I like that he said he's not afraid to copy and he's not afraid of being copied. It shows that he understands that competition is a healthy thing.👏 great interview.

[@winnersmakenoexcuses2360]

It's not. I recommend you read 'From 0 to 1' from Peter Thiel.

[@mattdean207]

This is a SMART man!

[@my2cents838]

Well put. I love his attitude about change.

[@galianoazazdeazevedo5966]

I was just searching for an interview where I could really listen to Mr. Tilman, and this is easily one of them. Great interviewer !!!!

[@jeanalexandre1105]

The key words here do whatever it takes to keep up with innovation and to innovate yourself.

[@samialsati8054]

Love this guy honest and straight

[@petttrobb]

I always love listening to Tilman... he is such an amazing wealth of information but the title of this video is misleading. It should be something like 20 Random Questions with Tilman Fertitta

[@swahilimandela5610]

First time watching lovely man . competition is indeed a healthy thing.

[@bill6698]

Not bad questions....and great answers.

[@yurienaito6019]

Great questions leading to a great interview. Thank you for sharing.

good interview, nice pacing, covered a lot fo ground

[@ThelmaHarcum]

I saw your show last night with the very talented glassblower. I believe her work was worth what she wanted. You have so much money, why undercut her at all. It's not always about the price of production, but a rare talent is hard to find. Get her back on another show and sign her the hell up to do your restaurants. Her talent will upgrade your restaurants to even a higher level of class and wonder. People need the magic of" out of this world wonder experience" that is as great as a mixed drink that brings on the feelings of elation and calm. You can charge more for the food and drinks with that type of lighting display as it is the most beautiful lighting I have ever seen in this world. It looks like she can produce other products that will be breath-taking to the consumer that you can market and bring in big bucks. Her products could be placed in the hotel's or restaurant gift store section. I understand your philosophy in sales versus production, but I understand her philosophy as well. Do reconsider this rare gem of a person who is very creative in many ways.

[@stillakzo]

In business cost control and all that stuff is much more necassary than anything. You can find so many homeless talented people. At the end of the day talent doesn't pay the bills.

Love this guy!

[@ggrthemostgodless8713]

The interviewer is too strict on following his list of questions, his script. A lot of the questions needed more follow up. Thus the interview sounds and looks a bit jumpy.

[@anitaelghandor5489]

You remind me,of me when I was a kid,9 yrs old,selling pot holders,I had 10 people making them,still could not keep up,But learned alot,but grades fell,had to quit.

[@Russdlcz]

Awesome guy. Humble too

[@ziyandambobo8424]

Great question!

[@ggrthemostgodless8713]

"So I kind of rolled the dice on my gaming division, all at the same time..." LOL ---->> of course he would.

[@aphysique]

Morton's & The Chart house .. awesome food,!👌

[@charalampostsagarakis3254]

So what about now after the corona happend to all of his bussines? How did he manage it? That interview I would like to see..

[@northmelbourne9789]

can you do a video on whether smoking a joint through your nostrils has a better effect or a worse effect ?

[@vinayakkumar4050]

Northmelbourne the important question.

[@amonifinau4048]

Thank you!

[@ravindertalwar553]

Congratulations 👏 and all the best for your success and happiness ❤️

Seafood restaurant at an aquarium. What's next? Exotic meats at a zoo?

[@daxad]

nope, they will throw up right there. Probably setup cuisine based fast joints at different spots but don't open a full diner, you need to keep em moving around and yet not be tired by a heavy meal. Park cycles will attract kids to go back & forth b/w spots.

Hi KZbin I want you to show me more of this kind of content

[@Gitohandro]

Which show does he star in?

[@Surfscoolin]

What is "moridaba"? That sounds like what he says. Not sure what he means - it's in context with profit and saving off the bottom line.

[@aphysique]

Who or what is Landry's, never heard of them or that entity

[@atomiccigarco.atomiccigarc5208]

Esoteric Fitness one the best restaurant groups EVER!

[@mastanature8]

The interview questions are going all over the place. Like there's no flow. Must be so confusing for the person answering.

[@aphysique]

[@willjordan6921]

I have a billion dollar idea how do I reach your guest

[@themusicgaragetmg2330]

Just remember, he was already born on third base, yes there are good ideas here, but you've got to sieve through the bs, and I can assure you, there's lots of red herrings here

[@anitaelghandor5489]

Yes plus he had a solid foundation,you can still make it but,odds against you.
