“From Burnout to Breakthrough: Why Hospitality Must Change How It Leads”
In this powerful episode of Talking Hospitality, we sit down with Matt Cameron — founder of TMC People Agency and WellJam — to explore the real cost of poor leadership in hospitality. From washing dishes illegally in Brisbane to nearly losing his life to burnout, Matt’s story is raw, honest, and deeply relevant.
We dive into the toxic work environments driving talent out of the industry, the urgent need to reshape hospitality leadership, and how culture, wellbeing, and purpose can be a competitive advantage — not just a buzzword.
If you're a GM, entrepreneur or senior leader in the UK hospitality sector, this is essential listening. We talk candidly about mental health, Gen Z engagement, toxic leadership, ghosting, and the myth that long hours equal commitment.
