Today's guest is Mike Schugt, currently the President of Teneo Hospitality Group, who shares his career journey in the hospitality industry. Soon he will putting forth all of his efforts and energy toward his new venture, "Inn-Clusivity".

Their mission is to empower special needs adults and their families by opening doors to transformative opportunities and meaningful employment in the hotel industry. It is a brilliant idea to help others find purpose and passion within new opportunities.

Imagine empowering special needs adults to become UNSTOPPABLE! He is "seeing" the need to help so many that may be UNSEEN for job opportunities.

We learn very quickly of so many commonalities between the both of us; Pittsburghers and Penn Staters.

Mike discusses his early aspiration to be a hockey player, his shift to hospitality spurred by an affinity for the dynamic nature of the industry, and his ascent to leadership roles including his current presidency at Teneo.

We discuss:

-the importance of self-leadership, authenticity, competitiveness, relationship-building in sales and leadership, and the value of serving others.

-Mike's initiative, 'Inclusivity,' which aims to provide employment opportunities for special needs adults.

-Lessons from Mike's story emphasize resilience, hard work, self-care, and the transformative impact of kindness and inclusivity in both personal growth and business success. More about https://innclusivity.org/
