🎙️EXPITALITY TIME ☕️Embracing the Warmth: The Role of Fire in Creating Community and Connection in Outdoor Hospitality
Have you ever gathered around a fire and felt an instant connection with the people beside you? This week, let's embark on a journey to explore the magnetic draw of fire in creating community and warmth in outdoor hospitality. From innovative heated outdoor chairs to unique fireplaces, we discuss creative ways to integrate the elemental allure of fire into your hospitality spaces, ensuring your guests always have a cozy spot to gather and share stories.
Outdoor hospitality thrives on the pillars of creativity and innovation. Heated outdoor chairs, unique fireplaces, and versatile fire pits are just a few of the elements that can elevate an outdoor space from a mere location to a destination of warmth and connection. Even in the most unexpected climates, from snowy mountainsides to breezy beaches, the inclusion of fire features can transform an environment, inviting guests to linger, engage, and share their stories.
Yet, the impact of fire extends beyond its physical presence. It serves as a metaphor for the hospitality industry itself—a catalyst for kindling friendships and igniting camaraderie among strangers. The episode delves into personal anecdotes and shared experiences that highlight how simple acts of warmth can uplift both the giver and the receiver. Michelle's musings from a cloudy day in Colorado remind us that sometimes, we must bring our own sunshine, and often, that means fostering the glow of community.
Listeners are encouraged to share their experiences with fire in outdoor spaces, whether it be innovative designs they've encountered or personal practices that have brought people together. This exchange of ideas is not just about showcasing creativity; it's about inspiring others to think outside the box and incorporate the elemental charm of fire into their own spaces.

Please make sure you subscribe with the notification button so you can hear from Talk About TV and Podcasts every week. Hello everyone, this is Michelle Oliver. It is Expatiality Time.
Speaker 1:That just means that it's Friday and I'm the founder of a company called Expatiality and we create extraordinary experiential outdoor hospitality businesses because hospitality transforms the world, and that is a fact, and today it's really kind of a rare you got to bring your own sunshine day. In Colorado, we hardly ever have these cloudy, kind of gloomy days, but today is one, and so here's what's on my mind today that I want to find out from you all what you think. One of the things when we're working with people like with the lodging side of things and my focus is on the FF&E right, so I'm always looking at what's going on inside these unique accommodations One thing I think is really missing at a lot of places is fireplaces, which are essential on a day like today, especially when you're really used to the sunshine and you live off solar energy, and then it's gone and you're seeking, like that, warm hub. So, in all seriousness, though, one of the most valuable things you can do with outdoor hospitality is to provide a connection for your guests with the elements, and one of those elements is fire, and in a climate where it can be chilly, snowy, freezing, cold, wet, damp, and even if you're just on the beach and it gets chilly at night, fire is the gathering place, it's the hearth. So I'm curious how many of you are incorporating the element of fire into your outdoor, experiential outdoor hospitality space?
Speaker 1:Of course, the campfire is the golden standard, but the way we can incorporate fire pits now, even on the outdoor portion of these smaller units that we have, is extraordinary. There's so many creative things you can do and bringing heat and warmth. So we've discovered these extraordinary heated outdoor chairs and lounge chairs and kind of like love seats, I guess you would call it, and a huge variation on outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, actually even the stone fireplaces, and these are gathering spots. So even if you have I know you've all been to the coffee shops and the breweries where we've got the you know the outdoor heaters Well, now there are little miniature fire pits, and it's just a beautiful way to bring warmth and a sense of community, a place for people to gather.
Speaker 1:So tell me, tell me, where have you seen this? Show me some really cool fire everything fire pits, fireplaces, some creative ways that you've seen this done. I would be most delighted to see. And today I'm always seeking warmth if it's through running, sprinting, hiking up a freezing hill or gathering around a fire when there's no sun. So we all seek that community and that warmth. All right, those are my observations of the day. From Colorado, on a Friday, I hope you all have a beautiful, extraordinary weekend. Go out there and be hospitable, do something for someone else, bring some grace, some light, some inspiration, some kindness to someone else, and that will uplift you as well. Lots of love, ciao, for now.
