Can Unreasonable Hospitality Save Your Culture? (feat. Lee Crume & Mike Sipple Jr.)

Welcome to another transformational episode of the Unconventional Leadership Podcast. In this one, Lee Crume, CEO of BE NKY, shares how Unreasonable Hospitality reshaped employee experience, innovation, and team culture in Northern Kentucky. We go deep on building an ecosystem mindset, cultivating staff voice, and designing a community‑centric strategy to attract high‑impact investment and support regional growth.

What you'll learn:

• How to turn hospitality lessons into leadership culture

• Why “hire slow, fire fast” is more than a phrase

• Transforming client and candidate touchpoints through purpose‑driven process

• Designing a five‑star client experience from parking lot greetings to plant tours

• The philosophy of making your leadership *obsolete* through empowerment

• Building spaces and ecosystems that drive collaboration and innovation in your community
