    Ep 20 - unhospitality with Jeremy - It's Time to Reconsider Michelin's Impact on Hospitality

    Get ready to dive deep into the origins and influence of the Michelin Guide, uncovering how a tire company's self-appointment as culinary arbiter has shaped global food perceptions - for better or worse. We explore the cultural, technical, and ethical implications of a system that has historically favored Western standards and overlooked diverse culinary traditions.  In short, it’s time to question our biases, especially as we judge where and how we travel.   Among other things, we explore: The surprising origin story of the Michelin Guide starting as a marketing tool for tires in 1900 FranceHow the guide's star system was invented in 1926 and its self-appointment as an authorityThe cultural biases embedded in the French-centric aesthetic of fine dining standardsHow systems like Michelin have marginalized non-Western and traditional cuisinesThe impact of the guide's standards on global culinary diversity and authenticityQuestions about the calibration and training of inspectors and what standards they measure food againstThe risk of evaluating all food through a singular, Western lens• The need to question who defines "good food" and on what basis

    Ep 19 - unhospitality with Jeremy - Debunking 3 Hospitality MYTHS - & How YOU Can Learn From Them

    Today, we debunk three common myths in the hospitality industry and learn how they can impact YOU and your career choices. This episode is essential for anyone looking to expand their professional horizons and break down mental barriers holding you back. In the hospitality industry, many misconceptions can limit your career growth and opportunities.  When people think of hospitality, they often focus solely on hotels. While hotels represent a significant part of the industry, hospitality encompasses a vast ecosystem that includes restaurants, events, cruises, resorts, private clubs, airlines, and much more. In fact, hospitality accounts for one in every ten jobs worldwide, demonstrating the industry's extensive reach. One significant misconception in the hospitality industry is the expectation that help will always be available when challenges arise. Unfortunately, this is not always true. Frontline staff often find themselves making critical decisions without immediate support from management.  In your professional journey, whether in hospitality or another field, it’s important to cultivate problem-solving skills and learn to operate effectively without relying solely on external support.As one of my mentors used to tell me, “There is no Mr. Starwood.” The final myth I address is a little on the wonky side, but applies to any major decision/purchase you’ll make in your life.  Don’t get caught up in the emotion of the moment, and lose sight of the details of the agreement that you’re about to sign.  As the saying goes, the Devil is in the Details.   By debunking these myths in the hospitality industry, we can better understand the expansive opportunities available to us. Remember that your skills are transferable, and the challenges you face can be stepping stones to greater independence and decision-making prowess. Consider how these insights can apply to your career and open up new avenues for growth. #myths #travel #career #unhospitality #podcast
