Takeaways: 
  • Mentorship can be both formal and informal but should focus on genuine curiosity and openness.
  • Mentors should be prepared to guide mentees even if it means encouraging them to explore opportunities outside the current organization.
  • Beyond traditional metrics like growth and revenue, success includes the quality of relationships built, the impact made on others, and the experiences created.
  • There is a shift from "outdoor leisure" to "experiential hospitality," indicating a broader scope of creating immersive and engaging customer experiences.
  • Authenticity in development (not "faking the funk") leads to better financial performance and genuine neighborhood integration.
Quote of the Show:
  • “I think in all of our careers, it was, growth, revenue, profit, whatever other KPIs you could think of that are these metrics of what makes a business successful. But I think we all came to this really cool realization that it's also about relationships.” - Dan Ryan
