Book Talk: The Bottomless Cup with Kevin Boehm

Registration for this program has closed. If you wish to attend, please email programs@executivesclub.org.

The Executives’ Club of Chicago is proud to launch Book Talk — a new series exploring leadership through the lens of provocative, culturally resonant books and the authors behind them. These conversations go beyond the pages to uncover the personal journeys, bold ideas, and universal themes that shape how we lead and live.

Our inaugural Book Talk features Kevin Boehm, co-founder of Boka Restaurant Group and James Beard Award-winning restaurateur, in conversation around his forthcoming memoir, The Bottomless Cup: How a Life in Restaurants Saved My Life. Raw, lyrical, and deeply human, Kevin’s story is about far more than food — it’s about chasing dreams, rebuilding identity, and finding meaning through loss.

This fireside chat will unpack the leadership lessons embedded in a life lived in motion: the grind of entrepreneurship, the tension between ambition and presence, and the reinvention that comes with heartbreak and healing. Whether you’re building a business, a team, or a life that matters, this conversation will offer insights for anyone wrestling with what it means to succeed — and at what cost.
