What if hospitality workers could find a healthy balance between their demanding jobs and personal well-being? Chapters: 00:00:08 - Supporting Hospitality Leaders 00:08:58 - Creating Project Angel Shot 00:15:33 - Preventing Sexual Violence in Restaurants Blaine Bailey from In the Weeds joins us to share how his nonprofit is reshaping the lives of hospitality staff in Southwest Colorado by offering resources such as yoga classes and outdoor activities. During our conversation, Blaine reveals his inspiring journey in co-founding the organization and how the pandemic highlighted the dire need for such support. We explore the comprehensive approach In the Weeds takes to enhance the mental, physical, financial, and social well-being of those working tirelessly in the hospitality industry. Safety in social settings is just as crucial, and Brian Williams from the Sexual Assault Services Organization (Saso) offers insights into innovative measures to prevent sexual violence. Discover how Project Angel Shot—a program allowing individuals to discreetly signal for help in bars—was born from a passionate advocate's vision and is now a critical tool in promoting safer environments. We dig into the challenges faced by restaurant and bar owners in combating drug-facilitated crimes and highlight the vital role of community engagement, training, and awareness in fostering secure spaces for both patrons and employees. Join us as we set new standards for safety and support in the hospitality sector.
