A conversation about burnout, leadership, mental health, and learning when to step away.
What begins with a glass of Chenin Blanc quickly turns into a deeper discussion about the pressure of always being available, the difficulty of switching off, and what happens when work, responsibility, and life start to feel overwhelming.
The episode explores burnout, anxiety, business ownership, building teams that can operate without you, and why so many people struggle to ask for help when they need it most.
Along the way, TK and Pete discuss friendship, showing up for people during difficult times, and the small acts of support that often matter far more than grand gestures.
An honest conversation about mental health, leadership, resilience, and the importance of remembering that nobody can be everything to everybody all the time.

Large pub groups, brewers, and investors are increasingly acquiring venues across Queensland, attracted by the combination of freehold property, gaming licences, bottle shops, and long-term asset growth.
This episode explores why hospitality businesses are becoming attractive investment vehicles, how scale creates competitive advantages, and what venue owners should understand about the value sitting inside their businesses.
The conversation also examines succession planning in family-owned hospitality groups, the challenges of passing businesses between generations, and the risks of inheriting success without experiencing the journey required to build it.
Along the way, the discussion touches on black-market alcohol, industry pressures, and the changing economics of hospitality ownership.
A conversation about business, legacy, growth, and what the future of Australian hospitality ownership may look like.
