On this episode, Butternomics host Brandon Butler sits down with Southside Ken, the mastermind behind Atlanta’s professional party scene, to unpack how he turned a single Facebook post into a movement that reshaped the city’s nightlife.

If you’ve ever wanted to build something real from scratch—or just throw a party people never forget—this one’s a blueprint.
