In this episode of Restaurant Owners Uncorked, Wil sits down with Chef Franck Desplechin, a French-born chef, pastry chef, and hospitality leader with over 26 years of global industry experience. Franck shares his journey from growing up in Brittany, France, to working in Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury hotels, and now stepping into authorship with his debut book Relentless Growth: Cultivating a Chef Mindset for Professional Fulfillment.The conversation explores the demanding world of Michelin-star standards, the importance of mentorship and leadership, the evolution of hospitality culture toward well-being and mental health, and why developing a growth mindset is essential for success in both restaurants and life. Franck also opens up about his process of writing the book, the challenges of publishing, and his mission to help the next generation of hospitality professionals embrace patience, resilience, and personal development.10 Key Takeaways Early Passion for Cooking – Franck discovered his love for the kitchen at 14, influenced by his parents' cooking and a sense of not fitting into traditional school systems. Michelin Star World – Achieving and maintaining Michelin recognition requires relentless pursuit of perfection, but consistency in experience, not just execution, is the true differentiator. The Pressure of Excellence – Working in Michelin-starred environments means high stress, peer pressure, and potential burnout—but also builds resilience and mental fortitude. Mentorship Matters – Franck's passion has evolved from cooking to coaching and mentoring, helping young chefs develop foundations, work ethic, and mindset. Book Mission: Relentless Growth – His debut book provides a blueprint for hospitality students and future leaders, emphasizing patience, adaptability, and the long-term pursuit of fulfillment. Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset – Inspired by Carol Dweck's Mindset, Franck emphasizes that talent alone isn't enough; embracing failure and reinvention is key to lasting success. Self-Publishing with Intention – Instead of chasing traditional publishing, Franck invested in editors, designers, and PR to create a high-quality self-published book that may later attract publishers. Leadership by Empowerment – Great chefs empower team members to create dishes, develop ownership, and grow into leaders themselves. Hospitality Lessons Beyond Restaurants – The principles of running a kitchen—communication, precision, resilience—apply to any industry and leadership role. Future Vision – Franck hopes to leverage his book to speak at seminars, conferences, and even TED Talks, helping transform hospitality culture while raising the standard of leadership.

Today I am speaking with Dave Chase from Health Rosetta, and I'm asking Dave Chase three inferno-level burning questions—questions that, across the country, many self-insured employers are trying to find the answers to. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Now, an important underlying point that comes across loud and clear but remains unsaid, actually, in the conversation that follows is this: There are amazing brokers and EBCs (employee benefit consultants) and benefits advisors or TPAs (third-party administrators) who put their clients first and have the receipts (ie, they have data and they're willing to share it to prove this). And then there are those with the exact same titles, often enough, who are very much the opposite of this but super charming, I'm sure. I mean, it'd be a stretch to assume that the same roles don't apply to brokers or EBCs that apply for titles like hospital administrators where there's great ones and really not great ones; but everybody often gets lumped into the same category or even the term hospitals. Each of these terms is a broad stroke and contains multitudes. And do listen to the bonus clip from two weeks ago with Jonathan Baran for just more on this point. We dig into it for like 10 minutes or something. I also talk about this same concept in an upcoming episode with Mick Connors, MD. So, keep that underlying and unsaid theme in mind because a lot of these questions do boil down to, How do you figure out who's on the up-and-up and who's not? And if you need an example of the latter category, listen to the show with Ann Lewandowski (EP476) about the whistleblower lawsuit or the show with AJ Loiacono (EP379) about the myriad of brokers taking $7 or $14 per script written payable by the PBM (pharmacy benefit manager) and not reported on, as far as I know. This is very much still going on today, by the way, despite the CAA (Consolidated Appropriations Act) and the 5500 forms. Alright, so, first burning question, Question 1: After seeing J&J (Johnson & Johnson) and Wells Fargo sued for fiduciary breaches, what specific questions do I need to ask my benefits advisor to prove that my benefits advisor actually protects my interests? Okay, paraphrased, this question is employers trying to figure out what they can ask or how they can figure out if their benefits advisor or broker or employee benefit consultant is really as trustworthy as they'd like you to believe they are. There's been a whole bunch of shows that circle up on this. The thing is, though, the stakes are very, very high right now. So, yeah, I can see why this is turning into a burning question for anyone worried they might get sued personally unless they can figure out how to vet, for real in writing, who their broker, EBC, or advisor serves actually at the end of the day. Question 2 that I ask Dave Chase, and I'm not giving you the answers to these questions. You gotta listen to the show. But here's the second question I ask: How do I avoid personal liability when my TPA contract has hidden conflicts that could trigger an ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) lawsuit? Kind of a continuation of Question 1, but yeah, you can tell that self-insured employer teams are really digging in here and many, many are very aware of, first of all, the extent and depth of middle people doing things like, again, allegedly taking $20 million of employer clients' money and funding their executive bonus pool. So, yeah, definitely this is another doozy of a burning question. Also on these same topics, listen to the show with Justin Leader (EP433) and also the one with Cynthia Fisher (EP457) about spread pricing. Question 3 that I ask Dave Chase: My pharmacy costs keep climbing despite PBM guarantees. How do I tell if I am being systematically overcharged? Well, if your consultants are taking your rebates to fund their executive bonus pools, as I just mentioned there's a whole show about with Ann Lewandowski, or if they're taking $7 a script for every script that gets written for your members, which, yeah, that's afoot. I've seen the contracts and the cease and desists currently flying around our industry about that one. Or read that Osceola County lawsuit against their longtime brokers. Bottom line and end of this intro, informed employer teams are, for sure, wondering these questions. But even more than just wondering, what these questions signify to me, kind of at the macro level, they're realizing the danger of kind of sitting on that knowledge or just assuming that because everybody else is doing whatever, it's somehow safe—though status quo is getting kind of more and more dicey every single day. As some additional foreshadowing, this show finishes up with Dave Chase talking about the open-source resources that are available so that you too can create a high-performance health plan where members get higher-quality healthcare and, as Dave Chase says, the cost savings for free. There are links to many things that you can get from Health Rosetta and their sister company, Nautilus. Again, all the stuff is for free. Go to nautilushealth.org. That's their main Web site. Dave Chase, who has been on this podcast—I think this is his third time, although it has been a while—Dave Chase is co-founder and CEO of Health Rosetta.

It's a hard nut to crack: in order to prevent food waste, we rely on plastic packaging and refrigeration, which harm the environment. What if we could turn to nature to address these challenges?

Almost all batteries, even single-use batteries, are theoretically rechargeable. That's because the metals and other chemicals are still there in the battery. So chemically speaking, a dead battery is actually not that different from a fresh one. Then why do batteries die in the first place? And what should you do with them once they're spent? George Zaidan digs into the science of batteries. [Directed by Luisa Holanda, narrated by George Zaidan, music by Gabriel Maia].

Sound the Alarm on Rising Fascism: Masha Gessen and Jason Stanley, leading experts on authoritarianism, warn of attacks on DEI, trans bodies, civil rights, and higher education, and discuss the need for a bold vision of a multi-ethnic democracy. ARE YOU AUDACIOUS?

Masha Gessen and Jason Stanley are two leading experts on autocracy, and they're sounding the alarm. They and their families have escaped totalitarian regimes and oppressive governments; today Gessen and Stanley are pulling back the curtain on the attacks against DEI, trans bodies, civil rights, higher education and more. Is authoritarianism here? Masha Gessen is an acclaimed Russian-American journalist, a Polk Award winning opinion writer for the New York Times and the author of "Surviving Autocracy" and “The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia.” Forced to leave Russia twice, in 2024, a Moscow court convicted them, in absentia to eight years in prison for their reporting on the war in Ukraine. Jason Stanley is a best-selling author and professor whose books include “Erasing History” and "How Fascism Works". He recently left his teaching position at Yale University to relocate to Canada with his family; noting that he is a child of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany. In this historic conversation — the first interview between Gessen and Stanley — the two explore how to be bold in our movements and envision a multi-ethnic democracy. Plus, a commentary from Laura.“What I see now is this regime shifting the self understanding of America, from having these democratic ideals . . . God knows they've been imperfect, to a self identity as loving the United States because we've had these great men in our past, and we've conquered the West, and we can punch you in the nose. And that's not a democratic project. That's like what Putin is doing in Russia.” - Jason StanleyGuests:• Masha Gessen: Opinion Columnist, The New York Times; Author, Surviving Autocracy; Distinguished Professor, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, CUNY• Jason Stanley: Author, Erasing History & How Fascism Works; Professor, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto Watch the special report released on YouTube; PBS World Channel August 15th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

What happens when your body completely shuts down—and no one can explain why? In this behind-the-scenes solo episode, Emily invites you into the real, raw, and honestly kind of ridiculous past few weeks of her life. From first-trimester exhaustion and creative burnout to a surprise trip to urgent care where she couldn't catch her breath, this is one of those “how is this my life right now?” updates… with a whole lot of insight and soul stirred in.This episode is less of a lesson and more of a late-night voice memo to a friend.

She talks about the Celtic “three cauldrons” energy system, the connection between grief and the lungs, the unexpected clarity that came through a spiritual healer, and why she's (reluctantly) learning to trust the timing of it all.You'll hear the behind-the-scenes of pushing back launches, juggling family life mid-chaos, coughing through conversations (and diapers—yes, plural), and why she's feeling more like herself than she has in months. This isn't a polished TED Talk—it's a real-time unraveling and remembering.So if you've been feeling off, burnt out, disconnected, or just craving a deeply human moment… this episode is here to remind you that your body is wise, the timing is divine, and the mess might just be where the magic begins.In this episode, I explore:The physical, emotional, and spiritual unraveling that led Emily to urgent care—and what it revealedHow grief is stored in the lungs (according to traditional Chinese medicine) and why that matters during illnessThe Celtic “three cauldrons” energy system and what it taught her about burnout, depletion, and creative shutdownWhat it feels like to be brought to your knees by pregnancy, and why this time was differentThe unexpected messages that came through from a spiritual healer—and what they revealed about the baby she's carryingHow ancestral energy, illness, and synchronicity can work together as a powerful invitation to surrenderThe role of somatic awareness in spiritual growth and how to start listening to the messages your body is trying to sendA loving reminder that burnout isn't a flaw—it's a signal that something deeper is asking to be felt, honored, and healedBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Sign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn...
