In this episode, I am joined by the chillest guy in Toronto Mr. Leebs (Liben Bihon or @libenator on IG ) who is the general manager and part-owner of Susies Toronto! Leebs started his service industry experience as a barback at Cactus Club in Vancouver and through a lot of time, hard work and passion, has opened up Susies diner with some of his closest and oldest friends. We talk about doing what you love and loving what you do, the beauty of going into business with your best friends, the trap of the service industry, Emily's unfortunate highschool experiences, the Cactus Club cult, the restaurant hierarchy, paddle-boarding, being the best version of ourselves for our guests, the un-sexy sides of a restaurant, being beaten down as a barback and network in nightlife. We hope you enjoy (and ignore the bad mic quality hehe)!
