Chris Adams and his international luxury hospitality consulting firm EAG are currently opening 100 hotels during Q3 and Q4 of this year, partnering with Marriott International to transform locations for The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, W, Westin, and Renaissance among others all over the world. He has worked on everything from the acclaimed Italian steakhouse Davio's in Atlanta to the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas and is heavily involved in the continued evolution of Marriott's beverage program. Chris is a disruptor of the hospitality industry and has climbed the ladder from pool attendant at The Ritz-Carlton to transforming Ritz-Carltons. He also has a spirit in the works with rapper, G-Eazy.
In our episode together, despite all of the amazing and fancy things listed above, it was never always like this for Chris. When he joined me on this episode, we uncovered the journey of his biggest failures, the pain and humility of starting all over again, and how he learned from everything to then accomplish real success that was greater than himself.
