Uncommon Courses is an occasional series from The Conversation U.S. highlighting unconventional approaches to teaching.

Title of course:


“The David Grutman Experience”

What prompted the idea for the course?

  • When David clarified that he wanted to teach an entire course on entrepreneurship – drawing from his own experiences – I thought it would be a great opportunity.
  • Naively, I started sharing tips on how to run the class, based on Florida International University’s academic framework.
  • Similarly, Bad Bunny told students he cannot work on a project without feeling the passion and identifying with it.
  • His last class in spring of 2024 had 400-plus students – so many that we had to use a ballroom as his classroom.

What does the course explore?


David focuses on the cornerstones of success in hospitality: authenticity, relationships, taking it personally, the pros and cons of first-generation versus second-generation establishments, picking a niche, work-life balance and much more. He also goes in depth and shares his business successes as well as failures.

What’s a critical lesson from the course?

  • The strongest and most lasting lesson is probably about tenacity and not giving up.
  • For instance, David shared stories of his successes as much as he shared stories of his failures.
  • In each of those cases, David shared what he learned from the failures and how he avoided the same mistakes going forward.

What will the course prepare students to do?

  • This lesson underlined the importance of collaboration and constructive feedback in entrepreneurship.
  • He emphasized aligning with personal values to establish credibility and attract partnerships, which fosters community engagement and ecosystem growth.
