In this episode of Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Jon Taffer, America’s hospitality authority, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and the force behind one of television’s most enduring reality franchises, Bar Rescue.
Season 10 of Bar Rescue premieres Sunday, February 22 at 10 PM ET/PT on Paramount Network, marking a major milestone for the hit series. For ten seasons, Jon has stepped into failing businesses, broken systems, emotional chaos, and high-pressure environments — transforming not just bars, but leadership, culture, and accountability.
This season raises the stakes even higher with special guest appearances from *NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick and professional wrestler and actress Mercedes Varnado, bringing new energy and perspective to the rescues.
In this conversation, Linda and Jon dive into what it really takes to rescue more than a business. They talk about leadership under pressure, the role of conflict in growth, resilience in the face of chaos, and what separates thriving brands from those that collapse under their own ego.
This episode is about comebacks, standards, accountability, and the courage to confront what is broken.

You cannot fix a business until you fix the leadership behind it.
Conflict handled correctly is growth in disguise.
Systems fail when standards fail.
You cannot save someone who does not want to be saved.
Standards are not suggestions. They are commitments.
