Eric Boyle shared thisLast week was another reminder of why the hospitality community in Colorado is so special and strong. The Colorado Hospitality Community (CHC) and the community at Metropolitan State University of Denver (the incredible faculty and alumni like Amber M. below) came together to create an impactful & really cool experience for the students of MSU Denver School of Hospitality. Last week I hosted a mock interview experience where students sat across from hospitality professionals & people connected to MSU Denver. It gave the students the chance to practice and receive real time feedback about their interviewing skills (I sure could have used that feedback as an undergrad!). It was so energizing to see and hear all the conversations happening. I was really impressed (but not surprised) as I got a lot of feedback on how well the students did & how they showed up prepared. A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to support the students, as these are the future leaders of the Colorado hospitality community. I am already looking forward to the next opportunity to bring this group together to support our students.Eric Boyle shared thisThanks to Eric Boyle for including me as part of the mock interviews for the MSU Denver School of Hospitality . I was able to interview three Roadrunners - John, Riley and Austin - who are majoring in hospitality admin and each three are looking at different areas they can use their hard-earned degrees. I love connecting with current students and sharing my HR experience - and yes, giving my elevator pitch for staying connected once their graduate🫰🏽🫰🏽

Eric Boyle shared thisA really fun and special networking event last week that showcased exactly why Denver’s hospitality community is so rich and welcoming. I was able to bring together 17 awesome students from MSU Denver School of Hospitality with just as many hospitality industry leaders for a networking event that reinforced why we are so lucky to have this community and hospitality ecosystem here in Denver and Colorado. A week later, I continue to get feedback on how impressive the students were and how impactful it was for them to have met so many approachable and genuine industry leaders. I want to thank all the industry professionals and members of the Metropolitan State University of Denver community who came out to support our students. I am truly thankful for how supportive this community is of our next generation of Colorado hospitality leaders.

Eric Boyle shared thisIf you work for a company that serves alcohol (or serve yourself), you need to take note...the old TIPS training that we are all familar with- it no longer is recognized by the state of Colorado.

Eric Boyle shared thisA huge compliment to Kristen Rauch & Kip Wilson at EatDenver for organizing such a great event. The quality of speakers and their presentations were really impressive and so relevant. I am really excited for what the MSU Denver Day Leadership Academy is working on to be rolled out in the upcoming months.Eric Boyle shared thisMarch Recap at the Day Leadership Academy ✨ March was full of momentum and guess what? We’re just getting started! A major highlight? Being part of EatDenver’s ED Talks. From powerful conversations to meaningful connections, it was an inspiring space that brought together professionals, students, and leaders who are actively shaping the future of hospitality. We’re proud to have been in the room and part of the energy. Behind the scenes, we’ve been busy turning ideas into action: • Expanding new initiatives to better support industry professionals • Strengthening partnerships across Colorado’s hospitality community At DLA, everything we do comes back to one focus and that is creating real, accessible opportunities for growth while building a stronger, more connected hospitality community. If March was any indication, there’s a lot more ahead 👀 Let’s keep building.

Eric Boyle shared thisA really exciting report to read as someone who is a huge believer in the power of coworking. However, as a coworking outsider, I do think there is a gap in the analysis, as it interesting to note that the word “hospitality” was not used once in this report (at least I didn’t see it). I get it, the target audience is VCs, banks, investors, etc., but when really thinking about what is at the core of coworking, and what will truly drive value and sustainable growth, the industry needs to continue challenging how it describes coworking. It is not a commodity. At its core, it is hospitality. #coworking #hospitalityEric Boyle shared thisOur team analyzed Yardi's CoworkingCafe quarterly coworking/flex market reports (based off data pulled from inventory across our Yardi Listing Network) to build a comprehensive 2025 annual industry recap. The TLDR: industry is growing. Link below. It's also on the Yardi Kube blog.

Steve Schwab - first thing I noticed too- Bezos wanted to keep waalking before the gentleman even finished.
And let’s be clear- it was the employee that acknowledged Bezos, not the other way around. Had the employee not asked him how he was doing, Bezos would have walked right on by.
And once the employee said hello, Bezos never asked the employee his name, anything about him, even how is he doing. Bezos thanked him for his comments- not for his work.

The vibe is the best, and talking about the best, getting to spend time with one of my most favorite people in this industry was awesome too. I've been working with Ali Cammelletti and a great group of people for the last 15 months on our part of the Pro Academy for VRNation, and it's been a pleasure at every moment of the journey. So much more to come. Missed you Alexis Miller! (I have weirdly large AI hands in this photo - not AI though )
