Will Guidara has never told this story before.

He’s now world-famous, a New York Times bestseller, and has appeared on talk shows, stages and podcasts. But this is the first time he shares how he and Simon Sinek met and connected, ultimately leading to Simon asking him to write a book, ‘Unreasonable Hospitality.’

He opens up about his belief that anyone, in any profession, can choose to be part of the hospitality industry by prioritizing people with the same zeal often reserved for products. His book serves as a testament to this philosophy, emphasizing the power of prioritizing relationships and the human moments that weave through our professional endeavors.

Will is a maestro in the art of making people feel valued beyond the transaction, and applies this to the automotive industry. 🌟 "Every car tells a chapter of your life story," Will muses, highlighting the profound connections between milestones and the vehicles we choose to mark them.

In essence, this interview is not just about the cross-pollination of ideas between industries but a clarion call to infuse our work with humanity, creativity, and, most importantly, unreasonable hospitality. Will Guidara masterfully reminds us that at the heart of every transaction, every service, lies the unparalleled power of making people feel truly seen and valued.
