Taking the Helm on Life | Fireside Podcast Ep. 95 | Mark Palmieri

Join me, Ryan Robbins, as I sit down with Mark Palmieri, the owner of The Helm in Greenwood Lake. In this episode, we dive into Mark's journey from a stationary desk job at UBS to becoming a successful restaurant owner. Mark shares how he transitioned subtly into the restaurant industry, where he met his founding partner, Jenn. Together, they transformed a rundown spot into the bustling scene that is The Helm. We cover Mark's early days working at UBS, his love for community and family, and how he found joy bartending. Mark opens up about his partying days, the mistakes he made, and how he turned things around with a wake-up call and some tough love. We also emphasize the importance of surrounding yourself with people who won't enable bad behavior. Whether you're interested in entrepreneurship, the restaurant industry, or personal growth, this episode offers valuable insights and a raw look at the challenges and triumphs of building a successful business.   ⬇️ SOCIALS AND SITES ⬇️📲 RYAN'S INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ryandrobbins/📲 MOBILE CIGAR LOUNGE WEBSITE: https://themobilecigarlounge.com/⬇️ GET IN MY CIRCLE ⬇️🎥 APPLY TO BE A GUEST!: https://ryandrobbins.com/fireside-chats/💰 JOIN THE PIT (ONLY $147/MONTH!): https://go.ryandrobbins.com/join📈 APPLY FOR 1-ON-1 COACHING: https://ryandrobbins.com/coaching/🌲 MORE LINKS: https://linktr.ee/ryanrobbins⬇️ WATCH MORE HERE ⬇️🔥 EPISODE 94 WITH JOEY MAC DIAZ https://youtu.be/H9AET1iCLIo
