Leadership Isn’t a Title—It’s a Daily Choice

Christopher McFadden doesn’t just talk about leadership—he lives it. From teenage retail hustler to wine-soaked restaurant GM to executive career coach, he’s walked the line between burnout and breakthrough. In this episode, we get into what makes people want to show up to work, why positional authority is overrated, and how real leaders build harmony—not balance—in their lives and kitchens.

If you’ve ever felt like the restaurant industry asks for everything and gives very little back, this one’s for you.

We get tactical about:

• Building leadership from the bottom up

• The power of staff-first culture

• Coaching vs commanding

• Systems that start with how you manage your own time

You’ll walk away with new ways to think about leadership, employee retention, and building restaurants people don’t want to leave.
