Led by MIBE Founders

Anthony & April Lambatos

Anthony and April Lambatos are the dynamic husband-and-wife duo behind Footers Catering and the visionary co-founders of MIBE (Make It Better Everyday). Together, they’ve built a nationally recognized legacy of heart-led leadership, transforming businesses, teams, and lives through the power of culture, connection, and purpose.

After purchasing Footers Catering from Anthony’s father in 2010, the two reimagined the family business into one of Colorado’s most celebrated workplaces, earning repeated “Best Places to Work” honors, quadrupling revenue, and creating a thriving people-first organization known for extraordinary hospitality and innovation. Their leadership expanded beyond catering with the launch of Social Capitol Event Venue and, in 2019, MIBE – a movement dedicated to helping leaders build workplaces where people truly flourish.

April, affectionately known as the “Head Honcho of Happiness,” blends operational brilliance with deep compassion, creating environments where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow. Anthony is an award-winning speaker and culture strategist whose passion for heart-led leadership has inspired organizations across the country to lead with authenticity, vulnerability, and purpose.

Together, Anthony and April have become beloved leaders in the hospitality and leadership space, known not only for what they’ve built, but for how they make people feel. At every MIBE Retreat, they create transformative experiences filled with meaningful connection, courageous conversations, unforgettable fun, and practical tools that help leaders become better every day.
