Ep # 258 - Today, I'm bringing back an exciting and popular prior guest, Horst Schulze, the chairman and CEO of Capella Hotel Group, for an incredible "Part 2" follow-up conversation. As a reminder, Horst Schulze is the original founding president of the Ritz Carlton and he's one of the hotel industry's most influential people. During his time with the the Ritz Carlton, Horst reimagined hotel customer service and many of the policies he created went on to become industry norms across the world. In 1991, Horst was recognized as "corporate hotelier of the world" by HOTELS magazine and a few years later he received the Ishikawa Medal for his personal contributions to improving quality standards across the industry. Horst served as vice chairman of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company from 2001-2002, after serving as president and COO of The Ritz-Carlton Group since 1988. Under his leadership, the Group was awarded the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award twice which they received in the years 1992 and 1999. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company became the first and only hotel company to win one of these awards. Under his leadership, Ritz-Carlton was continuously voted “best hotel company in the world” by meeting and other trade publications. Upon joining Ritz-Carlton as a charter member and VP of Operations in 1983, Horst created the operating and service standards that have become world famous. He was appointed EVP in 1987 and president and COO in 1988. When he left Ritz-Carlton to form the Capella Hotel Group, Horst was responsible for the $2 billion Ritz-Carlton operations worldwide. Prior to his long tenure with Ritz-Carlton, Horst spent nine years with Hyatt Hotels Corporation. There, he served as a hotel general manager, a regional VP, and a corporate VP. Before Hyatt, he also had worked for Hilton Hotels. Horst serves on the boards of Reliance Trust Company, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, The Travel Institute, Georgia Family Council and The InfiLaw System. He has a wealth of knowledge on the hotel and service industries as well as unique insights into achieving business excellence. In fact, the title of his book is called "Excellence Wins." I'm excited to welcome Horst back onto The Driven Entrepreneur for round 2 of our conversation covering his career, his business philosophies and his thoughts on what drives entrepreneurs to success. The recurring theme of this episode is that "excellence is never an accident" and you will not want to miss this powerful dialogue.    Contact Horst Schulze and Get His Book: To contact Horst Schulze to ask him questions, book him to speak, or any other reason, text the word HORST to the phone number 797979.

Ep #248 - This week on The Driven Entrepreneur podcast, I sit down with Josh Landan, a craft brewing entrepreneur who recently founded Ashland Hard Seltzer following a nine-figure exit from Saint Archer Brewing Company.  Josh co-founded Saint Archer in 2013 and sold the company to Coors in 2015. Before entering the craft brewing space, Josh Landan started his career as a storyteller working behind the lens. He filmed, directed, wrote and produced films and documentaries featuring some of the world's top surfers, snowboards and skateboarders. His passion for bringing his athlete friends' stories to life inspired him to later bring the story of craft brewing to life through launching Saint Archer Brewing Co. and later both Harland Brewing Co. and Ashland Hard Seltzer.  Being a trend spotter, Josh recognized that his friends were developing a taste for hard seltzer and saw an opportunity for create something different. He wanted to tell a new story and Ashland Hard Seltzer became his conduit. The story of Ashland is one where its products are brewed to bring people together. It unites people from all backgrounds and various walks of life, so they can now share moments and create stories as one. As Josh says, "Moments are fleeting. Stories live forever." In this podcast interview, Josh and I discuss his initial transition from filmmaking to craft beer, raising $3M in capital with zero experience in the industry or with fund raising and his recent transition from beer to seltzer. Josh describes how the growing health consciousness in America has helped expand the seltzer market and how he's leveraged this trend to quickly grow this new venture. It's a powerful entrepreneurial success story that you simply won't want to miss.   Learn More About Josh Landan's Company, Ashland Hard Seltzer:   Visit the Ashland Hard Seltzer Website: https://www.ashlandhardseltzer.com/     Follow Josh Landan and Ashland Hard Seltzer on Social Media:   Follow Ashland Hard Seltzer on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/ashlandhardseltzer/   Follow Josh Landan on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/joshlandan_/     Whether you are new to 'The Driven Entrepreneur' podcast or a recurring fan, please help out by rating, reviewing and subscribing to the show on Apple Podcasts or wherever you prefer to listen.

Ep #232 - Tyler Carter, or "TC" as his friends call him, is a 2x Paralympian in Alpine Skiing. Tyler lost his right leg below the knee at the age of one due to the congenital condition Fibular Hemimelia, which means he was born without the fibula bone. Not letting this deter him, he participated in various sports and activities while growing up including basketball, swimming, tennis, dance, and karate. He eventually found his true calling in the form of alpine skiing. Thanks to a combined effort from the Pennsylvania Center for Adapted Sports and the National Sports Center for the Disabled, Tyler fell in love with skiing and quickly moved up in the standings. After being awarded a scholarship to attend and spectate the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games, a dream was formed to compete at the games and represent Team USA. Four years later Tyler had his chance when he was named to the 2014 United States Paralympic Team that would compete in Sochi, Russia. Since then, he has competed at the 2015 World Championships, World Cups and the 2018 Pyeongchang Paralympic Games with some Top 20 and Top 15 finishes to his name. While ski racing is a major part of Tyler's life it is not the only passion he has. Tyler has a huge heart and is a strong believer in giving back to communities. He volunteers with various organizations promoting living healthy and active lifestyles among youth, individuals with disabilities and many more.   Learn More About Tyler Carter:   Donate to Tyler Carter's Paralympics Journey at: http://www.tcskiusa.com/   Follow Tyler on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/tcskiusa/   Follow Tyler on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/tcski2014   Whether you are new to The Driven Entrepreneur Podcast or are a fan, please don't forget to rate, review and subscribe to the show.

Ep #231 - This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Denise Gosnell, a serial entrepreneur, business strategist, productivity hacker, attorney, author, and real estate investor. Denise owns 3 companies: a coaching/training company, a law firm, and a real estate company. Through her company, The Vacation Effect, Inc. (www.vacationeffect.com), Denise helps busy entrepreneurs learn how to use unconventional scheduling and growth strategies to grow their business even faster by working up to 40% less.   In fact, those same strategies are what allow Denise to work an average of 3 days per week running her 3 companies in 3 different industries, while having 2 business days per week for any creative or other pursuits she desires.  But life wasn’t always like this for Denise.  She used to be a workaholic who worked 70-80 per hours per week, until a house fire and some emergency surgeries gave her an attitude adjustment about the importance of living life in the “now”.  She then stumbled onto the secret of what she now calls “Growth By Subtraction” after those incidents. Denise is an 8-time author and has been featured in dozens of media outlets over the years, from television, radio, newspaper, magazines, blogs, and more.  She also has a new book coming out in 2020 called “The Vacation Effect”. In this week's interview, we go into the principles of 'The Vacation Effect' and how entrepreneurs can get back their time by implementing a few key strategies to shift their focus and priorities. This is a must listen for any business owners or professionals that want to get more done in less time.

Ep #230 - Earlier this year, I met Shawn Swick, a young entrepreneur that shared a powerful story about losing a high school classmate to suicide and how the experience inspired him to study the subjects of positivity and happiness so he could prevent other people from experiencing the same fate. Shawn, still just 17 years old, now helps other high school students and young adults to become more positive, happy, strong and productive.    In this conversation, I explore Shawn's upbringing, what he's learned from his research on positivity and how parents, peers and teachers can do more to recognize signs of suicide or depression so they can address them in a healthy way.   Learn More About Shawn Swick:   Visit Shawn Swick's website at: http://shawnswick.com/   Take the Positivity Quiz at: http://shawnswick.com/index.php/positivity-quiz/   Listen to Shawn's podcast, "Positivity School," at: http://shawnswick.com/index.php/podcast/   Follow Shawn on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/shawn.swick/   Whether you are new to The Driven Entrepreneur Podcast or are a fan, please don't forget to rate, review and subscribe to the show.

Ep #229 - This week on the show, I have a powerful interview and message to share from a hugely inspiring guest, Eric Lupton. Eric is the President of Life Saver Pool Fence, a company initially started by his family, which he joined in an admin and marketing capacity back in 1997.   Having previously owned a boutique web design firm, his first work was bolstering Life Saver’s web presence, an area he oversees directly to this day. He became the company’s Executive Vice President in 2002, managing many of the company’s day-to-day operations, before taking over as President in early 2006 with the retirement of the company’s founder, and his father, Robert Lupton.   Eric has been featured as an expert in two New York Times Best Sellers on writing effective marketing copy and his thoughts on online marketing have been quoted by publications including the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. These days, Eric is mostly sought after and interviewed by the media as an expert on pool safety. A lifelong pool safety advocate, Eric serves on the Board of Directors for the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) and was unanimously voted to take over as the NDPA Vice President in 2016. Eric also started, personally manages, and contributes to the largest pool safety page on Facebook, Pool Safety for Children, which has over 15,000 followers.   Eric manages all of this while living with a severe disability, cerebral palsy, caused by a brain injury during birth, that requires him to use an electric wheelchair and need help for many day-to-day tasks. His symptoms are almost identical to those that can be experienced by near-drowning survivors. Fortunately, neither his speech or his intellect were affected.   Learn More About Eric Lupton and Lifesaver Pool Fence:   Visit the Lifesaver Pool Fence company website and get the FREE Comprehensive Pool Safety Guide: https://poolfence.com/pool-safety-guide/   Follow Eric's Pool Safety Pages on Social Media:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PoolSafetyForChildren/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifesaverpoolfence/   Whether you are new to The Driven Entrepreneur Podcast or are a fan, please don't forget to rate, review and subscribe to the show.

Ep #227 - This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Brandon Lyons, a Paralympian that has fought through incredible adversity to reach the precipice of the next Olympic Games.  Following graduation from Penn State University in 2012, Brandon Lyons began his career with the professional services firm of Ernst & Young (EY) in the greater Washington, D.C. area. During his first year as a consultant for the Big 4 firm, Lyons was recognized as the Supply Chain Rookie of the Year. His professional career was off to a great start, but that would quickly change. On May 24, 2014, Lyons dove into shallow water breaking his T5/T6 vertebrae and leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Lyons quickly took on this new challenge and returned to work at EY just four months after his accident, and even completed a marathon just five months after the date of his injury. He relocated to San Diego in 2016 to be closer to an advanced rehabilitation gym, which is where he found his passion for handcycling. He was introduced to former Ironman world champion David Bailey, and the two would ride the coast of southern California together as Bailey pushed Lyons to go faster. In March 2017, Lyons would be invited to a tryout at the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center to earn a spot in the residence program. Lyons was awarded a spot as the first handcyclist in the residence program and would relocate to Colorado Springs, Colorado exactly three years after the date of his injury on May 24, 2017. Lyons made his first national team in 2019 and continues to work for EY.    Learn More About Brandon Lyons:   Check out Brandon Lyons' profile on the Team USA website: https://www.teamusa.org/para-cycling/athletes/Brandon-Lyons   Follow Brandon Lyons on Social Media:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brandon.lyons.125   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iron.lyons/   Whether you are new to The Driven Entrepreneur Podcast or are a fan, please don't forget to rate, review and subscribe to the show.

Ep #226 -It's time for Part 2 of my two part interview with Joel Manby, the former President, CEO and Director of SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment. This week on the show, Joel and I discuss leadership and specifically what he learned while managing SeaWorld through a crisis and transformation series.   As the head of SeaWorld, he controlled a $1.4 billion entertainment company with well-known brands such as SeaWorld Parks, Bush Gardens Parks and Discovery Cove. For over a decade, Joel also served as President & CEO of Herschend Enterprises, the largest family-owned theme park and entertainment company in the United States with popular brands such as the Harlem Globetrotters and Dolly Parton’s Dollywood theme park.   Even further back, Joel spent 20 years in the auto industry in general management and marketing roles, primarily in General Motors’ Saturn and Saab divisions. Joel served as CEO of Saab Automobile USA from 1996 to 2000, during which Saab experienced the best sales result in its 50+ year U.S. history. In addition, he was CEO of Amazon’s car selling partner, which was sold to CarsDirect.com in 2001.   Joel received an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and a B.S. from Albion College. As valedictorian of Albion College, Joel was a Rhodes scholarship finalist, academic all-American and two sport collegiate athlete. Joel is currently the non-executive Chairman of Orange, a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and distribution of student, youth, and next generation curriculum to over 7,000 churches in 40+ countries. He has held that position for over 20 years. In addition to his duties as chairman of Orange, Joel consults and speaks around the world on the topic of leadership, the story of leading during SeaWorld's transformation and on his book, "Love Works."   Manby wrote “Love Works" to describe how to integrate “love the verb” into the leadership ethos and philosophy of any organization. This approach has been systematically proven to create organizations with lower turnover, higher employee engagement, more satisfied customers, and stronger profits. "Love Works" has sold over 100,000 copies since its’ release, and a new expanded and updated version is being released in 2020.   This is an incredibly accomplished guest with a mountain of corporate leadership experience at the highest level.

Ep #223 - This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Opher Brayer and Mark Hirsch to discuss a unique education platform called 'Games of Genius' that teaches children the foundations of how to learn. Opher, a world-famous talent coach and educator, developed this program for parents of children aged 4 and up, because the educational system hasn't changed in decades. It fails to prepare our kids for a world where robots and AI will outperform humans and replace many of the jobs that exist today. The games you’ll discover on Games of Genius have turned poor performers into stars, transformed schools around the world and enabled Opher's son to attend college at age 13.   Mark is a highly accomplished executive with a string of successes in new and existing venture start-ups, product development, sales and marketing. He's a strategy-driven business leader with 20+ years of experience across multiple industry verticals spanning e-commerce, financial publishing, information products, public relations, and more. With Opher as his partner, Mark is aiming to take the 'Games of Genius' platform to a worldwide audience and turn it into a household name.   In today's interview, we discuss the process behind 'Games of Genius,' why our current education models fail and how this program can turn any child into a "gifted" prodigy. Listen in for the details.   Learn More About the 'Games of Genius' Program:   Start a 7-Day Free Trial of the 'Games of Genius' Program (CC Required) at: https://www.gamesofgenius.com/   Follow Games of Genius on Social Media:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Games-of-Genius-464706197634849/   Whether you are new to The Driven Entrepreneur Podcast or are a fan, please don't forget to rate, review and subscribe to the show.
