Harley DeMyers is a hospitality leader who has spent over two decades working inside some of the most demanding, high-profile restaurant and nightlife groups in the country. Naturally introverted, Harley learned early on how to create a professional “character” to survive and succeed in an industry built on energy, performance, and presence. From studying engineering to managing teams and guest experiences at scale, his career has been shaped by living between two worlds.

In this episode, expect to learn how Harley transitioned from engineering into hospitality, why playing a character at work can be both a strength and a cost, what truly separates great service from forgettable service, how culture and leadership are built, the role that sobriety has played in Harley’s life, and why humility, curiosity, and being comfortable with “not knowing” are essential traits for long-term success in the hospitality and service industry.

Jorge is a graphic designer and sandal craftsman who has revived an ancient Mesoamerican footwear technology through his brand, Mazatli Footwear. After a "Eureka moment" on the 101 freeway, Jorge went on a mission to research, patent, and hand-make sandals based on a 2,000-year-old Aztec and Mayan design. Today, his patented double-toe-post sandals are used by elite ultra-marathon runners and outdoor enthusiasts to reclaim foot strength, stability, and a deeper connection to the earth.

In this episode expect to learn how Jorge used "reverse engineering" and went undercover to learn the secrets of the world’s top footwear brands, the significance of the double-toe-post design found in ancient Mesoamerican artifacts, the importance of sourcing elite materials like Vibram for high-performance hiking, and why hand-craftsmanship and cultural heritage create a product that people will wait months and pay premium prices for.
