Not Done.

After 8 years as a CEO, I’m walking away from the corner office — but not from the work.

I’ve spent my career chasing growth — for companies, for teams, for myself. I hit the milestones. I got the corner office.

But somewhere along the way, I realized something uncomfortable:

The way we lead, the way we measure success, the way we think about work… it’s outdated. We’re running 2025 businesses on 1995 leadership code.

So, here is the first among many announcements from me: I'm 'NOT DONE' — I’m starting a podcast and platform about AI, contrarian leadership, wellness, hospitality innovation and the next era of business.

"Whether excellence comes from human hands or AI systems, the guest should feel only the outcome—not the effort. That’s the essence of a seamless, frictionless experience and exactly what hoteliers should be striving for. Our job isn’t to showcase the work; it’s to remove the need for guests to validate it."
