People don’t return to your business for the product they return for the experience. And every single interaction, your customers have with your business either helps or hurts the experience.

There’s a reason why Italian piazzas have been popular for thousands of years...because the need for human connection isn’t a fad, it’s in our DNA

Massive thanks to everyone who came out to the premier of our documentary, “Plant Medicine.”

After 18+ months of work, it was great to finally show it to the world. Huge congrats to my business partner Stash Slionski on directing an amazing film, thank you to our great partners at Rythmia and all of the talent people who worked on this project. 🙏

After nearly 18 months I’m proud to announce the release of Plant Medicine., produced by us at Good Day Film.
⁣
A groundbreaking, 6-part docuseries chronicling the transformative journeys of seven individuals who travel to Costa Rica seeking healing through ancient plant medicine. Over one intense week at Rythmia Life Advancement Center (the only legally licensed Ayahuasca treatment center), their encounters with Ayahuasca, a sacred medicine used by indigenous tribes for millennia, are documented. Each participant, disillusioned by conventional treatments, turns to this powerful therapy for answers.⁣
⁣
Congrats to the entire team on an amazing project and a huge shoutout to my business partner Stash Slionski for an amazing directorial performance. I’m so impressed by how you made this story come to life. ⁣
⁣
You can stream the entire series exclusively on Gaia.com.

I’m excited to announce the formation of the Ruffini group.⁣
⁣
After spending the first 30 years of my life inside my parent’s restaurant business, I branched out and spent the past 15 years in media. ⁣
⁣
The reality is, the content world is shifting, and I came to the realization that I no longer want to focus my time creating content that keeps people addicted to their phones. To be clear, I love storytelling, documenting and creating and will continue to do so through Good Day Film. But endlessly trying to feed the algorithm is not something I care to do. ⁣
⁣
What drives me is human connection and shared experiences like live music, meals, and the joy of being together with other humans. ⁣
⁣
In today’s world of AI and automation I believe the best businesses in the world will be the ones who focus on the human element, scaling the unscalable and making customers feel seen, heard and understood. ⁣
⁣
That’s why I started The Ruffini Group: to help talent and brands design and operate more human-centric businesses that connect with people in the real world.⁣
⁣
Whether it’s helping talent bring their business idea to life or crafting how a resort tells its story online and translates that into the in-person experience, I believe the details make the difference. ⁣
⁣
I know we’ll refine this company as we go, but I’m excited about the possibilities of working with amazing brands and talent to bring people together and restore some humanity to business.⁣
⁣
If this resonates with you, shoot me a message. I’d love to talk!

A great reminder to all my fellow business owners out there feeling a little high on the horse:⁣

I may be biased because I grew up in a family biz but that doesn’t change the fact that small businesses are the backbone of our communities.

Hospitality is more than an industry. It’s a philosophy. ⁣
⁣
It’s how you treat human beings and make them feel seen, heard and valued whether they’re your customer, employee, vendor or community member. ⁣
⁣
We need more humanity in business. Pass it on…

After a lifetime in the restaurant business, one thing I’ve learned is that people want to feel seen, heard, and appreciated.

So why wouldn’t every businesses think like a restaurant owner?

02/26/2025

Don't overthink it...🤔

We're all just human beings.

I don’t think It matters if you’re a drummer trying to get more gigs or a restaurant trying to get more customers - creating a sense of community and connection (however you want to do that) will lead to more relationships and more opportunities.

Every business is in the hospitality business (even if they don't realize it)

Working in my family's restaurant business taught me that people remember how you make them feel more than anything else. As I transitioned into other industries, I realized this isn't just for restaurants and hotels to think about.

Own a plumbing company? How does the receptionist greet the customer when they answer the phone?

Own a retail store? Do your employees notice when a pregnant customer comes in and offer them water or a place to sit?

Did your client reference a restaurant they love so you send them lunch as a surprise and delight?

It's these little details that change your business from a transaction business to a relationship business.

Customers are humans - and they and they wanted to be treated like humans. The moment you approach business with a hospitality mindset, every interaction with your customers turns into an opportunity to stand out from your competition.
