Hospitality is a Feeling - Damon Lawrence - Episode # 024

The hospitality industry is incredibly diverse as a whole, but not when it comes to the higher up positions. That's what today's guest wants to change for the better. Damon Lawrence, the Co-Founder of Homage Hospitality, is working with Howard University to create an outstanding hospitality program at his alma mater, Howard University.  Listen to this week's episode as he shares #hospitality insights with Dan Ryan today! Takeaways:  There is a labor shortage in the hospitality industry because it's not an employee centric industry. Employees work long hours and went from seeing no one in a pandemic to being face to face with guests again. Hospitality is a feeling you give to your guests. Whether they are in your hotel, restaurant or even your home, it is all about how you treat the guests and put them in a position to succeed. It's important to have conversations regarding race in the country. To make a positive change in the world, it starts with what might be an uncomfortable conversation for most.  There needs to be more African American hotel owners and developers. To help achieve this, Damon is working on building up the hospitality program at Howard University. The hospitality industry is very diverse as a whole, but most of the diversity is sitting at the very bottom. The low entry, hourly jobs are the most diverse, and the further you go up the more the diversity dwindles. If people listen, take notice, and then take action that could cure a lot of ills in the hospitality industry. This could also benefit society at large.  Quote of the Show:   7:58 “Hospitality really is a feeling. What I've always noticed,whether it's traveling or I'll be working in this space, is how do you make somebody feel when they enter into your space or a space that you have dominion over? Just because you are a hospitality brand doesn't mean that you wouldn't exude or create a hospitable experience. So hospitality really is how you make people feel. Whether they're dining at your restaurant or dining at your home. Like I said before, understanding what everyone goes through and making sure that you can put people in the best position to succeed, creates that hospitality experience that you want to provide to your consumers.”  Links:  Damon's Profile:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/hauspitality/ Company website: https://www.anewkindofhospitality.com Twitter: @hauspitality Shout Outs:  1:11 Thompson Hotel 1:34 Jason Pomerantz 1:35 Stephen Brandman 1:57 St. Regis 1:59 Ritz Carlton 2:00 Four Seasons 3:33 Craigslist 10:33 Howard University 10:49 University of Louisiana, Lafayette 11:33 Mardi Gras 12:20 Halle Berry 12:22 Paula Patton 19:27 Independent Lodging Congress 20:14 Arne Sorenson foundation 20:17 Marriott foundation 23:28 ALIS Conference 25:21 Determine by Design 25: 24 Kia Weatherspoon 36:00 LGBTQ 51:39 HDAC (Hospitality Diversity Action Council) 52:58 Bashar Wali 53:00 Nina Grondin 53:03 Aaron Anderson 53:07 Stacy Shoemaker Ways to Tune In:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s Podbean:  https://www.defininghospitality.live/ Youtube : https://youtu.be/k_ETfrerldA

INFO ON DAMON LAWRENCE:Website: https://www.anewkindofhospitality.com LinkedIn profile:https://www.linkedin.com/in/hauspitality/ Instagram: @hauspitalityTwitter: @hauspitality, @stayhomageMartin Luther King, Jr. said:“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”Well, the dream of Damon Lawrence is one of perseverance in the face of recurring challenges that would have made most simply decided to choose a simpler path. It is one of where  the content of one’s character is evident. Originally from Pasadena, CA, Damon has always had a passion for entrepreneurship. In high school Damon was voted most likely to become a CEO and his classmates proved to be prophetic as the currently helms as Chief Executive Officer of Homage Hospitality.Like many hoteliers, he grew to love hospitality as he rose through the ranks. Damon began his hospitality journey as a front desk agent at the Donovan House Hotel in Washington, DC while attending Howard University. He then moved into management at companies such as The Ritz-Carlton, InterContinental Hotels Group, and Dusit International. After noticing a lack of African American brand ownership and leadership in higher management ranks, Damon created the Homage Hospitality brand in 2014 and currently oversees operations and creative direction.In July of 2018 Homage Hospitality opened their first property “The Moor” in New Orleans, LA. The small property stands out with an emphasis on the culture of New Orleans and its relation to multicultural heritage of the North African Moors in its design and architecture. The nearly 100-year-old facade sports Spanish Colonial features, while inside, the four suites have rustic elements of exposed brick and hardwood floors softened with Moroccan patterned textiles. Damon Lawrence's dream is impassioned, authentic and genuinely focused on providing a hotel experience that is geared towards creating like something you’ve never seen before. It will feel like a new kind of experience - a new kind of hospitality.

We hear how much of a challenge coronavirus has posed to accommodation platform Airbnb. Damon Lawrence is the co-founder of Homage Hospitality in New Orleans, and tells us he sold the property he let on Airbnb when rentals dried up at the start of the coronavirus crisis. Josh Bivens is author of a report by the Economic Policy Institute, which explores the upward pressure on local rental costs a surge in Airbnb properties can cause. And Lewis Ross from Edinburgh in Scotland explains the pressure he had to deal with after building up a portfolio of eleven properties, three with mortgages, that he used to let on Airbnb. Also in the programme, cafes and restaurants have been allowed to reopen across most of France today. Rob Lawrence runs Musette Bicycles and Cafe in Bordeaux in south-western France, and tells us how it feels to be up and running again. And we consider the longer term economic impact of recent closures on cafes and restaurants with Victor Mallet, Paris bureau chief of the Financial Times. Plus we hear from director Tomas Lutuli Brickhill how Netflix's first Zimbabwean film, Cook Off, which cost just $8,000 to make, might impact the world's view of the southern African nation.
