We are kicking off Season 4 with the fabulous Paul Spencer. Beginning as a chef in the French suburbs, Paul worked his way from BOH to FOH all the way to his current role of COO at Edyn overseeing the brands Locke, Cove and SACO, operating in nine countries by the close of 2024. Paul is a force for good in hospitality, showing up as a role model and guide for creating a more mentally healthy way to operate as a leader. Tune in to hear us talk about the cost of admission in a passion driven career, honesty as power and the true delight of making someone's day.

Special shout out to Paul's Hospitality Hero(s) Marcus Waring and Theo Randall for being not only great chefs but indeed great people too and praise where praise is due to Le Mary Celeste in Paris for taking the title of best restaurant Paul has eaten at so far this year.
