FRANCK DESPLECHIN: RELENTLESS GROWTH / REFLECTION / PURSUIT OF GROWTH

This week, I sit down with Chef Franck Desplechin — someone who’s spent decades in Michelin-starred kitchens and luxury hotels but has taken a step back to focus on what really matters. We talk about his new book Relentless Growth, but more importantly, we talk about what growth actually costs. Franck gets into burnout, ego, family, leadership, and what it means to build a life—not just a resume. This one’s for anyone who’s ever hit a wall, looked around, and realized success doesn’t always feel the way you thought it would.
