Description

Most people don’t make it out of nightlife. Jamey Shirah didn’t just make it out—he turned the lessons from late nights and crowded bars into a powerhouse hospitality group that’s redefining what Southern restaurants can be.

As the founder of Revival Restaurant Group, Jamey shares how he navigated the leap from nightlife to high-end dining, what he got wrong in the early days, and the mindset shifts that allowed him to scale with intention. We get into the brand architecture behind concepts like Luella and Little Betty, the systems he uses to replicate culture across locations, and how he built a leadership team that makes bold moves possible.

This one’s for every operator ready to evolve without losing the edge that made them great.
