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.

Eric Moeller is the CEO and Co-Founder of Overnight Success with Jasper Ribbers and they focus on putting together Mastermind events and have other educational offerings within their company, one of which I attended! I was involved in their 90-day accelerator program called Legends X and it was a great program for me and my vacation rental business and would highly recommend checking it out if you're trying to scale a profitable and systemized vacation rental company!
In this episode, you will hear Eric's story about getting into the industry, his challenges with the arbitrage management model, and shifting it to a traditional management model, launching their experiential hospitality brand called Freewyld which is a property with some tiny cabins in the destination and with big goals to set a new standard for their guests.
