“ And I felt that it was silly that the birthplace of American Liberty didn't have an inn, because inns and taverns were so fundamental and so important to the beginning of the Revolution. Inns and taverns were crossroads where people would come together. They would exchange ideas. They would share the news.”We’re in great company with Trisha Pérez Kennealy, the proud steward of the Inn at Hastings Park, a luxury boutique hotel nestled in the quintessential New England town of Lexington,

“Because that's also something that's quite important is that you have time. You don't go to Nusfjord to stay one night. You need at least a couple of nights to actually understand where you are and get a feel of where you are. And I've been in quite a lot of different hotels which have a high level of luxury with marble and gold. But being here, actually just feeling the ambience and getting that serene, quiet feeling - that is luxury.”We’re in great company with Renate Johansen and Fred Anton

“And I got so addicted to my creativity. The more I create, the more praises I get. I'm doing a movie, but I'm also doing three restaurants where everybody's eating in those restaurants, and then I'm also doing the wine list for those restaurants. So it was really rich and amazing and beautiful, but I didn't know that I was depleting myself to a point of exhaustion. And then I had this spiritual awakening.”We’re in great company with Sylvia De Marco, the Founder of Finca Victoria, an Ayurvedic

“If you walk up and down Main Street and go into an art gallery, or a retail shop, or a restaurant that's been here for years, you're gonna get a, ‘Welcome y'all. How's it going?’ And you're going to get a sense of who that person is and what that place really is. There are ways to be luxurious and boutique without being stuffy and pretentious, because the Hill Country is simply not any of those things.”We’re in great company with Mike Bolick, the General Manager of the Albert Hotel, a tranquil

“And I would say for me, there's only a very small number of times where I really felt convicted that this is the path for me in life. This is the thing I'm supposed to do. And this was one of those moments where it just felt really clear. Getting to buy The Swag, it wasn't like it was a dream come true, because I don't think I had bold enough or big enough dreams to dream that. It was beyond a dream.”We’re in great company with Annie Colquitt, who along with her husband David, became stewards of

You're fascinated by the lives and the experiences that people had before you, because you're finding this connective tissue emotionally to another generation, another decade, another era.”We’re in great company with Tereasa Surratt, the Founder and Owner of Camp Wandawega, who was persuaded by her husband, David, twenty years ago to save this pocket of American history tucked away

So it solves pretty much all aspects of my life of what keeps me motivated, keeps me fit, keeps me well minded. And I think naturally, most people would say the water has some special power of connecting and making someone feel good.”We’re in great company with Brian Meyer, the Co-Founder and CEO of FLOHOM, a collection of immersive waterfront experiences for vacationers and

“We want people to take away a new perception of ‘off-grid living’ and what that means. So when you first think of off-grid, especially when I did it, I was like, ‘Okay, off grid. You're roughing it. Is there going to be hot water? You don't know. Is there a toilet? You don't know.’ And so we wanted to make it have zero compromises in terms of what you're experiencing.”We’re in great company with Hillary Flur, the Co-Founder of Folly Collection.

A kind of connection saying, ‘Haven't we seen each other before?’”We’re in great company with Praveen Moman, the pioneer in Great Ape tourism, celebrating the 25th Anniversary of his conservation and ecotourism brand, Volcanoes Safaris, where he has been at the forefront of reviving the post-conflict Uganda and

“They have to find their own path. So maybe they go back home and then they start to be a bit more conscious about where they live. Maybe they realize that, ‘Oh, there's an amazing foundation in my village or in my town,’ and they start to support that foundation. And that's perfect. You know, our seeds of love make them a bit more human.”We’re in great company with Petit Miribel, the Founder and Owner of Sol y Luna, a luxury hotel nestled in the Sacred Valley of the Incas at the foothills of Machu

Now we live here, we visit Copenhagen, we visit Hamburg, we travel the world, because we still need that energy.”We’re in great company with Mette Hyttel, the Creative Co-Owner of not one, but two boutique hotels on the western coast of Denmark, Fanø Krogaard and Hjerting Badehotel - both

And the people from Deary who've been here, they highly appreciated the saving of this building. We have a group of older men who meet for coffee there every morning and they can remember, when they were kids riding their bikes through the shop, and there used to be another group of old men who met there for coffee.”We’re in great company with Webb French, the

And that's what we're trying to do now with our newest company, Few and Far, which is create an extraordinary five star experience, but at the same time, invest in the land, restore the land, regenerate the area in which we are at work, rather than being a business that is just trying to do no harm.

Am I in the twenties, the thirties? This building has gone through a hundred years of history and we pick up on different decades at different parts in time in the property. We don't have clocks in the room, so it doesn't matter what time it is. It's Miami beach, you're on vacation. But more so than

And now, the most beautiful Porsches, BMWs, Audis and Teslas, they're all electric. And so we're trying to do something similar for hotels to show that you can offer hospitality for the planet and actually offer better comfort and experience for your guests.”We’re in great company with Bruce Becker, the Owner, Architect and Developer of Hotel Marcel, a

So we travel a ton to this day and the food in the Pacific Northwest is unmatched. The coffee is unmatched. And we did the design ourselves, the architecture was there, the energy efficiency is unmatched. And so I do think that the things that our region is known for, which is mainly food and craft, it's a little bit of a microcosm of those values in the
