“Wil just has this master class in storytelling and connection and real world insights. He has such a gift of getting people to open up — not about the headlines and the polished PR, but about the real challenges of the business, their lessons, their losses, their breakthroughs. He’s archiving the heart of hospitality. We need more people that make our industry visible and accessible.”Amanda Kahalehoe · COO · Vicious Biscuit
