About this listen
79% of consumers say they want brands to create real connections, not just transactions (Edelman Trust Barometer, 2024).
Community isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a growth strategy.
In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we’re joined by Jonathan Weathington, CEO of Shuckin Shack Oyster Bar. Since 2014, Jonathan has led the company from a single coastal location to a nationally recognized brand featured in The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Good Morning America.
Known for his no-nonsense approach, Jonathan has made Shuckin Shack a model for how hospitality and community can scale side by side.
🎙️ Hosted by Tullio Siragusa and Mike Liwski
🎧 Produced by Tullio Siragusa
🧭 In this episode, we explore:
• Why community must be more than marketing to create real business growth
• How systems and culture can scale connection across multiple locations
• The deeper purpose driving Shuckin Shack’s expansion
• Why empathy and compassion are as essential to leadership as strategy
🎧 Whether you’re in hospitality, franchising, or any industry built on trust, this episode will show you how community can be your strongest competitive edge.
