    S6 E6 | The Lost Art Of Hospitality with Matt Lettelleir, Orlando Health Public Policy Manager

    What does it mean to be genuinely human in customer experience and to forge brand loyalty? In this episode of the "Money" Market Podcast, host Owen LaFave and author Matt Lettelleir discuss this question and more as they unpack his book, "The Open Door: A Philosophy of Welcome for Leaders, Cities, and Everyone Who Opens a Door." Together, they discuss the lost art of welcoming and how to see others as more than a person to process, a problem to solve, or a ticket to close. Matt reminds us that hospitality goes beyond an amenity to share when there is "extra" to go around. He advocates for hospitality to be rooted in each level of infrastructure, and driven by intentional connection, making it a compelling force of positive impact. When cultivated, hospitality drives loyalty at every level, with customers, employees, and the community. Matt Lettelleir's message reminds us that better experiences create better outcomes.   WATCH NEXT: THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY WITH AG LAFLEY, FORMER PROCTER & GAMBLE CEO https://youtu.be/01k-B_X1qCs SUBSCRIBE: https://youtube.com/@TheMoneyMarketPodcast?si=OEK5SZSBDNr6v0tZ Follow The "Money" Market Podcast here:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6e7E0DaJZQkuw339G7nGI4?si=27d047641a1d4b17 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-money-market-podcast/id1733948143 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneymarketpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneymarketpodcast Website: https://moneymarketpodcast.com   The Bank of Tampa | FDIC
