The Engagement Crisis Killing Wineries, Breweries & Distilleries (and How to Fix It) → https://youtu.be/xiyShLAbWS0

You've got a great product. Decent social presence. Maybe even some PR wins. But you're stuck sideways—not scaling up.

Brady and Gabriel reveal the exact ladder from ideation to market dominance. Most hospitality owners nail the foundation (the restaurant, the experience, the vibe). Then they go digital—website, Instagram, PR—and wonder why nothing converts.

The missing layer?

A capture system. Without it, you're collecting community but not customers. You're creating traffic with nowhere for it to go. Every big business has tracked customer data since day one. Target knew a teenager was pregnant before her dad did. Nordstrom turned personal books into millions. Tootsies could dominate BNA the same way they own Broadway.

This episode breaks down the five systems every hospitality brand needs: Traffic. Lead gen. Engagement. Nurture. Sales. If you're missing even one, you're leaving serious money on the table.

Stop planning one year at a time.

Brady and Gabriel break down why your annual plan is setting you up to fail and introduce the "Next 10" framework—a decade-long planning methodology that filters every decision through one question: Is this worth the next 10 years of my life?

You'll learn the 12-week year system, big rocks vs. little rocks prioritization, and why most hospitality owners are one shiny paycheck away from derailing their entire strategy.

Plus: The real reason your customers ghost you (and the compliment ladder framework that fixes it).

You nail the in-person experience. Guests walk in, you seat them, serve them, send them home happy.

There's a sequence for everything.

So why doesn't your digital presence have the same intentionality?

Brady and Gabriel break down the "mise en place" principle for social media. You can't execute engagement if you haven't planned the menu first. Most brands are opening the fridge and hoping for magic—instead of designing the experience, training the team, and following a repeatable sequence.

You're doing social media backwards. Most hospitality brands spend 80% of their time creating content and 20% engaging with their audience. Flip it.

Spend 80% of your time engaging with your Dream 100, leaving thoughtful comments, starting real conversations. The other 20%? Post "fortune cookie" sized content to your feed. Simple, authentic, valuable. No need to teach a masterclass in every reel.

Brady shares insights from his mastermind experience and why giving away 90% of your knowledge for free is the move. Gabriel breaks down the exact cadence: 3 stories a day, 2-14 feed posts per week, and 600 minutes engaging with your Dream 100.

Next episode: Why doing the right thing in the wrong order is actually the wrong thing. Strategy meets sequence.

You've got a website. You're posting on social. Maybe you're running some PR or ads. But your business still feels like a leaky bathtub. Money in, results out. Every month, the same grind.

Here's what nobody told you: you're missing the fourth horseman. Website, social media, and traffic are three legs of a stool. Without a CRM, you're building on sand instead of concrete. Brady breaks down why he spent $12,000/year on Salesforce when he was only managing $1M in sponsorships. And why he kept paying even when he wasn't using it actively.

Gabriel shares why even billion-dollar companies can't answer basic questions like "Which customers are worth 10x more?" or "What's our actual return on this campaign?" The reason? No proper CRM container to capture and organize the traffic they're paying for.

This episode reveals the Four Horsemen framework, why CRM is the engine that makes everything else work, and how to stop wasting 30-70% of your marketing budget on efforts that evaporate the moment they hit your business.

If you're spending money on marketing but can't tell which efforts actually drive revenue, this is your wake-up call.

Brady just got back from Vegas with some sobering news for the wine, beer, and spirits industry.

Consumption is down.

Gen Z isn't drinking like we did.

And that "lazy river" of foot traffic you've been relying on? It's about to dry up.

But here's the part nobody's talking about: while you're paying PR firms and social media managers thousands per month, 35-45% of your potential customers are floating right past your business.

They're not ready to buy today, but they will be.

The question is, will they remember you when that moment comes?

We break down the "boondoggle of the century" (how agencies have been selling you traffic without teaching you how to capture it), why DMs have an 80% open rate while your emails sit at 20%, and the exact engagement system that turns $600/month into predictable revenue growth.

Plus, we talk about the AI tsunami coming for hospitality businesses and why human connection is your only moat.

If you're a winery, brewery, distillery, or restaurant owner wondering why your PR and your marketing doesn't feel like it's working anymore (because it's not), this episode is your wake-up call.

You spend thousands on your website.

You pay for social media management.

But when someone actually reaches out?

Crickets.

In this episode, Brady and Gabriel expose the brutal truth: most hospitality brands are ghosting their best customers without even realizing it.

They introduce the Co-Pilot Model™… the alternative to DIY overwhelm, agency detachment, and coach overload.

You'll learn why staying in the driver's seat matters, how to use the "double compliment method" for engagement, and why your business should be treated exactly like a dating app (yes, really).

Plus: the Ghost Board challenge that reveals which major brands are actually responding to customers.

Whether you run a brewery, winery, restaurant, or event space, this episode will change how you think about every single customer touchpoint. Because how you do anything is how you do everything.

Most hospitality owners think their problem is marketing. It's not. It's that you're treating your business like your craft—pouring everything into the product while your acquisition system is held together with duct tape and prayer.

In this episode, Brady sits down with co-host Gabriel Ryan to unpack his journey from burned-out wedding photographer to scaling Strike Point Media to $25M, and why he built GrowthMap to help 500 service-based businesses stop leaving money on the table. Gabriel breaks down the 5 systems every restaurant, brewery, winery, and venue needs (spoiler: you're probably missing at least 3), why "my pleasure" took Chick-fil-A two years to nail, and what happens when you stop ghosting customers between visits. If your Thursday nights should be packed but aren't, this one's for you.
