#10 Shake Sh*t up

Toni Calderone, CEO of ONE Hospitality, joins Meg and Bill for a conversation about mission, purpose, vision, and small business. The episode places these subjects in the context of 2020, asking what it takes for a small business to thrive in that year. Toni’s leadership role establishes the business perspective she brings, while the discussion’s named themes move beyond a company title to questions about direction and the reasons behind the work.

Mission, purpose, and vision provide related but distinct ways to think about running a business: what it sets out to do, why that work matters, and where it intends to go. Those are the explicit topics around which the conversation is organized. Alongside them sits the practical question of thriving as a small business in 2020. Meg and Bill’s discussion with Toni brings that question together with the broader language of business direction, making the episode a focused exchange about leadership, intention, and the circumstances facing small businesses.
