Over $100k in a single weekend?! Southern Charm’s Leva Bonaparte dives into the BTS of entrepreneurial side of restaurants and bars, reality TV, and fighting for what is important

This week, Jason is joined by entrepreneur and reality TV personality, Leva Bonaparte! Known for her role on Bravo’s Southern Charm and Southern Hospitality, Leva has been a part of the hit reality show based out of Charleston, South Carolina in a guest capacity for six seasons and as of late, a main cast member for three seasons now. However, outside her role on the show, Leva has been an integral part of the booming Charleston economy for the past 20 years. Leva and her husband own five of the hottest restaurants and bars on King Street in the heart of Charleston. Leva’s entrepreneurial success with her restaurants and bars even generated the idea for Bravo to create the spin-off series, Southern Hospitality which follows Leva and her staff, individuals, cast members and patrons of Republic Garden and Lounge.   Leva gives insight to how she started in the family business as a project manager to build her career in the United States, how she has learned to live below her means from her immigrant parents, the difference between flipping in Canada versus the US, how much capital was raised to put into the restaurant space, how prioritizing what is best of her has launched her successful career, and how party for a purpose came to be. Leva also reveals what lead to opening their own restaurant, the impact of being on Bravo has had on the restaurants, how she is paid in regards to Southern Charm and how she landed on show, where she makes the most money, how she focuses on being successful, and what it is like working as an executive producer on the show.  Did she prioritize the restaurant and bar space over having a big wedding? Which one of her bars sells the most champagne in the state of South Carolina? Leva reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!  Host: Jason Tartick Co-Host: David Arduin Audio: John Gurney Guest: Leva Bonaparte Stay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast!  Instagram: @tradingsecretspodcast  Youtube: Trading Secrets Facebook: Join the Group All Access: Free 30-Day Trial
