What does it really take to build one of the most iconic hospitality brands in the world, and what happens when you walk away?
In this episode I sit down with Martin Kuczmarski, the former COO of Soho House, who was the mastermind behind the scale of the brand into a global lifestyle empire known for its exclusivity, culture, and community.
From launching clubs across three continents to defining the playbook for modern hospitality, Martin was the man behind the operations of one of the world’s coolest brands.
But success came with a price.
In this raw and revealing conversation, Martin opens up about the pressure, burnout, and the personal identity shift that comes with leaving the top.
He shares why he walked away, and how that decision led him to create something new on his own: The Dover, one of London’s most successful restaurants.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🟠 The unseen realities of scaling a lifestyle brand
🟠 Why operational excellence alone doesn’t build culture
🟠 How burnout forced him to rethink success
🟠 The emotional toll of leadership, and what it really costs
🟠 How he’s applying 20+ years of experience to build London’s trendiest restaurant, The Dover
🟠 What he’d do differently if he had to start all over again
This episode is about brand-building, leadership, reinvention, and the freedom to start over, no matter how high you’ve already climbed.
