In this Post Shift Shot, Shawn Soole tackles a tough but necessary truth: hard work and sacrifice still matter in hospitality — even in a world obsessed with shortcuts, instant success, and surface-level wins.

This isn’t about glorifying burnout. It’s about respecting the process. The long nights, the reps, the missed weekends, the uncomfortable growth — the things that still build skill, character, credibility, and trust behind the bar and beyond it.

• Why sacrifice isn’t outdated — it’s just misunderstood

• The difference between intentional hard work and toxic grind culture
