Hospitality is Being Selfless - Ron Swidler

It takes many hours to become an expert in a certain area, but it also takes a certain amount of luck as well.

Surround yourself with people that you trust that can be advisors or mentors. That way when you start a new project you’ll have a supporting cast helping you.

It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and admit when you need help. Asking for help isn’t a terrible thing to be ashamed of, it’s what a good leader does.

Hospitality has evolved into noticing how you make people feel. When we are at our best we are caring for others.

There is a bit of selflessness in hospitality, as it is about giving back to others and making others feel comfortable and welcomed.

You need a signature for your company. You need something that when someone thinks of your company, they have an image in mind that fits your brand (i.e. Disney and Mickey Mouse or Cinderella's Castle).

Bringing people’s attention to a better way to do projects (i.e. sustainability, community focus, etc.) is important as you can influence someone to have a better impact on a community.
