  • #121: Looking for REAL Innovation in Hospitality with Bashar Wali & Eric Jafari
    2024/11/27

    In a world where traditional hotel experiences are becoming obsolete, how can the hospitality industry transform from merely providing a place to stay into a platform for genuine human connection and personal transformation?

    In this episode, Steve Carran speaks with Bashar Wali and Eric Jafari as they challenge the status quo of hotel innovation. Moving far beyond traditional wellness concepts, they explore how the next generation is redefining hospitality through community, belonging, and transformative experiences.

    Key Topics include:

    • The death of conventional hotel models
    • How Gen Z and Millennials are reimagining wellness as a social, communal experience
    • Why hotels must shift from transactional services to creating genuine human connections
    • Lessons from innovative retail concepts like Erewhon and Goop
    • The critical importance of making guests feel they truly belong

    Drawing from personal experiences and industry insights, Wali and Jafari argue that the future of hotels isn't about amenities, but about creating tribes, cultivating culture, and helping guests feel they matter in an increasingly disconnected world.
