What does 30+ years in the bar and restaurant industry teach you about business… and about life?
In this episode of The Icon Show, I sit down with David Grawe — founder of Frederick’s and The Pour House — to unpack the real story behind longevity in entrepreneurship.
We talk about:
• Growing up around business
• The hard lessons of the bar industry
• Reinventing during economic downturns
• Surviving COVID
• Diversifying income streams
• Learning from failure instead of fearing it
• The power of gratitude and surrender
This is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and community leadership.
If you’re building something long-term… this conversation is required listening.
