    The Platform 063: From Pizza Boy to COO, Life Phases, Toxic Staff & The Horse Poop Guy

    On Episode 63 of The Platform Podcast, I sat down with one of my close friends, Ryan Cota. Ryan has worked his way up the nightlife industry ladder — starting in the kitchen at a local bar and rising to become the COO of Stanton & Bowery Hospitality, where he now oversees nine venues across the U.S., including Barstool locations in Nashville, Scottsdale, and Philadelphia. During this episode, we dive into what really happens behind the scenes — from building the right team at a venue and maintaining leadership boundaries while still being able to build genuine relationships, to staying ahead of the competition and, of course, keeping owners, staff, and guests happy. Enjoy the episode! Drop a comment below with any questions for Ryan or suggestions for future guests.

    On episode fifty-six of The Platform Podcast, I sat down with the DJ and producer known as Petie! The New York based DJ started his career and made a name for himself quickly when he went a new direction and rebranded as MIME. He burst onto the scene playing festivals in Asia and playing some of the most reputable venues in the U.S. like The Brooklyn Mirage.

Now known as Petie, he travels constantly playing shows here in Nashville, Texas, Miami, New York and more. Aside from DJing he also has his own graphic design business called “Content Curry.” As a creative he talks about the similarities between music and graphic design and how doing both actually helped him.
