Michael Simkins stopped by the pod with a bottle of E11EVEN Vodka in hand, and let’s just say—cocktails were poured, stories were shared, and the energy was very Miami.
We talked about growing up in Miami Beach, his detour to Brooklyn Law, and his early days at Akerman before jumping into real estate with small deals around town. It wasn’t long before Michael set his sights on Overtown and Park West, quietly assembling land and betting big on neighborhoods others overlooked.
Then came the game-changer: acquiring the former Gold Rush strip club and transforming it into what’s now the globally recognized E11EVEN nightclub—an ultra club that’s as Miami as it gets. And he’s not stopping there—the brand is now making moves into the hotel-condo world.
A wild ride from spreadsheets to strobe lights—this one’s not to be missed.
