Podcast Overview

Raw Podcast by Lightspeed & POH- A podcast series about the highs and lows of running a hospitality business. Each episode our host, Shaun de Vries, will conduct off-the-cuff, unscripted and uncensored interviews with the best in the industry. They’ll discuss their experiences, what they’ve had to sacrifice or overcome to achieve their success, and what keeps them pushing forwards in an industry that has a tendency to both wear down and excite in equal measure. The guests will leave everything in the open, showing that even though they may enjoy a success that seems out of reach to most, they too had to work hard to get there and we all start from the same place. Our main aim with RAW is to show, through the shared experiences of our guests, that we all have had to put in the same hard yards. And regardless of the size or scale of your operation we, as members of the industry, all have to work together to build a better industry than ever before.
