What if the spaces you gather in could change how you think, lead, and live?

In this energizing conversation, Erin Coupe sits down with Ryan Simonetti, President and CEO of Convene Hospitality Group, to explore how a bold idea during the 2008 financial crisis became a global, category-defining hospitality platform. Ryan shares how human centered design, relentless intention, and the courage to jump before you feel ready shaped Convene’s growth through two major crises and into a multi brand global business.

Together, they dive into what it really takes to build with purpose in both business and life.

In this episode, we explore:

- Why intention is the foundation of great leadership and culture

- How writing down your vision accelerates manifestation

- The mindset shift from fear to disciplined action

Ryan’s perspective on gratitude, resilience, and seeing potential in others is a powerful reminder that success is rarely accidental. It is deliberate.

If you are building something, dreaming bigger, or standing at the edge of a leap, this episode is for you.
