A legend and leader in the hotel world, Horst Schulze's teachings and vision have reshaped the concepts of service and hospitality across industries. Mr. Schulze's professional life began more than 65 years ago as a server's assistant in a German resort town. He would go on to become one of the founding members of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company in 1983. There Mr. Schulze created the operating and service standards that have become world famous. During his tenure at The Ritz-Carlton, Mr. Schulze served as President and COO, responsible for the $2 billion operations worldwide. It was under his leadership that The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company became the first service-based company to be awarded the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award — twice. After leaving The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, Mr. Schulze went on to found The Capella Hotel Group. This luxury hotel company managed some of the most elite properties worldwide, and gave Mr. Schulze the opportunity to further define the luxury hotel industry, receiving countless awards and recognitions. Today, Mr. Schulze serves as Expert in Residence at Arch + Tower, a boutique, organizational strategy consulting firm. He also recently completed his first book, titled “Excellence Wins.” And it is this the man and the book that has shaped so much of who I am today and the mission of Purpose Project XXI. Up until now he has been a mentor afar off but not anymore. Hope you enjoy our conversation and get as much value from it as I did.  horstschulze.com  Book: Excellence Wins purposeprojectxxi.org

On this episode you'll get to hear a recent interview I (Ozzie) did with Apryl Ortiz on the Strength & Dignity Life Podcast. In our conversation we talk about pursuing a purpose (for your life); defining your core values; creating a mission statement for your life and much more. This is a bit longer than most of our episodes but I believe it is well worth the listen.  If you'd like to learn more about Apryl Ortiz or Strength & Dignity Life and the Podcast you may visit: Strengthdignitylife.com To learn more about Purpose Project XXI you may visit: Purposeprojectxxi.org

On this second episode of a two part series I sit down with Dr. Tom Deters. If his name sounds familiar, it's probably because he was chief and editor and publisher of Muscle and Fitness magazine for 15 years, running a hundred million dollar division. He's published hundreds of articles, been on the Today Show, Good Morning America and Fox News. He's also been a CEO, many times, of media and marketing companies, both for families and private equity groups.  He's been contracted with the Naval special warfare SEAL teams . He's done hundreds of seminars on performance enhancement, fitness, diet strategy, and supplementation. He is a practicing Brazilian jujitsu black belt and he's a committed follower of Christ. Besides this impressive resume, he is just a great man who has graciously taken time to sit down with me and offer some truth bombs and wisdom that we would be remissed to not receive and apply to our lives. Dr. Tom Deters offers some incredibly practical advise on how to take control of your physical health while also strengthening your mental health.  Purposeprojectxxi.org
