"If you gave back more than you took from it (life), that is success. Provide more than you take. Whatever that means to you!" Mike K.
Social hall founder and owner, Mike Kenney, leads us through many wonderful truths about what success has looked like for him throughout his 37 years of life as an entrepreneur in the restaurant industry. I met Mike at another one of his restaurants in Seattle and since then, he has expanded and moved down to Arizona to open another INCREDIBLE place.
In this episode we dive into:
- Mike's recent recovery from an infection in his digestive track
- his success in building a kick ass team at Social Hall- post pandemic
- the idea that we aren't going to be wildly successful in every single category of our lives, and being okay with that
- the sacrifices he has had to make with creating and owning a restaurant and bar
- the different dynamics of being 37 and not yet being married or having kids (remembering- everyone's path looks VERY different)
- Social Hall- located in Tempe, is a restaurant everyone should check out. They have great food, great cocktails, very different spaces!
- Relationship success = making your partner feel seen and feeling seen yourself.
- Family success= unconditional support and love "you might be stupid but I'm gonna come and bail you out" type of love
- THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING THAT WHEN WE EAT- WE ARE FEEDING AN ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM OF GOOD BACTERIA OR BAD BACTERIA. So choose wisely.
- his morning gratitude practice and how it has helped him
Thank you SO much Mike for sharing so many wonderful definitions and moments from your life for us to learn and grow for. We appreciate you deeply.
