SEAT YOURSELF Podcast Links

New Link on Apple Podcasts

6/7/2022

After several weeks of dealing with the fine folks at Apple regarding the posting/links for our Seat Yourself podcast, I think we have finally(!) resolved the problem (don't ask). Here is the #newlink that should take directly to our podcast episodes:

7.19.21 Roger Least – A Culture of Serving Others in Senior Living

7/19/2021

This week’s episode features Roger Least, Director of Dining Services for Brightview Senior Living. Drawn to his current company by their culture, in our conversation Roger explains why that culture is so important in the senior living segment and what it especially meant during the pandemic.

And, since we have tabletop in our DNA, we asked Roger his view of how the role that tabletop plays in the senior dining experience and just why the dining experience is so important in this growing sector.

After our conversation it is easy to understand why Brightview is a regional leader in this all important segment and why they continue to attract top talent at all levels.

This week, friend of the podcast Zander Lauritzen Hansen returns to talk tiki! We could not be more excited to have this cocktail savant return to give us his thoughts on this fun concept that will no doubt be riding the returning wave as the hospitality industry begins its comeback. The tiki cocktail, and really the entire tiki concept, is associated with fun and the world could use a bit more of that these days, for sure.

We’ll talk about the history of tiki, what are some of the current trends and why it can be a profitable addition to almost any type of restaurant or bar. Plus, you can get a few ideas from Zander’s company - Scandic Bar – by using the catalog link on the Seat Yourself website, just to the right of this posting.
