How I Stopped Getting Through the Day and Learned to Think Strategically - Rob Smith, Stonebridge Companies
In this episode, Rob Smith, the CEO and President of Stonebridge Companies, shares the unlikely path that took him from an accounting degree to running his own hotel by 25 and then spending 17 years as a hospitality leader in the Caribbean.
You'll hear how a Caribbean hotel owner taught him to stop just getting through the day and start thinking strategically, why working alongside people from other countries changed how he leads, and why he believes everyone should work abroad at least once. This is a story about the range of careers this business can offer the people who give it a chance.
