Unforeseen circumstances provide an opportunity for advancement, innovation, and a fresh perspective. For the hospitality industry: Labour shortages and the continuing effects of COVID-19 dominated the hospitality industry in 2021. However, 2022 is shaping up to be far more fulfilling — and profitable — as the industry figures out how to fulfill customer expectations without compromising safety. According to www.hubinternational.com. One industry expert who knows the ins and outs of the hospitality industry is Travis Talbot. Travis 'T-bone' Talbot is a Shambling Nomad, Prolific Consultant, Eccentric Coach, Goodwill Champion, and a much-loved, multi-archetypal persona in the hospitality and entertainment arenas.


Travis' drive is fuelled by an obsession for all things food, drink, restaurants, goodwill, and a mission to bring authentic and inspiring hospitality back to the trade. He is eager to contribute to the conversation surrounding messaging which inspires seasoned executives and aspiring entrepreneurs alike that are motivated to level up and expand their horizons.


A banter with Travis is an opportunity to share a refreshingly awkward chuckle over riotous yet relatable stories from a modern-day outlaw with a few epic wins to boast, and a portfolio of blockbuster fails. In addition, to a cache of tragicomic chronicles, he has a knack for stimulating the business grey matter with his atypical insights and outlooks.


With over 500 concept developments in resorts, hotels, casinos, and entertainment venues worldwide, Travis fathoms both the business mechanics and the human elements of hospitality. He describes his formula for success as "A combination of sociology, behavioral economics, EQ/HQ, scar tissue, and a few breathtaking bottles of cabernet."


Travis has worked with some of the most notable organizations in the hospitality industry from coast-to-coast. He joined me this week to tell me more.
