    The Art of Making People Feel Seen | Ruby Martin on Hospitality, Performance & Closing Fontaine's

    What if true hospitality has nothing to do with cocktails, and everything to do with making people feel seen? In this episode of Finding My User Manual, I sit down with Ruby Martin - founder of the iconic East London cocktail bar Fontaine's - for an honest conversation about hospitality, creativity, performance, entrepreneurship, and the bittersweet reality of walking away from something you've spent over a decade building. Before creating one of London's most beloved cocktail bars, Ruby spent fifteen years performing on stage as an actress and cabaret artist. Together, we explore how performance never really ended - it simply evolved into the art of creating unforgettable experiences, building genuine human connection, and making strangers feel like they belong. We talk about what hospitality can teach us about empathy, why creativity is so deeply intertwined with human connection, the emotional labour behind making people feel special, and how to recognise when it's time to let go of one chapter in order to begin another. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that the greatest legacy we leave behind is often how we make people feel.
