How do you build a hospitality empire that still feels like home?
This week on Inner Work, we sit down with Paul Coury, founder & CEO of Coury Hospitality, for a powerful conversation about resilience, leadership, and scaling with soul.
Paul launched his first hotel in 1999. Today, he leads a portfolio of 37 lifestyle hotels across the U.S., and he’s done it while staying deeply connected to team culture, design integrity, and service excellence.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
-
How Paul led Coury Hospitality through six major economic downturns
-
What he did after a tough employee survey revealed deep disconnect
-
Why “doing it all” was never sustainable, and how he learned to let go
-
The balance of risk, reinvestment, and reputation in long-term growth
If you're a founder, executive, or someone scaling something big, you’ll walk away inspired and challenged.
