Episode 51 – Beyond Burnout: Rewriting Success in Events, Travel, and Hospitality with Mike Messeroff The events, travel, and hospitality industries are built on curating joy for others—but what happens when the professionals behind the experiences run out of joy themselves? In this episode, we sit down with Mike Messeroff, a former JetBlue leader turned transformational coach, who has walked away from corporate perks and global adventures only to discover the real key to thriving: presence, clarity, and self-hospitality. From managing partnerships at JetBlue Vacations to pouring cocktails in Breckenridge, Mike’s career journey reveals the hidden cost of “selling fun” while quietly burning out. Today, he helps executives, event planners, and hospitality leaders rewrite the script by treating themselves like their most honored guests. We explore: Why burnout is baked into the “programming” of events and hospitality professionals How mindfulness and micro-moments of presence can transform leadership on high-stress event days The difference between chasing fun and finding freedom in your career Why self-hospitality isn’t fluff—it’s the foundation for long-term success If you’ve ever wondered why the perks of the job don’t always equal fulfillment, or how to recalibrate without walking away from the industry you love, this conversation offers a practical blueprint for change.
