S2 Episode 022 - Chef Brother Luck - From Being Top Chef To Being Brother Luck

We Recover Loudly - Serving Essential Hospitality Conversations

Wow, this episode is truly amazing! It was recorded late last year with the fantastic Chef Brother Luck, and we had a deep conversation about the power of vulnerability and sharing your story authentically to help others through their own struggles with pain, grief, or depression. Chef Brother Luck openly rejects the toxic chef lifestyle and attitudes often found in kitchens. He is dedicated to being the change he wants to see in the industry, emphasizing the importance of creating a positive workplace culture through trust and hard work. We also discussed the colleagues he has lost to alcohol misuse, the loneliness of addiction, and his own journey to sobriety.
We also discussed :
- The important of the early mentorship Brother Luck received, and how it ensured he was cooking at a high level from the early days.
- How he found his community of misfits in the early days, and that the connection really pushed him to be his best as he finally felt he fitted in.
- The importnace of the experience you gain through making mistakes
- What is 'culture' - How to communicate it, and how to live it. The danger of the team 'family'
- Brother Luck's incredibly progressive yet hard earnt management style, and the importnace of treating people as individiuals.
- His 'Resting Chef Face'
- The power of standing up and showing that being sober in this industry is a strength and not a weakness.
This conversation has only gotten better with age. Chef Brother Luck is truly a unique and beautiful soul, making a big impact on people's lives by bravely discussing mental health and addiction. He hosts a podcast called "No Lucks Given" which features inspiring episodes on self-improvement and personal development. Be sure to give it a listen and follow him on social media for more amazing inspiration. And don't forget to check out his fantastic book through the link below!
