So Called: Steve Adelman, Nightlife Entrepreneur

So Called Podcast

How much is enough? You don't need to be King of Everything, says Steve Adelman, Nightlife Entrepreneur. Instead, be King of Enough and spend time developing long-term relationships.

Steve has ruled the nightlife realm for 30 years, but he didn’t begin his career as a nightlife entrepreneur. His career transition began as the result of a party at his apartment after he'd left a consulting job he didn’t love.

Success in making such a drastic career change wasn’t easy, but Steve was driven by his interest in the nightlife and entertainment business. Hard work, collaboration, and learning from successes and failures eventually prepared him to direct the four largest nightclubs in New York City. From there, he has gone on to start up nightlife and concert venues in major international cities.

Steve still enjoys the creativity involved in being able to conceive of an idea, plan it out, and see what works and what doesn't - night after night. He is currently working on a concept to address how people want to socialize in a post-pandemic world and writing Nocturnal Admissions, a collection of humorous essays about his 30 years as a nightlife entrepreneur, which will be published in early 2022.

Steve's career advice is to slow down and pay attention to the relationships you develop during your career by staying in touch.
