from Office Hours with David Meltzer
Bart Berkey is a keynote speaker, bestselling author, and former Ritz-Carlton executive with over 35 years of experience in hospitality, sales, and leadership. He is the founder of Most People Don’t, LLC and host of the podcast Most People Don’t… But YOU Do!, where he teaches practical leadership frameworks that shift interactions from transactional to transformational. His work blends emotional intelligence, storytelling, and real-world application to help people improve how they lead, communicate, and connect by doing what most people don’t. After surviving a heart attack in his 50s, Bart underwent a deep personal reset that reshaped how he defines success and leadership. He now focuses on helping people slow down, be present, and reconnect with others, especially in moments of pressure or overwhelm. His core message, “Be Where Your Feet Are,” emphasizes the power of presence and the “warm welcome” as the foundation of strong relationships in leadership, sales, parenting, and life. Debra Russell is a business coach and speaker with over 20 years of experience helping entrepreneurs in the arts, entertainment, sports, and creative industries turn their passions into profitable, sustainable businesses. She specializes in helping clients systemize their operations, increase productivity, and build businesses that support their lives rather than overwhelm them. Her approach is practical, energetic, and focused on clarity and execution, with speaking experience across global stages including SXSW. Her perspective on productivity was deeply shaped by personal experience, including a chronic illness that left her bedridden for three years and ultimately led her to leave the film industry and become a coach. She later earned her MBA at age 61 and now teaches simple systems designed to eliminate overwhelm, improve decision-making, and help people end their day with clarity and accomplishment rather than unfinished tasks and stress.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
