Many people may look at Britney and think she has what she has because of her last name. And that is where they give her the advantage. She has worked in all areas of the restaurants and has fought for everything she has. Her faith. Her family. Her business. One amazing lady.

It’s unpredictable just how a father-daughter relationship will evolve. There’s even more uncertainty when that daughter takes over her father’s business. The reality was that I learned as much from her as she learned from me. I have witnessed this young CEO advance a faith-based culture of caring for the company I gave birth to, and that makes me very proud. If you’re open to becoming a better leader, a better parent, a better sibling, a better daughter or son, a better spouse, or simply a better person, there’s no better book to read than this one.

About the Author

Britney Ruby Miller is CEO of Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment (JRCE), headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, which manages a portfolio of high-end steakhouses widely regarded as among the best in the nation. She directs the company's seven steakhouses in Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, leading a team of hundreds of employees. “When your father is a steakhouse baron, you don't just show up and take over the family business when you come of age,” she says. Britney started working in one of the family restaurants at age fifteen and subsequently gained experience in all areas of the business, and she also attended culinary school. Britney was studying in the Lindner College of Business when 9/11 hit, prompting her to switch her major and earn a bachelor's degree in religious studies from the University of Cincinnati before returning to the family business and eventually joining JRCE's corporate team. She is currently pursuing an MBA from Xavier University. In her corporate role, Britney's leadership led to eight years of consecutive same-store sales growth, expanding the company while enhancing the key element on which its success depends: delivering absolutely incomparable total dining experiences in each market. When the economic effects of Covid-19 threatened not only her own business but also the entire restaurant industry and food supply chain nationwide, Britney became an energetic advocate for the restaurant industry and related industries on both state and federal levels. Britney also helped to develop and launch one of her family's main charitable endeavors, The Jeff Ruby Foundation. The foundation's goal is to remove Cincinnati from the "Top 5 Childhood Poverty" lists by providing homes for foster children and lowering the number of kids in the county foster system. Brittney has been named to the "40 Under 40" lists of the Cincinnati Business Courier and Cincinnati's Venue magazine, and she is a frequent speaker on topics ranging from restaurant management to marketing to women in business. She serves as a board member of both The Jeff Ruby Foundation and the Cincinnati State Foundation, and she is a member of the Young Presidents Organization. Britney is a dedicated wife and mother. She is married to Caleb Miller, a former linebacker for the Cincinnati Bengals, and they have four children. Committed to putting family first, Britney continually strives to balance family life and work demands, enriching both realms of her life.
