Interview Takeaways:
Be the Show, Not the Commercial – This saying has been a pillar for Shawn and Cali BBQ Media. The thought process is to create compelling stories over simply selling products. He contests, “No one wants to be advertised to all the time.”
The Reaction Business: “Showing vs. Telling” – On Restaurant Influencers, a Cali BBQ Media show hosted by Entrepreneur Magazine, Shawn had industry titan, Jon Taffer, remind the audience that hospitality is a “reaction business”. Meaning, the key to success is creating content and experiences that causes people to react positively.
The Courage to Look Stupid – Shawn is all about posting consistently. Every day, in fact. He believes that the only way to get better is to stay active. Quite literally, the more, the better because it is live practice.
