What inspired y'all to start the Bon Vivant’s Run Club and how has it impacted the Bay Area hospitality community?

Josh and I were both runners and since we already were running together, we thought to ourselves, “well how hard can it be to start a run club?” The first few months maybe a couple people would show up, so now to see the big turnouts just gets us super stoked.

As far as the impact, we hope it’s been positive. We definitely have a ton of runners in the industry reaching out to us across the country (and world!) which is always so fun to get connected with other runners.

How do you maintain balance between your roles as the general manager of a wildly popular bar and beverage director for a massive hospitality group?

Building a solid team around me. We believe in the development process of everyone that is a part of our company and firmly believe it is a key component to continue expansion. When I have to focus on certain aspects of one side of the business or another, I have the rest of our team I can lean on.
