Curious as to what I am investing in or how my current investments are doing?

I tell you all of it here:

@RANGER0014X Not yet. Tough to tie in age, with the exception of in a general way, to the ordering. But we've seen that once people use the app about 25% of people come back and order 2 or 3 more times. Which is encouraging.

Let me ask you question.

Saturday night, crowded bar of 300 people.
8 bartenders on and you're in the middle of the dance floor.
Wouldn't it be lovely to not have to fight the crowd and then also fight for the bartenders attention to get a drink?

[Pat Light @Pat_Light]

@RANGER0014X Not if I keep up this current success rate of getting customers to do this

[Pat Light @Pat_Light]

@ColeyMick @KeithRWFleming Listen, it's fair. Just couldn't make the move at the time.

[Pat Light @Pat_Light]

I wonder what 2016 Pat would have thought if someone told him that you will one day write newsletters on booking birthday parties at your bars...

@KeithRWFleming @ColeyMick Pretty upset about it actually.

The problem with this video is it took me 11:17 to nail down exactly why Cracker Barrel screwed up with the rebrand.

I will NEVER DM someone on LinkedIn again.

I will, however, make TikTok's about my frustration many more times.

You know I never thought that I'd be spending mornings figuring out the difference between "Exact Match" and "Phrase Match" on Google Ads, but I mean I'm trying to find more party leads and I got Google showing my ad for Jet Ski Rentals...

Going to be an awesome event!

@varunv_malhotra @chamath Of course. I now have 6 places, 3 with leverage and 3 with none. Balance and calculated risks are everything.

[Pat Light @Pat_Light]

@varunv_malhotra @chamath Especially when things are going well. I've done a couple restaurants (talk about risky) with leverage but calculated. Sales would have had to drop 80% before I could default. The temptation is always out there to do something you shouldn't though.

[Pat Light @Pat_Light]

@varunv_malhotra @chamath Leverage has helped me grow quite a bit but it's like the devil on your shoulder just telling you to lever more and more because nothing bad will happen.

Staying prudent can be tricky but if you can do it, it's a fabulous way to expand.

[Pat Light @Pat_Light]

Paying for this whole damn thing is a real pain in the ass. I talk about that here: https://t.co/EzmjYA2mUh

The average Golf Outing sign is $150.

Our sign is $1,500.

Average Golf Outing attendance is 100 people.

Our event 100,000 people.

10x the price for 1000x the exposure.

Solid numbers.

[Pat Light @Pat_Light]

@mattbarnesRHP It’s going to be such a cool event

[Pat Light @Pat_Light]

This is the vision.

We’re bringing a waterfront stage to life, overlooking Manhattan.

100,000+ people.

It will be the biggest event of the year.

Can't believe I'm the guy that gets to bring it to life.
