Listen "Turning $6,000 into a Multi-Billion Dollar Empire (And Almost Losing It All)"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode, I sit down with Tilman Fertitta, the owner of the Houston Rockets, Golden Nugget Casinos, and Landry’s. Tilman shares how his businesses—spanning restaurants, hospitality, and professional sports—were uniquely challenged during the pandemic and the tough decisions he made to navigate those uncertain times. He reflects on the importance of resilience, making calculated decisions, and maintaining a strong mindset when everything seems to be falling apart. We discuss his hands-on approach, how he prioritizes leadership and culture, and the lessons he's learned from decades of deal-making. Tilman’s humility, work ethic, and focus on empowering others offer insights for anyone seeking to succeed under pressure.
