This is how leadership skills crafted in a bustling restaurant can seamlessly transfer into the real estate industry.
Our guest, Nick Papantonakis, has done exactly that. After spending over a decade climbing the ranks at Snooze AM Eatery, Nick now takes his proven leadership acumen into a whole new realm, real estate.
Hear him recount his journey from a 16-year-old looking for a job to a leadership junkie, shaping future leaders and his recent transition to the real estate industry.
We also delve into the contentious debate about the role of education in the restaurant business. Drawing from personal experiences and contrasting perspectives, we navigate the shifting tides of opinions on college degrees in the hospitality industry.
From appreciating the undeniable value of hands-on experience and emotional intelligence to questioning the relevance of higher education, we dissect it all. Listen in to hear his story as a PhD dropout and the myriad reasons why one might decide to pursue higher education.
Finally, we shift gears to listen to a riveting tale of a restaurant manager who was dealt a career-defining ultimatum. Discover how he regained his footing with a change of scene and a new leadership position. His journey poses a stark reminder of the challenges of balancing work with family life, especially under the current pandemic scenario.
Wrapping up, we engage with Nick Papantonakis co-host of the podcast, "Brewskies, and House Keys", discussing his journey from education to real estate and the critical role of mentorship in the industry.
