My guest today is Sean Feeney. Sean is the Co-Founder of Grovehouse Hospitality Group and the owner of Lilia and Misi, two of New York City's most sought-after restaurants. He left his job in trading to chase down a dream with Michelin star chef Missy Robbins. Sean leveraged his finance background. He was actually introduced to me through past guest, Scott Goodwin, to write his own rulebook for the restaurant industry, crafting several establishments that now boast several thousand people on the waitlist on any given night. His story is as entertaining as it is inspiring.
As we go step-by-step through his business endeavors, he points out all the times he was told it's just always been done this way and how that revealed to him where he could innovate. Sean's restaurants are the perfect example of building a business into the fabric of a community, collaborating with other brands in authentic ways, and staying true to oneself along the way. Please enjoy this awesome conversation with Sean Feeney.
