to share something exciting. Going forward, MEAT Hospitality is becoming MEAT Hospitality Group. Why the change? Because our vision has grown. What started as a passion for bringing people together through food has become something bigger—a community for food lovers, creators, entrepreneurs, and anyone with a dream or an idea they want to bring to life. You’ll still see the dinners, the stories, the hospitality, and the Little Wins newsletter. But you’ll also see...

Hi everyone, As this week comes to a close, I wanted to leave you with one reminder. Progress doesn’t always look like a finish line. Sometimes it looks like following up. Taking one more meeting. Sending one more email. Having one more conversation. Getting out of bed when you don’t feel like it. This week reminded me that the biggest opportunities rarely come from one big moment. They come from consistency. The people who change their lives have one thing in common… They started. They took...

Little Wins 🌱 The Beginning It Was Right in Front of My Nose. For a long time, I thought I was building a community around dinners. This week, I realized I was building something much bigger. I’ve been talking about little wins all along. The conversations. The first steps. The follow-ups. The moments we rarely stop to appreciate. That’s what this newsletter is about. A place to slow down once a week and recognize the progress that’s already happening in our lives. Because every meaningful...
