In this episode of The Late Night Restaurant Podcast, host Jay Ashton welcomes Maxim Atanassov—entrepreneur, investor, and founding partner of Future Ventures—for a powerful, free-flowing conversation that covers everything from natural wine to venture studios to the emotional side of leadership. Maxim shares his journey from Bulgaria to Canada, launching multiple businesses, and why mentorship and vulnerability are now at the core of how he builds companies. The two dig deep into the outdated 1765 restaurant model, building new revenue streams, storytelling as a superpower, and how doing just 10% more can double your business using the Rule of 72.

Packed with insights, laughter, and fresh ideas for anyone in hospitality or entrepreneurship—this episode will leave you rethinking what’s possible for your business.
