Daniel Robbins sits down with Miami hospitality icon David Grutman, founder of Groot Hospitality, to break down how relationships, details, and relentless “value add” turned him into the city’s ultimate connector. David shares how he built Miami’s pull by controlling the full experience for influential guests, why the goal is never to “keep score,” and what it takes to create restaurant and nightlife moments people can’t stop filming. They also dive into his new book Take It Personal, the stress behind the scenes, and why his proudest legacy is his family.
