Vacation Ventures 004. Becoming Unreasonably Hospitable with Charlie Eich (Success Unlocked Season 1)

Welcome back to Success Unlocked, where our hosting business master membership coaches discuss operations, social media, unique builds, co-hosting strategies, and so much more. This week’s episode is Vacation Ventures, hosted by Michael Hicks.

Micheal chats with his friend and business partner, Charlie Eich, a restaurant owner and hospitality guru out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. They met four years ago as Mike sat down to eat in one of six restaurants he’s owned over the years.

In this episode, they chat about crossover qualities in what it takes to be successful in both the food service industry and the vacation rental industry – telling the legendary tale of Cheeburger Cheeburger, exchanging tips for top-shelf customer service and experience building, and looking ahead at their shared future in the pizza business.
