    Ep. 106 The Power of Storytelling in Hospitality and in Life
    Mar 8 2026
    Welcome to The Cutting Onions Podcast. This is episode 106, and in today’s conversation, we're talking about the power of storytelling in hospitality and in life. Alongside my co-host, as always, Myles Gift, we’re really excited about this conversation. We believe storytelling has become a really important part of the work we do in the restaurant and hospitality industry, but you see its importance everywhere in every industry across every platform.

    This week, there has been a lot of energy around storytelling coming from some of the major burger brands out there and their new sandwiches, so that's part of this, but certainly not the full weight of it. This conversation is really on the power of storytelling and why it matters in hospitality.

    We talk about the three stories that every hospitality brand is telling:
    1. They're telling the story of the guest
    2. They're telling the story of their team.
    3. They're telling the story of their leadership.

    We’re very excited about this conversation. We hope you enjoy it as you immerse yourself in it and really think through the way that you're telling your story and the way that your brand is telling their story and using storytelling as a leadership tool.

    And finally, this last week, one of our childhood heroes, Harrison Ford, gave an acceptance speech at the Screen Actors Guild Awards that was a master class in why storytelling matters. We’ve posted about that a few times this week. If you haven’t seen it, we encourage you to watch it.

    This quote from Harrison Ford sums up the power of storytelling beautifully: "The stories we tell have a unique capacity to create moments of emotional connection."

    And isn’t that what we’re all here to do?

    We would love to hear from you on how you use storytelling in your brand to elevate your organization, your teams, and how you are impacting your communities.

    Thanks again today for joining us. We're really happy to have you here, and we'll see you on the other side.

  • 105. Bobby and Myles Discuss The 4 Leadership Needs of Every Follower

    105. Bobby and Myles Discuss The 4 Leadership Needs of Every Follower
    Jan 23 2026
    Today on The Cutting Onions Podcast, Bobby and Myles talk about the Four Leadership Needs of every follower in every organization.

    Gallup recently studied people across 52 countries and found something powerful: No matter where you live, no matter the industry, the people you lead have four core leadership needs. Hope. Trust. Compassion. Stability.

    Of all four, hope is the most essential. Hope isn’t wishful thinking. Hope is a leader helping people see a better future and their place in it. Gallup’s data shows that when leaders inspire hope, thriving increases and suffering decreases. That’s not squishy leadership. That’s real impact.

    But hope alone isn’t enough. Trust means people believe your words and your actions align. Compassion means people feel seen, heard, and cared for, not managed. Stability means that even in uncertainty, your leadership provides clarity and psychological safety.

    Every day, our teams are asking four quiet questions:
    1. Can I believe in where we’re going?
    2. Can I trust you?
    3. Do you care about me?
    4. And am I safe here?
    Great leaders don’t guess at those answers. We hope you enjoy this episode!
