Restaurateur Couple Shares How They Went from Hobbyists to Entrepreneurs

In this episode of The Restaurant Prosperity Formula podcast, host David Scott Peters talks with Brianna and Jonathan Cowan, owners of The Wooden Paddle in Lemont, Illinois. I first met them at the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Show over a decade ago, and they made a decision to get on an airplane a week later to attend one of my four day workshops in Las Vegas. At that time, their business really needed to grow. Fast forward to March 2020 when we reconnected at Catersource, days before COVID-19 business restrictions shut down their dining room and catering events. Listen in on our conversation as they share with us their incredible journey of taking their passion for hospitality and turning it into a thriving business.
