In this episode we break down the real pros and cons of bar ownership — from startup costs and licensing to staffing and daily operations. This episode offers an honest look at the challenges and rewards of running a bar as an entrepreneur.

In our very first episode of Sweat Equity, we’re taking it back to the beginning. Meet the team behind the mic — a group of friends, entrepreneurs, and dreamers who built something out of late nights, big ideas, and a lot of laughs. We share how we all met, the crazy stories that led us here, and the moment the idea for this podcast came to life. It’s raw, real, and a perfect intro to who we are and what Sweat Equity is all about.
