from Backstory Sessions · host backstorysessions

Sometimes love begins in the most ordinary places… over coffee, across a table, in the middle of an ordinary day at Panera.   In this episode of Backstory Sessions: Love Stories, Kim and Marty share the story of how a simple meeting turned into something neither of them expected—but both of them needed. What started as conversation became connection. What began as chance became choice.   Their story is filled with the quiet moments where trust is built, laughter returns, and two lives slowly begin to weave together. It’s about recognizing something familiar in someone new—and having the courage to see where it leads.   This episode reminds us that love doesn’t always arrive with grand gestures. Sometimes it shows up with coffee, conversation, and the willingness to stay a little longer.   🎙 Guests: Kim and Marty ☕ Where it all began: Panera Because sometimes the place you stopped for a moment… becomes the place everything changed.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
