The best way to understand a business? Be in it. Really be in it. Recently, I spent a late night—until 3 AM—at our Velvet Taco in the Domain Austin, working alongside the team. What I saw wasn’t just hard work; it was teamwork at its finest. The kitchen was firing on all cylinders, the front-of-house team was locked in, and everyone was moving with purpose. No job was too small, no role was more important than another. It was a masterclass in Standing Together to deliver an unforgettable experience. Thank you to our GM Ben and he rest of the Tribe for allowing me to hang out for the night, work the register, talk to guests and clean some tables. As CEO, I believe leadership isn’t about sitting in an office making decisions in isolation. It’s about being in the trenches, seeing firsthand what our teams go through, and making sure they have what they need to succeed. Culture isn’t just built in boardrooms—it’s built in moments like these, where passion, hustle, and teamwork come together. I’m incredibly grateful for every Tribe member who shows up day and night to make Velvet Taco what it is. Your hard work, dedication, and teamwork do not go unnoticed. You are the reason we continue to grow and push the boundaries of what’s possible. From the bottom of my heart—thank you. Walking out at 3 AM, I wasn’t just proud—I was inspired. This is what makes Velvet Taco special. #Leadership #StandTogether #KickAssAndTakeNames #LateNightLessons
