About this listen
In this episode, we sit down with John Mikulec, founder and CEO of Gameday Hospitality, to unpack his journey from building cornhole boards in his parents’ garage to leading one of the most innovative tailgate production companies in the country. John walks us through how he bootstrapped multiple businesses, including Tailgate Giant and Man Cave Giant, before launching Gameday Hospitality—now managing over 240 events a year across the U.S.
John also opens up about the future of Buffalo’s tailgating scene with the new stadium, the challenges of dealing with entitled customers, and how Buffalo’s blue-collar passion compares to other sports cities. It’s a gritty, detailed, and real conversation on entrepreneurship, sports culture, and scaling experience-driven businesses.
