In this episode of Business is War, Elliott Forman sits down with Christopher Prasad, widely known as the “Hospitality King of New Orleans.” Christopher breaks down the trade secrets behind building a hospitality empire in less than a decade—how he identified winning concepts, secured premium locations, and scaled operations in the most competitive real estate corridors across the New Orleans metro.

From launching a recycling business to becoming a hospitality juggernaut, Christopher walks through the mindset shifts, deal structures, hiring standards, and execution systems that powered his rise—plus the mistakes he’d avoid if he were starting again today. If you want the real playbook on growth, location strategy, and operational discipline in hospitality, this is the one.
