Ep 48 - PJ Mercanti

In this episode, we’re joined by PJ Mercanti, CEO of Carmen's Group, for a conversation about family business, leadership, fatherhood, and building a meaningful life.


PJ shares how growing up in a hardworking Italian family in Hamilton shaped his values, why he chose to leave a promising career opportunity with ESPN to return home, and what it’s really like leading a multi-generational hospitality company under constant pressure.


We talk about:


Leadership and entrepreneurship

Fatherhood and family values

Mental health and staying balanced

Building discipline through routine and fitness

Mentorship and personal growth

Faith, spirituality, and accountability

Handling stress, adversity, and business challenges

The future of Hamilton’s entertainment scene


PJ also reflects on the legacy his father built, the lessons that shaped him as both a leader and a dad, and why true success means nothing if you lose the people closest to you along the way.


A powerful episode about purpose, resilience, and showing up for the people who matter most.
