Episode 161
Monday, 29 June, 2026

Real leadership. No fluff. Just honest conversation. This World Wellbeing Week, we're revisiting the panel discussion from our Burnt Brunch event in partnership with Planday - recorded live at art'otel London Battersea against the backdrop of Battersea Power Station. Host Mica Maurtua sits down with Cassie Davison, Michelle Moreno, and Kris Hall for a no-nonsense conversation about what modern hospitality leadership actually requires - not surface-level wellbeing talk, but real clarity, real confidence, and real-world insight. In this episode: ✅ Moving from reactive firefighting to intentional leadership ✅ Balancing people and performance without burning out ✅ Practical tools you can take straight back to your team ✅ The reminder that you are not alone in the pressures you're facing Leadership cannot be done alone. If you're carrying the weight of a team, a kitchen, or a business right now - this conversation is for you.
