09 - Dr. Elsie Inglis by Frances Balfour

What this episode covers

Explore the extraordinary life of Dr. Elsie Inglis, a pioneering physician and suffragist from the late 19th and early 20th century. Dr. Inglis, defying societal norms, opened a hospice in Edinburgh dedicated to impoverished women and children. She played a pivotal role in Scotlands womens suffrage movement and during World War I, she established the Scottish Womens Hospitals. Going against all odds, she sent 14 teams to set up field hospitals in Belgium, France, Serbia, and Russia. Captured in Serbia while tending to the wounded, she was eventually repatriated. This biography, crafted shortly after her demise in 1917, delves into her remarkable journey and selfless contributions.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
