Will Meyer is the Owner and Co-Founder at Meyer Davis Studios Inc. He believes that great design works on multiple levels and designs seamless physical experiences tailored to his clients individuality. Will joins host Dan Ryan to talk about his journey through #hospitality and what it all means to him.Takeaways:  When working in a partnership, it’s important to have respect for the other person's ideas and recognize that it doesn’t matter where the idea comes from as long as it is good.Residential and hospitality projects have similar demographics which can make for interesting design options. Hospitality is an elevated sense of home. You want people to feel comfortable and connected to the elements in hospitality and have it feel welcoming.It’s important to encourage people and make a special environment that allows them to grow and flourish. The work that is done in the hospitality world tends to look like it is based on where it is and who it is about rather than being about the designer themselves.Using the environment as inspiration for your design in hospitality is something that creates an even better experience for guests and the community.Use design as a way to connect with guests and the surrounding areas. Quote of the Show: 21:37 I look at hospitality as an elevated sense of the home. A heightened sense of residential comforts and elements that create a new space within the hospitality world that make people feel comfortable, make people feel inspired that create a new turning of the dial of their experience in hospitality. But grounded by that sense of residential home feel that makes people feel comfortable.”Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-meyer-7685677/Website: https://www.meyerdavis.com/Shout Outs: 1:01 David Gaddie1:02 “A Beautiful Dreamer” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVCNh6_YpI8 3:30 HD Summit3:57 Michael Bedner3:59 Trish Wilson5:55 “Rookie Smarts” by Liz Wiseman7:35 Auburn University8:42 David Raleigh14:24 V Bar in Las Vegas14:31 David Raybin 14:32 Will Regin15:21 Venetian17:10 Moss Farmhouse28:30 Four Seasons28:31 Mandarin Oriental28:32 Rosewood28:36 W Hotels34:50 BaccaratWays to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1sAmazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419Podbean: https://www.defininghospitality.live/Youtube : https://youtu.be/phYIUjTnxwQ
