David Grutman, the founder of Groot Hospitality, is constantly hunting for opportunities to forge relationships—and collaborations—among people he meets. The approach has helped him expand from hot spots like the Miami club LIV to media, including producing an upcoming Netflix series starring Alix Earle, and a growing portfolio of venture bets. Kim Kardashian, whom he met on the Miami nightlife scene around two decades ago, wrote the foreword to his book, “Take It Personal.” He says he chats with more than 200 people a day and shared what he’s learned about building businesses along the way with us in The WSJ Money Interview.
