In this special “Flipping the Table” episode of my podcast, “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula,” Jonathan and Brianna Cowan, multi-unit restaurant operators, take control, turning the tables on me for an insightful interview. Here's a glimpse of our conversation, full of takeaways on leadership, persistence, and what it takes to thrive in the restaurant industry. I’ve known the Cowans for going on 15 years, and I’ve seen their transformation into prosperity firsthand. They own a 65-seat restaurant and cater around 100 weddings per year, offering a full suite of services from rentals to food to bar service. They’re currently building out a 12,000 square foot space with a restaurant on the main level and a wedding venue on the second floor. They’re documenting the process on their YouTube channel, Wooden Paddle. They also have a podcast, which they named based on something favorite restaurant coach says, “The Ready Fire Aim Podcast.”
