My guests this week on The Restaurant Prosperity Formula podcast are two restaurant owners who've turned their business around and found their definition of success. Angie and Doug Brown, owners of The Cove Restaurant and Peninsula Golf Course in Long Beach, Washington, came from Big Tech careers. They both worked at Microsoft, spent time raising a family and then looking toward retirement, followed Doug's passion for golf and purchased a golf course and restaurant back in 2007. Their goal was to travel and enjoy retirement. Little did they know the learning curve they had in store for them! Let me just say that these two entrepreneurs really kicked butt when it came to systems but more importantly, they learned how to communicate with their team so they could take ownership of everything that needs to be done in the restaurant. Angie, Doug and I do our best to show every restaurant owner looking for change and freedom what the journey can look.

In this special “Flipping the Table” episode of my podcast, “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula,” Jonathan and Brianna Cowan, multi-unit restaurant operators, take control, turning the tables on me for an insightful interview. Here's a glimpse of our conversation, full of takeaways on leadership, persistence, and what it takes to thrive in the restaurant industry. I’ve known the Cowans for going on 15 years, and I’ve seen their transformation into prosperity firsthand. They own a 65-seat restaurant and cater around 100 weddings per year, offering a full suite of services from rentals to food to bar service. They’re currently building out a 12,000 square foot space with a restaurant on the main level and a wedding venue on the second floor. They’re documenting the process on their YouTube channel, Wooden Paddle. They also have a podcast, which they named based on something favorite restaurant coach says, “The Ready Fire Aim Podcast.”
