Life's greatest lessons often come from the most unexpected places. Meet, Alan Jacobs, a globally recognized hospitality maestro, who has an extraordinary tale to tell. From managing the world's finest clubs to his daunting experience of being trapped in China during the pandemic, Alan's journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster. Imagine being caught amidst a global crisis, contracting COVID, and enduring a stroke thousands of miles away from home. Yet, there is so much more to his tale. Listen as Alan lays bare his reflections on how his priorities shifted and how his background in the club industry prepared him to face these crises with great courage and resilience. 

The second part of our conversation with Alan speaks volumes about his unyielding spirit. Imagine being told you won't see your thirties, but instead, you turn the tables and rise to be a successful cruise director managing elite clubs worldwide. Alan's fight included undergoing eight brain surgeries, yet his resolve never wavered. He reminds us how precious life is and urges us all to prioritize self-care. Despite his struggles, he remains steadfast in his faith and a role model for his daughter, encouraging perseverance in the face of adversity. Alan's experiences post-stroke and his newfound responsibility to raise awareness will move you deeply. Join us as we navigate Alan's remarkable journey of resilience, gratitude, and self-awareness.
