Great to see you, Johnny, as always.
Hey, guys. Lovely to see you. Thanks so much, Matt.
So today we're joined by Mike Conan, who is an exec coach and a successful executive working in the hospitality sector with a focus on supporting services businesses to drive the right culture and focus on client service.

So I guess as is customary on our podcast, we like to kick things off with a bit of something interesting that's happened in your past week. So Mike, maybe I'll come to you first. What's been going on in your week that you could share with our audience, maybe provide a bit of inspiration?
Well, I have an impression that I'm going to be the odd fish out here, but that's fine. Why is that?
