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

 
Picture
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.

6/22/2021

 
Picture
This week’s episode features marketing veteran Marc Broccoli. Marc has been helping start-up and established brands grow for the past 20+ years by combining proven marketing strategies and tactics with both traditional and leading-edge methods. Recently, Marc has turned his attention to marketing within the foodservice sector.  So, in today’s conversation, we discuss with this veteran marketer how he views marketing versus sales and where he feels the future of marketing in foodservice is headed.

Marc’s experience includes working with companies of all sizes in both consumer and the B2B channels. To add to his marketing expertise, Marc started his business career in operations and, in addition, he has also spent time on the agency side of the brand building equation.
​
With a background of such wide – and deep – experiences, we were excited to sit with Marc Broccoli and get his take the future of marketing, in general….and what he sees as the future role of brands in foodservice.
And like any great marketer, Marc has his own website: www.mbroccoli.com

6.7.21 Ed Grocholski, Junior Achievement: Preparing Future Leaders and Entrepreneurs

6/7/2021

 
Picture
This week’s episode has us sitting with Ed Grocholski, Sr. Vice President – Brand at the Junior Achievement organization. Recruiting employees and future leaders for the restaurant and hospitality industry currently is a real and present issue. We're fortunate to have Ed join us to discuss how his organization is working to develop top young talent that will hopefully be a source now and in the future for our industry!
 
If you're interested in having young people learn and join our industry, you'll want to check out what Ed has to say! And, like me, I think you’ll be amazed at both the scope – and the impact – of the Junior Achievement organization.

This week, we bring a tech touch to Seat Yourself when we are joined by John Kelly, CEO of Zenreach.

With customer acquisition and retention as their primary targets, Zenreach offers operators digital marketing that can be measured with in-store results.

5.17.21 Nikki Gibson – Swurfing into The Mainstream

5/17/2021

 
Picture
This week, we head back to one of our favorite cities – Edinburgh, Scotland – to speak to founder and creative entrepreneur  Nikki Gibson about her start up company - SWURF. This talented hospitality veteran seized the opportunity during the current pandemic to create a startup to help both hotel properties and those who continue to work from home. Nikki will explain why her company SWURF is of great benefit to both the hoteliers and her "Swurfer" community, even after the pandemic is over.

In addition, Nikki will tell us why she feels that challenging times are often the best time to begin something new and what some of her thoughts – and challenges – are in being an entrepreneur. Anybody considering a startup will want to hear what Nikki has to say.

5.3.21 Talking Tiki with Zander Lauritzen Hansen

5/3/2021

 
Picture
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.

Picture
In this week’s episode, Dave discusses the #coretrait of being true to yourself and your dreams. And, he does it by discussing the future possibilities that lay in front for TabletopJournal as it approaches its 10th anniversary.

Ambiguity and uncertainty are always a part of our future and Dave’s personal approach in this week’s episode brings it home with candor, personality and, as always, without varnish.
