This week, Ira spoke with Michael Politz, Publisher, CEO, and Founder of Food & Beverage Magazine. In this periodical episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Michael talks about his early entrepreneurial days, starting as a kid selling cards; why he decided to go into publishing and specifically cover the food and beverage industry; his decision to take the magazine into the digital world; what surprised him when hemoved to Las Vegas; how influential people (including Robin Leach) guided him in the early days of the magazine; how COVID forced restaurants to be creative and why his publication gained readers at the same time; and what his new project entails for foodies and chefs alike.
