Ep 7 - unhospitality with Dee Torrealba: mirrors on the ceiling and respect for work-life boundaries

In this episode, Dee Torrealba shares her journey through some of the most iconic brands and destinations in FL and the Caribbean. I really admire Dee’s guiding philosophy that hospitality isn’t just about rooms and rates—it's about the connections we make along the way. From old friends we meet at kickoffs to clients who become family, those bonds are what define us.And here’s the kicker: when you focus on being authentic and caring, business naturally follows—no need for gimmicks or fake smiles.Maybe it’s time we all remember that behind every deal, there’s a person.I also love the Dee pushes back on the slow creep of work-life balance becoming work-life imbalance. In fact, she shares an interesting story from the Netherlands, where they’ve mastered the art of boundaries. A guy working for a US company made it clear: after 5 PM, he’s OFF the clock! ⏰  Let’s keep talking about the importance of respecting personal time. Are you setting boundaries in your work life? How do YOU nurture real connections in your work?
