Eric Cacciatore visited the Cali BBQ Media studio at Cali Comfort BBQ in Spring Valley to record an episode of his Restaurant Unstoppable podcast with Shawn Walchef in November 2019.The next day Eric Cacciatore came back to Cali Comfort BBQ so Shawn could turn the mics on his fellow podcast host to go Behind the Smoke about what drives him to go all in on podcasting.

Only 1 percent of podcasts make any money. Immediate ROI is not the reason you make a podcast. You can read more about that in this great article about the economics of podcasting: https://lime.link/blog/how-much-money-do-podcasters-makeEric Cacciatore has achieved something rare. He created a podcast that actually earns income.

But it wasn’t easy. Success never is.“My mantra is: ‘Ain’t nothing to it but to do it.’ You just go,"Eric said.
You don’t get to be one of the top restaurant podcasts without hard work, dedication, and passion.Identifying a need
When Eric Cacciatore got into podcasting years ago he quickly realized there was a glaring lack of podcasts in the restaurant and hospitality space.“That was my first hint right there that the hospitality industry hadn’t quite caught up yet,” Eric Cacciatore said. “We’re late adopters in this industry, typically.”

That’s one of the reasons Eric wanted to make a podcast about restaurant owners for restaurant owners.Hospitality is in people’s blood, whether you’re on the media side or the restaurant owner side.

Eric Cacciatore’s parents owned a restaurant so he grew up in the industry. His dream was to always open a restaurant.Eric found a different and innovative way to make his mark on the industry. He started his own restaurant podcast.

That meant leaving behind the start of his aviation career and fly into a completely new territory.“I was leaning into my strengths.”
He knew his dreams would come true if he took time to try and help others.“The whole idea is how to become unstoppable. How to make your restaurant dreams unstoppable,” he said about naming his podcast Restaurant Unstoppable.
Podcasting takes hard workTo make it as a podcaster or as a restaurant owner you have to have stamina. Few, if any, make it overnight. It takes years of sweat.

“I started this thing seven years ago and I’ve published 2 to 3 episodes a week.”
