Randy Clement is the co-founder of Silver Lake Wine, Everson Royce, and Highland Park Wine — a hospitality visionary who helped shape Los Angeles’ modern food and beverage scene. For Randy, business has always been about more than wine: it’s about creating spaces where people feel welcome, connected, and part of something larger than themselves.
In this conversation, Randy shares the story of moving to LA at 19 with his wife, building Silver Lake Wine on the ethos of independence and joy, and navigating the evolution of the neighborhood’s creative culture. We explore his entrepreneurial spirit, his paradoxical approach to ideas, and his belief that momentum — when it arrives — should be chased with everything you’ve got.
Randy also opens up about his relationship to movement: from baseball and bike rides to transcendental swimming and the flow state he now finds in running. Along the way, he reflects on parenting, community resilience after the Altadena fires, and his new project, the Altadena Foothillers run club. This is a wide-ranging, free-flowing conversation about business, creativity, and the power of simply showing up.
