Hospitality Mavericks

by Michael Tingsager

We wanted to show there was another way to build and lead businesses. So Hospitality Mavericks was born. We wanted to gather together the world’s Mavericks who do things differently from the norm. They are leaders from all walks of life who have shown and proven that there is a better way forward without cashing out on their values; ripping off their people, community and planet. That was over ten years ago. Since then we've worked with and interviewed more than 200 leaders, thinkers and experts on the best way to build a business that makes a positive impact on all stakeholders. We are the home to impactful leaders that KNOW and DO things in a better way. A network for those seeking a different path. So don’t just be like the others! Dare to Be Different ✊

If you don’t break the industry norms...…you are the norm!I was in London recently with the family.I experienced that most of the retail and restaurant places we went to were average in adding value to my life and the world.Often, industry norms are bland and do not make a difference.They follow the old, outdated ways. I think that goes for any industry.Many will think you have to be a rebel, someone who shouts what everyone else is doing is wrong. See how great we are.But that is not the...

Thriving by doing one thing well… Most founders started the business because it should be great fun, and they had a dream. Often, that dream turns into a huge struggle and sometimes a nightmare.
