Celebrating the 365 consecutive days of posting my daily thoughts, ideas & insights.

Wow! Quite a ride.

Wasn't really sure I'd have the discipline to do this every day for a full year. 

Especially with all my travels and not being able to have a set routine.

As it turned out, all the travel actually helped because it gave me so many new perspectives each time.

Thanks for your support.

I think I might just keep going.

Today in Episode 80, we may have found a new opportunity for hotels.

Ad Platforms make a lot of money for the people who control them.

Hotels have a lot of data on their guests.

Is it time for hotels to create their own industry wide Ad Platform?

In Episode 79 we dig in deep and get practical, then take a step back and look at some of the more philosophical concepts around pricing your spa menu.

I also share my thoughts on what I call the Discount Addiction.

Lots and lots of info in this one!

In Episode 78 I discuss the issue of the location of the spa inside the hotel.

We're always told 'location matters'.

Yet when it comes to the spa, we just keep putting it in the same place without ever asking why.

So...I asked why!

In Episode 77 I explore the concept of Passion.

Finding your passion is the key to success.

Everybody says so.

But knowing that and actually finding your passion, are sometimes far apart.

In Episode 76 I sit down with Katherine Johnston, Senior Research Fellow at the Global Wellness Institute and co-author of the Global Wellness Economy Monitor, to find out what's behind the latest industry numbers.

In Episode 75 I respond to a few questions I have had recently around Spa Associations.

Who are they there for?

What are they supposed to be doing?

Who's funding them?

Why are there so many?

Are they really effective?

What needs to change?

In Episode 74 of the show I share an interview I did recently with the folks at Spa China.

I discuss my views of the state of the hotel spa industry in China and some thoughts on possible future directions.

In Episode 73 I share an interview I did recently with the good folks at Hotelier Maldives.

They wanted my opinions on the state of the spa industry in Maldives and also my thoughts of the future of the industry.

Unsurprisingly, I had some.

In Episode 72 we look at Wellness Branding.

Weight Watchers, long a leader in the weight loss space, now wants to own Wellness too.

Moving from a brand name to a trustmark is just one of many steps.
