He Started a Restaurant With Zero Experience Because He Felt God Told Him To | Chris Gothart

About this episode

Chris Gothart shares his journey of starting a restaurant with no prior experience, driven by faith and personal challenges.

A true serial entrepreneur, Chris Gothart has built a construction business (Gothart Homes) a property management company (Gothart Property Management) with his wife and flipped more houses than he can count. THEN he and his wife felt called to open a restaurant — with no restaurant background whatsoever. What followed was one of the hardest seasons of their lives, and a beautiful new restaurant—Mo' Bay Beignet Co. in Harvest, AL. In this episode, Chris opens up about: ∙ The night he stood alone in an unfinished house and couldn’t take anymore — and what showed up at the window ∙ The moment holding his newborn daughter taught him something about God he’d never understood ∙ Why he says he was “a dark shell of a man” while everyone told him he was killing it ∙ What his wife pushed him to do that he absolutely did not want to — and how it changed everything ∙ The one discipline that completely rewired his home, his marriage, and his business ∙ The Wednesday night confirmation that came out of nowhere and sent them “guns ablazing”Whether you’re a person of faith or not — the way this man talks about risk, calling, family and knowing when to keep going will make you think.
