Let me be blunt.
I absolutely hate lunch meetings.
The whole “power lunch” idea is a myth. It sounds productive. It feels important. It’s neither. It’s distracted, inefficient, and it kills real momentum. I’m not here to casually discuss your business over appetizers. I’m here to help you build something massive.
And you don’t build massive while chewing.
Here’s why your “let’s grab a bite” invite gets declined:
Momentum dies in restaurants.
Right when we’re breaking through something meaningful, a server interrupts. The flow is gone. Strategy doesn’t live in fragments.
You can’t operate at a high level while multitasking.
If I’m explaining a complex growth plan, my food is getting cold. If I’m eating, I’m not fully engaged. I don’t split attention when we’re talking about real money and real scale. Can I multi-task? Sure. Do I feel like giving you my attention is the most important thing if you have asked me to join you in discussing your business and life goals…yes I feel like that is more important than trying to be a multi-task hero.
I don’t waste energy on nonsense.
Menus. Noise. The awkward check dance at the end. None of that builds your company.
I don’t do distracted. I do focused.
If you want my time and my best thinking, do it the right way.
Come have a cigar with me or make the meeting intentional and focused.
It’s no secret I own a cigar bar coming Spring 2026. That’s intentional. A cigar forces you to slow down. To think. To actually talk. No cold steak. No interruptions. No performance. Just high-level strategy and real decisions.
Lunch is for eating.
Cigars are for building empires.
