Digital Hospitality is more than just a new podcast for restaurant owner Shawn Walchef — it's a way of life.Since 2008, Shawn has owned Cali Comfort BBQ in East San Diego County. In order to survive, Shawn knew early on to operate his family restaurant and sports bar like a media company. Whether it's his annual #BETonBBQ Turf and Surf tasting event in August, or his expanding catering empire in San Diego, Shawn's many business ventures all incorporate technology, especially the kind you use everyday on their cell phone.That's how he discovered podcasting. Since Shawn first started a business and BBQ-themed podcast almost three years ago, he's watched podcasting grow, with many shows popping up that he's helped inspire. Shawn said he's proud to have had a part in getting so many fellow BBQ business owners into podcasting."A rising tide lifts all ships," Shawn said.On his Digital Hospitality podcast, Shawn guides viewers and listeners through an ever-evolving digital world to help fellow restaurant and business owners adapt and succeed. No topic is off-limits.Shawn and his guests get personal and truthful about what it takes to truly thrive in business, sharing advice about social media, blogs, and other digital tips and tricks. The show also explores topics that aren't usually discussed on a business podcast like health and wellness."Location, location, location is no longer enough to succeed in business. Digital, digital, digital is the only way that small businesses can differentiate themselves over the next decade."
