Building a Better Business With AI
THE PODCVST by MVTT BLVC
Rising rent, rising costs, and restaurants closing their doors. In this episode, host Matt Black argues that closing isn’t the only option and that adapting is. He lays out how restaurants and small businesses can survive by rethinking what they offer: brokering deals with AI companies, offering generative AI credits to customers, adding free Wi-Fi, and replacing typical furniture with wireless charging bars and tables to become a true “third place.” He also gets into creative, attention-grabbing marketing and why every owner should know their numbers before deciding to shut down.
The conversation then widens to Los Angeles and the future of the city, including free autonomous buses, affordable housing, rebuilding the Palisades, and cleaning up downtown, plus a personal look at going back to school and rebuilding after loss.
