from the heart of Beverly Hills, take on this huge undertaking. Why did he do it? How did he do it? Talk through the concept of building such a gorgeous place and spending three years of his life when he already has massive amounts, I don't know, 17, 18 car dealerships we'll talk about. I think he's got like 50 or 60 gyms, probably more by now. Might've opened one just yesterday for all I know. We're going to go through all of those things. But as you guys know, these podcasts average a little bit under 40 minutes because the average workout is 45 minutes. The average commute to work is 45 minutes. This episode will be between 34 and 38 minutes for your listening pleasure. So without further ado, I'm going to bring on Brandon Steven to give you a quick two-minute bio so we can get straight to the money.
First of all, this is your first podcast outside of the motorhome?
Yeah, hopefully the last. Oh, my God. Just for you.
And this is my first podcast, and this is the first podcast in the Gravitas podcast. Exactly. That's three firsts.
That's a lot. That's a lot of firsts. We've got to make it extra, extra good.
Okay, so two-minute bio. Yes. Which I hate, so I probably won't even use the whole two minutes. I'm Brandon Stephen. I am from Wichita, Kansas. I still live in Wichita, Kansas. People from Beverly Hills that have known me just from doing Gravitas are amazed that I still live in Kansas, but I love it there. Yeah. I think first I'm a father, husband. I have six kids, six amazing kids, five daughters and a boy. I did start in the car business early on, like in my teenage years, working at my best friend's dad's car dealership. And then I just fell in love with the car business. Then my brother and I were partners. We opened up a health club. So I think I opened up my first, we opened up our first health club in 95.
74?
74 health clubs.
You had like 60 like a week ago. Not a week ago, Dan. All right, eight days ago.
How did Brandon Steven start his journey in the automotive industry?
And 21 car dealerships.
You had 18 car dealerships last time I saw him, which was a week ago. Dan's exaggerating again. Okay, nine days ago.
We have a couple of restaurants. We have a hockey team. We have a lot of things. But our core business are health clubs and car dealerships. That's our core business. And my advice to most people is, Stay in your lane, stay in your lane, stay in your lane. And then I keep going outside my lane and doing restaurants and hockey teams and Membership Club. What business do I have going in the heart of the Golden Triangle and building this massive project? So it was less than two minutes, right?
So you already had a steakhouse in Wichita. That was kind of like practice, right? Practice of this fancy steakhouse you built there years ago. But why this? Why go build 28,000 square feet in the heart of Beverly Hills right next to Mr. Chow and Chip Riani and all these fancy places? How did you decide, you know what? I'm going to stake my ground right here in the corner of Camden and Santa Monica Boulevard.
