Ten New Year's Resolutions, Inspired by the World’s Top Hospitality Leaders
from Suite Success: Masters of Hospitality · host Skift
Rather than approaching the new year with generic goal-setting, this episode revisits the conversations that defined Suite Success in 2025. The moments that lingered. The insights that challenged conventional ideas of success. The lessons that revealed themselves not as sound bites, but as lived experience. Drawing from a year of interviews with founders, CEOs, editors-in-chief, and hospitality disruptors, this episode distills those conversations into ten New Year’s resolutions — each one inspired by a guest whose story reshaped how host, Katie Cline, thinks about fear, focus, reinvention, money, and meaning. Tune in to hear: Why confidence is built after doing the uncomfortable thing, not before How choosing the harder path now can prevent living someone else’s version of success Why reinvention is not a failure, but a feature of a fulfilling career The difference between being rich and being wealthy How focus creates long-term impact Why leaving space for the unexpected often leads to the most meaningful outcomes Whether you’re entering 2026 with clarity or uncertainty, this episode offers perspective, reflection, and a reminder that progress doesn’t always come from setting new goals, but from choosing intention over autopilot.
