On this episode, I’m joined by Luis Rivera, General Manager at White Oak Music Hall, for an exploration of the ways that relationships between hospitality leaders at different organizations can help strengthen the industry as a whole.


While Luis was initially in training to be an engineer, volunteering at a music festival allowed the industry to get its hooks in him, and he’s been committed to creating memorable concert experiences ever since.


His passion for the live music industry means he wants to see all concert venues thrive, not just his own. He and his team regularly attend shows at venues all around his native Houston, supporting their industry peers and creating a community where everyone is challenged to learn and grow. This network of relationships creates an environment of camaraderie, not enmity.


It’s an outstanding example of the way that competition in the hospitality industry can spur organizations on to greatness, rather than create division.
