In this episode, I sit down with Mike Messeroff, a former bartender who traded the fast-paced hospitality grind for a life of mindfulness and personal freedom. We talk about his journey from working behind the bar to coaching people on how to slow down, reduce stress, and actually enjoy life.
Mike shares practical ways to avoid burnout, prioritize well-being, and rethink what success really means—especially in an industry that’s all about hustle. We also get into meditation, gratitude, and why so many people feel stuck in a cycle they don’t actually want to be in.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re just going through the motions and need a reset, this episode is for you.
