What if the key to bigger impact isn’t more grind...but more presence? Michael, a restaurateur known for bright, welcoming spaces and lines-out-the-door brunch, shares how a guest-first mindset and a hard reset on his personal life transformed everything. He didn’t come up through the back of house; he walked in focused on why people gather. That outsider perspective became his advantage as he built restaurants where safety, care, and connection are the main ingredients...and where the design, the energy, and the food all invite you to feel at home.
We explore leadership that humanizes hospitality, technology that frees up time for real service, and a simple mission that guides every decision: live healthy and long to be a beacon for the people you love. Michael also offers a framework for modern masculinity...“dangerous and kind”...strong enough to protect, soft enough to connect.
