#132: Leadership Expert Shares Insights for Restaurant Owners
September 3, 2025 by David Scott Peters
If your restaurant feels like it’s running your life, this episode of “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula” podcast is for you. I invited leadership expert and author of “Watch Me Rise" Dr. Doug “Dr. Luff” Luffborough — who went from homelessness to Harvard and a career coaching leaders — to join me and talk straight to restaurant owners about why prosperity starts with leadership. We connect his story to the Restaurant Prosperity Formula I teach and focus on what you can expect to learn: how your personal life fuels your leadership, how your default style shapes results and how balanced teams create freedom and profit.
If you’re missing life events and managing constant crises in your restaurant, this conversation between me and Dr. Luff gives you a clear picture of what to focus on — and what you can expect to learn — to reclaim both profit and freedom.
