Episode notes

What does it take to rebuild a hospitality business from 10 employees back to 450 after COVID - and do it right this time? Adam Delloso, COO of Philadelphia's 12th Street Catering, joins Marcia and Meghan to talk about the leadership philosophy that's driving real growth: making decisions from love instead of fear, hiring for care over credentials, and building a culture where people rise to the top. Adam gets real about his cancer diagnosis, work addiction, the grind that nearly cost him his family, and how he finally learned that being present - at home and at work - is the most important leadership skill of all. If you're scaling a team, navigating uncertainty, or just trying to keep your people engaged in a chaotic world, this one's for you.
