THINC Tank Media Network, in collaboration with Chef Keller and The Hospitality Industry Network for Creativity, Collaboration, and Change, is excited to announce the launch of “The Keller Chronicles” podcast. This new series will air on “The Hospitality Nexus,” a global platform dedicated to elevating conversations in the hospitality sector. “Cook with Your Heart” transcends traditional cooking narratives, focusing on the importance of passion, integrity, and community engagement within the hospitality industry. The podcast aims to explore what it truly means to lead with the heart, emphasizing the principles of doing the right things right and giving back to local and global communities. The inspiration for the podcast stems from a personal experience in 2016, where a dish ordered at a well-known restaurant in the DC Metro left a lasting impression. Chef Keller remarked, “Looks like a robot cooked it,” prompting him to promote the mantra “Cook with your Heart.” Through this, he aims to teach others that genuine care, a positive attitude, and personal investment can significantly enhance the dining experience. Listeners can expect captivating stories and insights from hospitality professionals across the USA and Canada. Each episode will delve into topics surrounding current operations in the industry, while also fostering discussions on shaping the future of hospitality. With a wealth of culinary stories spanning over 50 years, the podcast promises to engage listeners through laughter, tears, and surprising revelations. “Never a dull moment” is not just a motto; it’s a guarantee, and listeners should prepare for unexpected moments that may raise eyebrows. Join us this September for an exciting new journey into the heart of hospitality. Together, we can inspire, learn, and grow as we “Cook with Your Heart.” About: THINC³ Tank Media Network Hospitality Internships Evolves into The Hospitality Nexus™ and Launches THINC³ Tank Media: A New Era of Connection, Innovation, and Storytelling Begins Hospitality Internships - the pioneering platform that has helped thousands of students connect with real-world experience - is officially evolving into something far bigger.
