From Club Promoter to 20+ Franchise Locations | Bernardo Baxter

Bernardo Baxter was 18 years old when he stood by the door of a club he'd packed out and watched the owner pocket $5,000 off his crowd while he walked away with $500. That moment changed everything. In this episode, Bernardo sits down with Allan and Andrew to walk through the full blueprint, from throwing college parties at UTSA and saving $70K, to launching a food truck, opening his first wing restaurant, and building SipIT and WingIT into 20+ locations across Texas and into Dallas. He also gets into what it actually takes to get there: the capital, the character, the right people around you, and knowing when to stop taking every meeting. If you're trying to build something real, this one is worth the full watch.
