Captive Conversations, The Hospitality Podcast · 2026-05-22 · 1h 20m
In this episode of Captive Conversations, Adam sits down with Pete Hurley from Well Seasoned for a wide-ranging conversation about hospitality careers, operator pressure, fragmented tech and the rise of fractional talent. Pete shares how his journey moved from washing dishes in a country pub to building an early meal kit business, pivoting into outside catering, taking on a modern art gallery café, restaurant and events operation, and eventually building Well Seasoned. It is a story full of learning curves, customer demand, operational chaos and the kind of real-world adaptability hospitality is built on. The episode explores why platforms still need to talk to each other, why hospitality teaches skills you cannot learn in a classroom, why operators increasingly need “outside eyes”, and how Well Seasoned is helping businesses find practical specialists for specific problems. #hospitality #hospitalitytech #restaurantoperations #fractionaltalent #restaurantindustry #wellseasoned #captiveconversations
