Dave Portnoy & David Grutman

Miami, FL – March 2, 2021 – On Tuesday night, David Grutman launched his third semester of the ‘Grutman Experience: The Class’, at the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management at Florida International University. Socially distanced on the second floor outside terrace of FIU’s Kovens Center, students gathered with open minds to hear Grutman introduce his semester long course by going over how important it is to ‘Create an Ecosystem’. After sharing the importance of growth, humility, relationships, and hard work, Grutman surprised his students with the one and only President of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy.

Portnoy explained his version of success and the difference of building an online empire to becoming a hospitality mogul, and the class was even able to catch a live ‘Barstool Pizza Review’! Grutman surprised Portnoy, and the whole class, with D.C. Pie Co and scored it right then and there. It is safe to say that these FIU students have never been more excited for class before.
