This episode hits home. After 51 years in hospitality, Tom shares how burnout shaped his life and why he’s leading The Burnt Chef Project across North America. We talk about mental health in restaurants, leadership, loneliness, and the simple things that help like saying thank you, or texting someone, “You’re awesome.”

You’ll hear real talk about empathy, the pressure to be perfect, and how small acts change everything. Tom’s story will make you rethink how you lead your team, take care of yourself, and look at the industry you love.
