When you are working with a variety of different personalities such as designers, architects, engineers, builders and of course, family, it’s essential to remember that everyone is working toward the same goal: we all want to build a restaurant that is amazing! When challenges arise, as they inevitably do, I make it a priority to maintain a positive attitude. It’s a commitment that empowers everyone on my team to lose their fear of failure and see every experience as an opportunity to learn.
