The Podcast.

All service-oriented realms of life, whether personally or professionally, can be elevated to your own self-mastery laboratory. And the art of service can be pulled into your life as a means of being more mindful, effective and fulfilled human.  On this show, every dimension of service and hospitality is explored - from the artistic to the technical to the cultural to the deeper more undefinable aspects of the human experience.  More meaning, purpose and power is brought to work that we would normally dismiss as "lowly" - like being a waiter in a restaurant. I'll be speaking with inspired people of service, studying cultures that consider service a way of life, and just generally giving you tools, mindfulness-inspired techniques and reflections from my years of experience in the trenches.

The Blog.

Learn from my career as a "hospitality geek", meditation teacher and practitioner of the Zen Way of Tea (“Cha Dao”).  Throughout the years I’ve collected knowledge, techniques and entertaining stories that have helped make every moment in service - and, consequently, living life - more meaningful and effective than I ever imagined.

About Me.


My main mission is to bring principles of mindfulness and conscious living into the grit and grime of service life. Firstly, because I believe things like serving tables in a restaurant teaches us everything we need to know about mindfulness and self-mastery. And secondly because every avenue of life can be upgraded when you implement a "mindful service mindset”. I hope to reveal to people how any form of work (even the so-called "drudgery" of waiting tables) can be your personal monastery.  Every avenue of life can be upgraded when you implement a "mindful service mindset".  Find out why I say such things.
