He recaps on the two days he spent there and provides insights on what he thought about it (spoiler: he loved it) and summarizes the different segments he got the opportunity to emcee for! Listen to hear about Dan’s experience at the INDIEConFab!Takeaways: Mentorship can be both formal and informal but should focus on genuine curiosity and openness.Mentors should be prepared to guide mentees even if it means encouraging them to explore opportunities outside the current organization.Beyond traditional metrics like growth and revenue, success includes the quality of relationships built, the impact made on others, and the experiences created.There is a shift from \"outdoor leisure\" to \"experiential hospitality,\" indicating a broader scope of creating immersive and engaging customer experiences.Authenticity in development (not \"faking the funk\") leads to better financial performance and genuine neighborhood integration.Quote of the Show:“I think in all of our careers, it was, growth, revenue, profit, whatever other KPIs you could think of that are these metrics of what makes a business successful. But I think we all came to this really cool realization that it's also about relationships.” - Dan RyanLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedailydanryan/ Website: https://www.ninesixseven.com/ Shout Outs:0:33 - Independent Lodging Congress https://ilcongress.com/event/asheville/1:01 - The Radical Hotel https://www.theradicalavl.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwnei0BhB-EiwAA2xuBj5YmupfziyOY6mzGki32JqPJedBpEc4pCtQ_dJ4oGEPJbHABkDHDRoCjUAQAvD_BwE 1:06 - Mike Suomi https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikesuomi/3:02 - Wrong Way River Lodge & Cabins https://www.wrongwaycampground.com/ 4:10 - Plēb Urban Winery https://www.pleburbanwinery.com/ 6:43 - Radical Innovation Tour https://www.radicalinnovation.io/ 7:03 - Briggette Harenda...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jOMZku2zhfiEl2keEgoTu9dN4zv3kAryH7e0rdfDrqM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM5MzU3LzE2ODE4/MjI1NTUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
