There are innumerable talented individuals and professionals in the world, who in ways more than one, astound others with their immaculate visions, passion and the determination they show for their work in their respective industries. To stand unique amongst these is a challenge; however, a few rare gems have still managed to go ahead and make their mark in their industries and have shown the world what it really takes to become one’s best versions in the business world. Especially, many youngsters have risen to the top and shown their A-game in business. Doing exactly that is one such true-blue professional and young entrepreneurial talent named Michael J. LaBoy.

Who is Michael J. LaBoy, you wonder? Well, this youngster has been making waves in the restaurant and clubs sector across New York and now has even stepped into Miami to spread his entrepreneurial magic. It won’t be wrong to say that he has become essentially one of the most influential business personalities in the USA with his chain of clubs and restaurants.

Throwing light on how he has been a life-long New Yorker, Michael says that he hails from Astoria, Queens, New York City and played basketball in school. For taking care of his daily expenses and pay his university fees, he would drive a taxi. Soon after graduating, Michael turned into a lounge owner from being a basketball player. This was the start of a new beginning for him, and since then, he has never looked back, opening several other clubs in the city. However, no story can ever be complete without challenges. Michael J. LaBoy, who struggled as a student to pay off his bills, even struggled when the pandemic hit, just like many other entrepreneurs around the world.

After opening many clubs and restaurants, Michael couldn’t continue doing business in the city due to the pandemic. Hence, he worked towards opening a new joint in Miami, FL, and so in 2020, amidst a pandemic, he opened “The Smoking Pie”, located in the heart of Miami Beach, along with his businessman brother Justin LaBoy. The Smoking Pie is all about pizzas, pies, drinks, hookahs and bottle service. It has now become a VIP location as many celebrities get spotted often at the restaurant and lounge. It is known for offering rustic wood oven inspired Specialty Pizzas & Hookah, with extraordinary bottle service, cocktail menu and also dancing inside.

The brothers have lit Miami’s nightlife with their newest celebrity hot spot, where they also host private parties and events. Michael J. LaBoy says that though the pandemic has been tough on them like it has been on multiple other entrepreneurs worldwide, they never stopped innovating and brainstorming ideas that could help them keep moving on their path with their businesses in clubs and restaurants. Hence, they opened The Smoking Pie in Miami, FL, which is now flourishing, becoming the hottest choice of celebs and everyone else.

Michael J. LaBoy, who in the last one year has travelled to six countries, further plans to visit many other countries in the coming years and also plans to step into the real estate business and start his music label. He looks unstoppable with his entrepreneurial spirit and passion.
