Episode 45: Paul Finn
When Paul Finn was a touring musician, restaurant and bar gigs were a perfect fit for his ever-changing schedule, and his gregarious personality. He found it useful to approach the job as another form of performance, but worried about the toll that took. Finn heard over and over that servers and bartenders should just check everything at the door, but thought, "If you're not bringing your personal life to work, you're not bringing yourself to work." Drawing from his deep hospitality background (he's currently the GM at Garage cocktail bar in Austin, Texas), he developed the Personal Mise en Place system to set up each day for success, and is now ready to share it with folks in the industry and beyond.
