Episode 3. Meet Nathan Toleman.  From running Australia's most iconic venues to focusing on meditation and mental health. The more successful Nathan becomes the more he wants to give back and do for the community and hospitality industry. He talks about why he decided to sell the famous kettle black, higher ground and Top paddock, how important culture is, why saying no to new opportunities  is sometimes more important than saying yes and why his new venue  the common ground project, is the most important thing he will ever do in the hospitality industry.

TABLE FOR TWO: Episode 3: Meet Nathan Toleman

Nathan Toleman is one of Melbourne's most dynamic restaurateurs. With wife Sarah, he's progressed from a suburban cafe 13 years ago through a series of increasingly ambitious businesses that have culminated in Hazel and Dessous in Flinders Lane. Nathan puts mental wellbeing front and centre in his business culture, with meditating and farming part of the routine, though he admits he's finding it a challenge to meditate his way through the COVID times. We talk about struggling with uncertainty, the perils of lockdown and the benefits of turning mental health into a habit, just like flossing.

Nathan Toleman (Hazel, Dessous) - turning mental health into a habit

The hospitality industry has traditionally gone hand in hand with mental health issues. From late nights, stressful days, lack of daylight and sometimes a reliance on drug and alcohol to sustain people, it can take its toll. Nathan Toleman is changing all that. Gary Mehigan chats with Nathan, the owner of several of Melbourne’s most iconic cafes (Top Paddock, Higher Ground, Kettle Black) about his new venture, Common Ground - a farm and cafe just outside of Melbourne where chefs and hospitality workers can go to re-wild themselves and connect with the land, all while growing and harvesting their own veggies to be used in their dishes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
