She got hit.
HARD.

2020 didn’t just rattle Lisa Gasparian.
It tried to wipe her off the map.

When COVID strangled foot traffic in downtown Chicago, and looters ravaged her café during the riots, her small café was left gutted—physically and emotionally. Most would have folded.

But Lisa?

Lisa got F*CKING RELENTLESS.

She joined the TRC Method when the world was burning—and we got to work rebuilding her mindset, her brand, and her future from the ground up. Fast forward to today, and Café Cremerie isn’t just back.

She’s DOMINATING the Chicago café scene.
She’s building a brand that people line up for.
And now?
She’s not just ready for Chicago—she’s ready for the WORLD.

In this episode of The Restaurant Coach Podcast, I sit down with Lisa to talk about:

How to rebuild from NOTHING but belief and grit

Why branding saved her business—and how you can use the same process

The realities of being a female restaurant owner in a male-dominated space

The power of choosing COMMITMENT over COMFORT

Her story isn’t just inspiring—it’s your wake-up call.

Because if Lisa can rise from literal rubble to restaurant royalty—what’s your excuse for staying stuck?
