Service is what you do. Hospitality is how you make someone feel.

It’s a philosophy LAI exclusive speaker Kevin Boehm brought to life during his recent visit to our office.

Drawing from the experience of building 50 successful restaurants, the James Beard Award–winning restaurateur and co-founder of Boka Restaurant Group shared candid stories from his career and the lessons they’ve taught him about leadership, culture, reinvention, and creating experiences people remember.

Kevin also shared his perspective on what creates an “X factor” in business. Beyond the product or service itself, he showed how the art of hospitality can build loyalty and become a competitive advantage. He brings these lessons to the stage through personal storytelling and a fresh perspective on what it means to lead with purpose and make people feel genuinely cared for.

A golden hour well spent!

The LAI team gathered for a rooftop happy hour filled with food, drinks, games, and plenty of good company. It was a great chance to step away from our desks, enjoy the last days of summer, and spend some time together as a team.

Cheers to good people, great views, and an even better LAI crew!
