Go Coogs.

I recently had the privilege of speaking to students from my alma mater, the Conrad N. Hilton College at the University of Houston.

In this recorded talk, you’ll hear:

• how an opportunity in 2013 to make some extra cash as a student volunteer at the AAHOA National Convention led me to 8 years of service to the organization
• how I overcame my most heartbreaking failure
• and why the hospitality industry will belong to the young leaders entering into it.

Thank you, Professor Cathy Cheatham, MHM, CHE, CHIA, for the opportunity.

In case anyone was wondering, the future of hospitality is bright with Hilton College students. 😉
