In this episode of Restaurant Leaders Unplugged, we sit down with Matt Rolfe, leadership expert, author, and coach to the hospitality industry's top performers. Matt shares his raw and powerful story—from growing up with a learning disability to becoming a sought-after leader helping restaurant operators prioritize personal growth, build resilient teams, and lead with intention.
We explore the silent burnout epidemic plaguing restaurant leaders and what it really takes to step back, delegate, and grow sustainably. Matt drops wisdom on mindset shifts, positive conflict, behavioral change, and the real reason your team might not be hearing you. Whether you're scaling locations or trying to regain your balance, this episode is packed with practical tools, real talk, and transformational insight.
