Can hospitality businesses really be a force for good?
In Episode 75 — the Season 5 finale of Talking Hospitality — we sit down with Michael Tingsager, founder of Hospitality Mavericks, to explore what it actually takes to build a business that delivers both profit and purpose.
This isn’t theory. It’s a practical look at how leading hospitality brands are thinking differently — from culture and leadership to growth, governance and long-term impact.
We break down:
The “seven tenets” behind high-performing hospitality businesses
Why culture is now a commercial advantage, not a side conversation
How brands like Dishoom and others build purpose into real decisions
Why copying competitors is holding the industry back
What hospitality leaders need to do differently moving forward
