Going to California - Avi Brosh - Episode # 038
Avi Brosh is the CEO and Founder of Palisociety. At his core, he is a modern day inn keeper. He’s been involved in real estate and hospitality for over 30 years. He joins host Dan Ryan to talk about his #hospitality journey all the way from a small school in New Jersey all the way to Malibu, California.
Takeaways:
- It’s better to get up earlier and accomplish some goals earlier in the day. It’s a good way to work and sets you apart from others.
- Hotels should be able to tell a story about their place. It can make the stay at the hotel feel more like a home and you feel connected with it.
- You want to manufacture an environment that doesn’t actually feel manufactured. The environment should feel like it is inviting and it all feels natural.
- It’s not easy to create something that makes you feel a certain type of way. It can be a difficult process but it is rewarding in the end.
- Every kind of hospitality is different. Once you find your style of hospitality, it needs to be something that you can do repeatedly and consistently.
- You need to have an uncompromising vision. Once you have an idea in your head, go for it and make that dream a reality.
- If you are going through a tough spot, you have to keep going. You need to keep believing in yourself and keep going.
Quote of the Show:
36:31 “I'm very particular at our hotels and restaurants and what have you that It's a certain kind of hospitality, which is not the same hospitality you would get at a four seasons in Paris. It's different then the motel six off a highway in Cincinnati. You have to decide what it is that you want to deliver in terms of the style of hospitality you want to deliver.”
