Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Rami Zeidan, founder and CEO of hospitality tech darling Life House , is a busy guy. With 60 independent hotels currently under management (and another 40 expected before year’s end), as well as five Life House-branded hotels welcoming guests (and another two slated to open in 2022), the company is harnessing travel’s triumphant return to drive its ambitious agenda. I recently spoke with Zeidan to learn more about what makes Life House tick, and what the future holds for the company post-pandemic. His responses have been edited for length and clarity. Q: How would you explain Life House and its mission to someone who knows nothing about technology? A: Life House’s mission is to make travel more accessible and reliable for all types of travelers. However, because hotels are pieces of commercial real estate owned by investors seeking a financial return, we focus on owner issues (i.e., profitability) rather than … [Read more...] about This CEO Won’t Stop Until He Reinvents The Hotel Management Business Worldwide

Marco Canora has long been a chef's chef, turning out seemingly simple dishes that require years of training to prepare consistently and well. He's received wide-ranging accolades for his restaurants, including Hearth in New York City's East Village. Yet today Canora is achieving new fame for a food that takes almost no skill to make, uses no fancy ingredients, and is completely unglamorous: bone broth. Bone broth is exactly what it sounds like: a pile of animal bones, covered in water; some vegetable scraps; and often a bit of cider vinegar--all boiled until the bones crumble. But despite--or because of--its simplicity, bone broth is having a moment. It's long been popular among some athletes and the paleo crowd, but now, thanks in large part to Canora, it's going mainstream. As a chef, Canora has been sipping bone broth for years, which may have been the only healthy part of a diet that until recently consisted largely of bread, butter, cigarettes, and alcohol. Like many … [Read more...] about The Entrepreneur Behind New York’s Latest Health Food Craze

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The food at the Hyatt House LAX is so good, well, I recommend you take any trip – just so you can be at this airport. The hotel just opened this past November 2021 and it is brand spanking new, with a lot to like — especially the cuisine. My husband Bill and I were enroute to Hawaii, and we always “crash” in Los Angeles on the way there, so we can rest-and-recover from the agony of flying to the West Coast. (We are really not as young as we look – LOL.) The Hyatt House was an ideal pre-Hawaii rest-over. The smoke-free hotel, situated on West Century Boulevard would be a good choice, no matter its location – but it just happens to be just minutes from LAX, with free shuttle service every 20 minutes. We also like the location as it’s just a short walk to Ralph’s Supermarket, where we stocked up on goodies. Typically, airport hotels and great meals usually don’t go together, but we were very impressed with the food at … [Read more...] about First-Class Cuisine Is Yours At Hyatt House LAX

They met. They danced. One thing led to another, and before long a relationship--and a business model--was born: Bobby Farahi, 41, and Shaudi "Shoddy" Lynn, 28, leveraged his business acumen and her fashion sense to design and import edgy, risqué outfits and sell them on a website called Dollskill.com ("Doll "for playing dress-up, "kill" to make "doll" sound edgy). They got married two years ago, and last year they rang up $7.6 million in sales, earning them the No. 33 spot on the Inc. 500 , an annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Here, Farahi tells the story of how their relationship became so profitable: She was a DJ. I was partying. We met at a rave in LA and started dating. I had just sold my last business, Multivision (a broadcast monitoring service), and was looking for the next thing. She was traveling a ton, but wasn't really making much money off the DJ thing. Actually, she was making more money selling clothes on eBay. … [Read more...] about The Quirky $8 Million Fashion Business That Started at a Rave

In 1998, on a riverboat casino on the Red River in Shreveport, Louisiana, the MIT Blackjack Team took the house for $80,000 in just a few hours. It was just one of many such big nights for Jeff Ma, who was a member from 1993 through 2001. Ma says he won about $2 million during that period, and his story was adapted into Ben Mezrich's book Bringing Down the House and the film 21 . Eventually, the casinos refused to let the team--which won so frequently by using sophisticated (and perfectly legal) card-counting techniques--play anymore. But Ma's story was far from over. He used his skills at blackjack to launch, build, and sell three different startups. After selling the first two to Yahoo and Virgin, earlier this month he sold developer-management tool tenXer to Twitter for close to $50 million. Inc . caught up with Ma to talk about the skills he transferred from the casino table to the boardroom table. Blackjack and entrepreneurship Like many startups, the MIT … [Read more...] about How Blackjack Helped Jeff Ma Sell His Startups to Yahoo, Virgin, and Twitter

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In the last few weeks, I’ve had two cultural experiences that I’m still trying to get my head around: Bob Dylan on his ‘Rough and Ready Ways” Tour and Baz Luhrmann's “Elvis.” Each, in their singular way, speaks to the struggle for authenticity in one’s art. Bob Dylan, who recently turned 81, performed three nights at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. I attended the first night’s performance: Dylan spent most of the night behind the piano, occasionally venturing beside his piano to sing, play harp, and occasionally play guitar. He was clean-shaven and still has a full head of hair (although it can’t really be that dark). Dylan was dressed in one of his Western suits. Whether this was an actual Nudie confection or another’s – it spoke to Dylan being of the West, and at the same time, being a creature of Showbiz with a nod to those other rhinestone cowboys such as Hank Williams. Dylan didn’t seem as sure footed on stage as he … [Read more...] about Bob Dylan & Elvis Stay True

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin This time of year, Americans usually beeline to spots with some sort of nature component like Yellowstone, Maui, and Ocean City. But why not steer clear of the crowds this summer, and consider an urban destination with outdoor appeal like Detroit ? Because while most people identify Michigan’s biggest city with its automotive roots and as the birthplace of Motown, Motor City brims with plentiful recreational, cultural, and culinary offerings. It’s a unique midwestern metropolis that’s ever-evolving, refreshingly diverse – Detroit is the country’s biggest majority-Black city – and sits along the Detroit River, which forms an international border between Canada and the U.S. On top of that, Detroit couldn’t be any easier to get to since it’s a hub of Delta Airlines. Ahead, even more reasons why Detroit makes for a smart, yet under-the-radar destination right now.
