John Terzian & Brian Toll

Growing up in Los Angeles, John Terzian and Brian Toll met in high school while they were both throwing parties for their friends and eventually found themselves in the nightlife business.

They both promoted for local LA nightclubs until their passion for hospitality led to them eventually partnering and launching their own restaurant concept which was out of business in 3 months, losing $2 million.

In Episode 16, hear the story of how the impresario duo overcame multiple failed venues, launched The h.wood Group in 2008, and quietly built a hospitality empire in LA and beyond, ranging from restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and hotels and attracting top performers and A-List guests on a nightly basis.
