Stuttering Your Way To Success with Erik Weir Ep. 16 Carl Sobocinski

America is in love with the dining experience. We have entire networks dedicated to the stories of great chefs and their restaurants. From home town diners to Michelin star boutiques, we are a culture obsessed with food. We love to eat food, watch it being prepared, study the service industry, and, of course, consume it in all of its delectable and diverse glory.

But what about the dreamers behind the scenes who dedicate decades to building unique, world-class dining experiences? Take a deep dive with me now on this week’s episode of “Stuttering Your Way to Success” as I introduce you to the man behind a Restaurant Empire in Greenville, South Carolina. Meet my friend, Carl Sobocinski, a chef and restaurateur with a twenty year legacy for bringing the best dining experiences to South Carolina.

As president and founder of Table 301, Carl has spearheaded the company’s growth and development which now includes 10 signature restaurants in its portfolio: Soby’s New South Cuisine, The Lazy Goat, Nose Dive Gastropub, Passerelle Bistro, Highway 301 Food Truck, Southern Pressed Juicery, and Table 301 Catering & Kitchen.

A native of Durham, New Hampshire, Carl made his way to South Carolina and Clemson University where he pursued an architectural degree. Following his graduation, Carl quickly realized that his true passion aligned more with the hospitality industry and community service than architecture and design. In the mid-90s, he took a leap of faith and opened his first restaurant called The 858 in Greenville. Soby’s New South Cuisine followed in 1997. The rest is history.

He’s not the new kid on the block when it comes to building better cities. Knox White has been the mayor of my home town of Greenville, South Carolina for longer than any other mayor in its history - 27 years! Under his leadership, the city has been transformed into one of America’s rising destination cities. We have worked together on community projects, and I have come to respect the profound impact that mayors like Knox White have on producing a better quality of life for families. He is also the  author of Reimagining Greenville, where he shares the vision for "building the best downtown in America." I sat down with Knox, and we discussed life as mayor of an important growing destination city, the architectural plans of Michelangelo, and a host of subjects I believe you will find interesting.

"We strive to be an opportunity city. We strive to make it that way for everyone."

The Navy SEALs creates teams of men with a unique closeness, loyalty and friendship not found anywhere else on earth, explains Thom Shea, author of Unbreakable.

“One of the greatest things I’ve learned with Hasker is that when you’re giving of yourself to helping others, you have a lot more joy in your life. And the pain you may be experiencing can be quickly offset because you’re helping somebody else.” ~ Erik Weir 

I have known Robert Donovan for three years now, and he’s a truly inspiring man. Robert has guarded embassies, funded marketing companies, and provided some incredible ideas to improve Greenville, the city in South Carolina where we both live. Today he shares the key lessons he has learned in the military to be successful in business, why he sees emotional intelligence as an area of opportunity, the obstacles he has overcome, and the wisdom that comes from listening to the elderly. This episode will help you see that you can be an odd duck, an outsider, start from absolutely NOTHING and go faster and further than you ever imagined.

“If you have a heartbeat, you are special. You matter. God put you on this planet for a reason. And don’t stop searching until you find out what that reason is for you, not for anybody else.”
