Some episodes have a theme and this one is showing up. One hundred and fifty operators showed up to Capitol Day. Senate Bill 304 showed up across the finish line. A Detroit brewery makes sure it'll never stop showing up. And then there's Brandon Markle, who is showing up - behind a counter, in a hotel lobby, on a national awards stage, and in-person in the studio for this interview. The GM of the Courtyard by Marriott Lansing Downtown started behind a McDonald's counter and by 28 is running a hotel, winning awards, and building a team that actually reflects the community he serves. His take on authentic leadership, mentorship, and never letting frustration leak is the kind of conversation that makes you want to be better at your job. Whatever your job is. Presented by Fahey, Schultz, Burzych, Rhodes PLDC. Find more information at
