    Showing Up Every Day: Humility, Consistency, and the Reality of Hospitality

    In this episode of UnAssociated, host Avi Olitzky sits down with Adam Ritter, chef and co-owner of Bûcheron in South Minneapolis, for a candid conversation about leadership, purpose, and the realities of the hospitality industry. Ritter reflects on his path into the kitchen and the lessons that shaped his approach to leadership—particularly the importance of humility, consistency, and learning from early missteps. He challenges the industry’s growing focus on hype and storytelling, emphasizing instead the value of showing up every day to deliver quality and care. The conversation also explores partnership, as Ritter shares how he and his wife divide responsibilities and support one another through the highs and lows of restaurant life. Beyond the kitchen, he speaks to the role of community, highlighting how local chefs came together in response to tragedy and why purpose-driven work can feel more meaningful than the daily grind.

    Courage, Community, and Conviction in Times of Crisis

    In this episode of UnAssociated, host Avi Olitzky speaks with Medaera “Rondo” Arradondo, former Minneapolis Police Chief, about leadership in moments of crisis and the responsibility that comes with it. Drawing on more than three decades in law enforcement, Rondo reflects on guiding his community through the COVID-19 pandemic and the aftermath of George Floyd’s killing—two defining challenges that tested both leadership and personal conviction. At the center of the conversation is a clear theme: leadership requires presence, listening, and the courage to stand firm in your values. Rondo shares how he intentionally entered uncomfortable spaces, engaged with opposing perspectives, and chose dialogue over division, even in the most charged environments. He also highlights the resilience of community members and small business owners who came together to rebuild, underscoring the power of collective action. Beyond crisis leadership, Rondo reflects on service more broadly—comparing nonprofits to “MASH units on the front lines” and emphasizing the importance of volunteering as a force for good. He closes with a forward-looking perspective rooted in hope, reminding listeners that leadership is always on display—and the next generation is watching.

    Relationships, Resilience, and the Power of Showing Up

    In this episode of UnAssociated, host Avi Olitzky sits down with Lea Olsen, Minnesota Lynx TV analyst, entrepreneur, and executive speaker, for a powerful conversation about identity, resilience, and the role of relationships in building a meaningful career. Lea reflects on growing up in a racially blended family and discovering basketball later than most, playing just one year in high school before earning a spot at the University of Minnesota and finding her confidence on a Big Ten team. She traces her path into sports media through internships and front-office roles with the Minnesota Timberwolves before becoming a respected broadcaster for the Timberwolves and Lynx. The conversation explores access and relationship-building, imposter syndrome, mentorship, and the lessons sports teaches about failing forward. Lea also shares her experiences mentoring young professionals, witnessing community solidarity in Minnesota during times of crisis, and what she has learned about nonprofits and associations, including the importance of storytelling, fundraising, and consistent networking.   UnAssociated is produced by Association Briefings.
