Episode Description

What do a successful nightclub, a rare trading card and a poker community have in common? They all depend on attention, experience, scarcityโ€”and the right operator behind the business.

In this special double-feature episode of The Money Mondays, Dan Fleyshman sits down with nightlife veteran JROC and StockX co-founder Josh Luber. JROC breaks down the economics of nightlife, celebrity appearances, lifestyle investments and the experienced operators behind hospitality brands that last. Josh explores collectibles as alternative assets, blind-box products, market-based pricing, major licensing partnerships and his newest venture building a social network for poker.

From VIP tables and viral restaurant experiences to numbered collectibles and blind Dutch auctions, this episode reveals how entrepreneurs turn culture into commerceโ€”and why the team behind the idea is often the most important investment of all.
