About Beyond The Burn Out
Host and Producer Colleen Silk
Since 2022, I have independently hosted and produced over twenty episodes of Hospitality Bites, with seven more in production, creating a global following. Some guests have included Michelin-starred and celebrity chefs, critically acclaimed restaurateurs, culinary literary and media professionals, and international hospitality mental health advocates.
With nearly twenty years of hospitality experience, I have blended my knack for storytelling and customer engagement to create a platform where industry professionals feel comfortable sharing their personal and professional journeys in a conversational setting. I am often praised for my ability to bring people out of their comfort zone and what they have typically experienced in usual interview or podcast settings.
Leaning into these skills, my work as a US Ambassador for The Burnt Chef Project and the ever-evolving landscape of the hospitality industry, Beyond The Burn Out, was created.
Beyond the Burn Out aims to bring the stories of hospitality professionals to your screens in an intimate conversational setting over a local meal here on the Eastern Shore of the Maryland and Delaware Beaches. On average, 4 out of 5 hospitality professionals acknowledge they have suffered some mental health or significant struggle while navigating the industry, and many feel like it went unnoticed, much like a slow burn. The goal is to remove the cloche and share their "war stories" of hospitality, successes and failures, learning experiences, and where they are now after the smoke has cleared—humanizing the industry.
