Kevin Boehm: He Built 46 Restaurants - Then He Had To Do the Real Work (S12/Ep.07)


Listen Later

Kevin Boehm is the Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Boka Restaurant Group, which has opened more than 46 restaurants over the past 30 years. In this episode, Kevin opens up about the journey behind his deeply personal new memoir, The Bottomless Cup - a story rooted in resilience, identity, and the pursuit of authenticity. We discuss his path from growing up in Springfield, IL, to living in his car in Florida, to co-building one of the most respected restaurant groups in the country - all while exploring how his definition of success has evolved. Kevin shares lessons from decades in hospitality and how purpose, people, and self-compassion guide his life and leadership. He also reflects on the importance of giving back, including his work with organizations like the Hope Institute, 826CHI, and the Independent Restaurant Coalition (IRC). Enjoy this episode as we go Beyond the Plate… with Kevin Boehm.
