?? NEW EPISODE ?? Today on The Modern Hotelier, David, Jon, and ???Steve talk with James 'JC' Curleigh, CEO of Pelican Products, Inc. and Bradley Steward, President & Co-Founder of Caravan Outpost.

In the clip below, JC gives three pieces of advice to future CEOs: 1. Don't take yourself too seriously, but take your role at your job serious. 2. Craft the balance to be aggressive when you have insight, but when you have the time be aggressively patient. 3. Hone your own personal style of being an active listener and ask the right questions.
