🎧🎙 Maverick Talk 🚀🎧 - Growth Through Hospitality


BY MICHAEL TINGSAGER

Five minutes that could transform your leadership and business forever.


THOUGHT

Growth Through Hospitality

Growth is usually framed in financial or operational terms.

But what if hospitality — the act of serving others — was your true growth engine?

Got this insight after my interview with Maverick Howard Lewis

Maverick leaders flip the script.

They grow by putting hospitality at the heart.

Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality didn’t just scale restaurants.

They scaled:

- care

- connection

- and culture.

When hospitality becomes your strategy, growth becomes inevitable...

...not because you chase it, but because people are drawn to it.

Could hospitality be your growth model?

What would that change?

Hospitality Mavericks

We wanted to show there was another way to build and lead businesses. So Hospitality Mavericks was born. We wanted to gather together the world’s Mavericks who do things differently from the norm. They are leaders from all walks of life who have shown and proven that there is a better way forward without cashing out on their values; ripping off their people, community and planet. That was over ten years ago.

We are the home to impactful leaders that KNOW and DO things in a better way. A network for those seeking a different path. So don’t just be like the others! Dare to Be Different ✊
