Ep 293 | John Likes The Cheesecake Factory

  • Summary

  • Amer and John discussed their personal experiences and strategies for maintaining healthy relationships. John shared his experiences with his partner, Trisha, highlighting the importance of open communication, setting boundaries, and addressing unworkable situations. He emphasized the need for both partners to be self-aware and willing to make adjustments for the relationship to thrive. John also mentioned the importance of having a balance of positive and negative interactions in a relationship. The conversation ended with a discussion on the different attachment styles and how they can impact relationships.

    John discussed his recent exposure to a podcast featuring a real estate agent turned investor, Meet Kevin, who has a high energy and different approach to investing. John found it fascinating to learn about a different perspective on luxury cars and their value, as explained by Ed Bolin, a former Lamborghini salesperson. Ed's approach to investing in cars is similar to a value investor's approach to stocks. John also mentioned a video of a Ferrari being driven into a body of water, which he found interesting as it affects the car's future value. The group also discussed the Ferrari's ban on certain individuals, including Tyga, due to their actions. John concluded by appreciating the long-form podcast format, which allows him to learn about different perspectives and approaches to investing, even if he wouldn't typically consume the content in a video format.

    In the meeting, John shared his recent trip to Waikiki, Hawaii, where he stayed in an Airbnb and enjoyed the local food and attractions. He also discussed his interest in analyzing business revenue, using the Cheesecake Factory as an example. He estimated that the store could be grossing over $100 million in revenue, based on its size and customer traffic. John also mentioned his habit of playing an over-under game with his wife, Trisha, where they try to guess the number of staff working at a given time. The conversation ended with John sharing that the Cheesecake Factory in Waikiki was the second largest in the world by revenue and square footage.

    John, Austin, and Amer discuss the revenue and operations of the Cheesecake Factory location in Honolulu, Hawaii. They estimate the store generates around $50 million in annual revenue based on its square footage of 14,000 interior square feet and high sales per square foot compared to the chain's average. John calculates the labor costs alone could be over $12 million per year given Hawaii's high minimum wage. They conclude this single location likely operates as a multi-million dollar company with multiple managers overseeing its massive sales volume driven by tourists and locals alike.


    Austin, John, and Amer discussed their experiences with Chat GPT and Google Calendar. Austin and Amer shared their methods of using Chat GPT, including uploading documents and using the voice feature to ask questions. John expressed his appreciation for Chat GPT's ability to provide large chunks of data quickly, but noted that it could be limited by processing power. They also discussed the potential benefits of using the paid version of Chat GPT, which allows for more document uploads and processing power. The team also discussed the usefulness of Google Calendar for scheduling and the potential benefits of using Calendly for scheduling meetings. Towards the end of the meeting, Amer and Austin had to leave for other obligations, but expressed their appreciation for the meeting and looked forward to the next one.
