🎙 Bonus Episode - The Mindset Behind Exceptional Restaurant Leadership with Christin Marvin

I think, yeah, I'm not even gonna look at my questions right now.

So everyone, the listeners know what I do now.

So you have two books behind you.

And if you're not watching this on YouTube, then we've got multi-unit mastery and then the hospitality and I leader.

Yeah.

The hospitality leaders roadmap.

Mm-hmm.

So which one came first?

So Hospitality Leaders Roadmap came first.

And that was really about me wanting to, again, start a business where I could just create and deliver as many resources as possible to the industry.

But I kept telling people my story and they were like, wow, wow, wow.

That's really cool.

That's really cool.

And I was like, it is.

I've just been working.

Right.

And so I thought maybe there's something here.

Maybe there's an opportunity to um share all the leadership lessons that i've learned over the last 20 years with other people and there was a i had really struggled with being a vulnerable leader when i was coming up in the industry and five star five diamond you left your at the door you showed up crisp and clean and and you know every single day and i i had uh through my coaching work i'd realized that Because of my lack of vulnerability, I hadn't connected on a deeper level relationship wise with a lot of my employees and my family and my friends.

And so I'd been working with my coach on how to be vulnerable.

And he said, Kristen, when you write this first book, I want you to go write two chapters before we meet again.

And I want you to throw everything out there.

I want you to be as vulnerable as you've ever been.

so i put everything in here the sex the drugs the alcohol um sleeping with your boss the boss sleeping with you whatever i mean i put it all in there and laid it all out and my hope it was very therapeutic for me it's on amazon and on our website

i'm going to be ordering that now that sounds good

okay but i also wanted i want you know i know how many inexperienced people are coming up through the industry now and so if i could help somebody avoid some of the mistakes that i made and speed up their learning process and their their curve um and find the joy that i found in this industry and let them know what this could be down the road uh that was really the goal of the books
