If so, you’re not alone, and maybe it’s time to rethink what success really means.In today’s busy world, we often measure success by how hard we work, how much we accomplish, or how fast we move. But what if true success also means knowing when to stop, breathe, and play?On this episode of Play Hard, I explore the power of balancing hard work with joyful play—how making time for fun, rest, and creativity can actually fuel your purpose and passion. Set against soothing jazz melodies, this episode offers a calm space to clear your mind and refocus on what really matters.As you listen, consider these questions:When was the last time I played just for the joy of it?How does making space for play change the way I show up in my work and life?What small steps can I take today to bring more balance and joy into my routine?Take a moment for yourself, tune in, breathe deeply, and rediscover what it means to live fully by working hard and playing hard.Musical selections include You look so good Marcus H.

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. So tune in
