On November 14th, the Masters of Scale podcast is kicking off a new series of live events aimed at delivering critical insights from some of the most successful business leaders working today. Presented by Capital One Business, this sold-out live podcast experience will be hosted at the Greene Space in New York City and feature guest Danny Meyer, best known for his hit ventures Union Square Cafe, Eleven Madison Park, Shake Shack and the diverse portfolio of restaurants that make up the Union Square Hospitality Group.
More than any other industry, the restaurant business is rife with unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to scale. Whether you work exclusively in the fast-casual sector or specialize in fine dining, the growth potential of your business is directly tied to the quality and impact of the guest experience. Over his decades as a leader in hospitality, Meyer has revolutionized and reshaped what it means to deliver exceptional service at any price point. He additionally led the growth of Shake Shack from a handful of line-out-the-door locations in New York City to a global phenomenon — all without a single sacrifice in quality.
Attendees to Masters of Scale Live should expect to walk away with actionable lessons rooted in Meyer’s story, which are sure to spark inspiration in their own businesses and personal scale journeys. Open drinks and dynamic visual displays are set to elevate the conversation between Meyer and host Jeff Berman, giving the impression that the audience is not at a live podcast recording but rather the opening night at one of Meyer’s buzzy New York eateries.
A one-of-a-kind live event, Masters of Scale Live presented by Capital One Business is gearing up to deliver similarly immersive and exclusive experiences in major cities across the United States. Restaurant owners, business leaders and entrepreneurs of all kinds seeking creative and strategic inspiration should take note.
For those unfamiliar with Masters of Scale, this is far from their first foray into the thrilling and tumultuous world of the restaurant industry. The podcast previously featured Sweetgreen founders Jonathan Neman, Nathaniel Ru and Nicolas Jammet, who shared their unique approach to breaking into new markets and took listeners inside the company’s decision to go public. Celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson appeared on Masters of Scale earlier this year to speak with founding host Reid Hoffman about his journey as an entrepreneur who values the rich diversity of the culinary world.
Danny Meyer himself appeared on the podcast all the way back in 2018 and most recently made an appearance on their sister show Rapid Response to discuss his thoughts on tipping norms and the inevitable impact of AI on the hospitality industry.
With a focus on hard-won lessons from the lived experience of the most successful executives and entrepreneurs, each episode of Masters of Scale contains valuable takeaways for any business leader, regardless of industry.
Given the caliber of guests and conversation, it’s no surprise that the inaugural November 14th event in New York City is completely sold out. Luckily, this is only the first of many Masters of Scale Live events to come.
