Ep.130 - Did the Draft Deliver?

About this episode

The episode discusses the aftermath of a major event in Pittsburgh and its impact on local businesses, highlighting the disconnect between hype and actual revenue.

Pittsburgh showed up, the crowds were massive, and the spotlight was brighter than ever. But once the dust settled, a bigger question remained… did it actually pay off? The guys break down the reality behind the hype, from empty restaurants and overpriced Airbnbs to businesses that expected a boom and got burned instead. They get into why big events don’t always translate to real revenue, how pricing and perception can backfire, and what business owners should actually take away from it. Along the way, it’s classic Between 2 Bridges, everyday frustrations, slow-moving people, shrinking honey buns, and the little things that somehow say a lot about how business really works.
