-: Well, you know, there are certain days where you're busy,
you know, we've got live music, it's loud, it's just,
you know, shoulder to shoulder, and being able to step back
and just not be needed for 10 seconds, and just be able
to enjoy it, you know, and that doesn't happen often,
you know, that doesn't happen, or I don't allow myself
to happen, but there are certain times where you
take a step back and you just watch things just in motion,
and you see those things happening, and you know,
and not taking those moments for granted, you know.
It's all that work, all that stuff you put into,
day in and day out, you get to enjoy it and see it happen,
right away, you know, and that's,
for me, that's what it's all about.
For me, it was taking a step back and not day to day,
having my hands dirty, so to speak, you know,
not going back there and making drinks every day,
or expoing, or serving, or you know,
having to sit behind the desk certain days,
and work the nine to five hours, you know,
and know that that's for the better of the company
and the better of everyone, but you know,
and kind of taking a step back and putting the trust into
somebody that you've hired, you know.
I think for us, it's you know, we've created our own brand,
we've created our own restaurant and our own concept,
so everything we did, we had the mindset
of this is how we want it done.
It wasn't, you know, a corporate-type chain
that we came in and bought, or took over,
it was, you know, trying to teach people how to
think the way you think, you know, that's tough.
Everybody has their way of doing things, and you know,
coming to a common ground with the people
that you put in place can be tough sometimes,
because you've built and put so much sweat into this thing,
but you know, meeting in the middle and teaching and
leading, and things like that, are the hardest part,
but at the end of the day, they're the most rewarding,
when you see it come to fruition, you see it happen,
you see it, you know, work together.
