Wide Open Spaces - Carrie Tolman - Episode # 041

Carrie Tolman is the Associate Principal at KTGY Simeone Deary Design Group. She has a keen eye for interior design and uses her roots in southern hospitality to help influence the style she uses today. She joins host Dan Ryan to share her #hospitality journey and how she got to where she is now.Takeaways:  Hospitality by definition is temporary lodging. You want to make it feel like more than that though, you want to make it a home away from home.Architecture is sculpture in motion.Design can be part of a beautiful experience. It can help create a beautiful view and it is a work of art.Southern hospitality is world renowned and it’s an expectation when you go there. It’s an art of how you entertain and host. Interior design and hospitality are both about the service level and how you can create an experience for your guests.Reconnecting with those around you is important. It’s a nice idea to get away and really focus on those you love and share personal experiences.Right now we are experiencing the great American migration. They are leaving urban environments and moving out to spaces that don’t cost as much.Quote of the Show: 7:45 “If you look at hospitality, what it is by definition is a temporary lodging, a domicile away from your own home.  Whether it's an extended stay or, or not. And so those skills that I learned how to make people feel welcome and good within those spaces at a home applied, just in a much larger scale for hospitality.”Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrie-tolman-9a775a5/Website: https://www.simeonedeary.com/Shout Outs: 5:47 Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel6:25 House Beautiful6:27 Alessandra Bronca8:19 Hirsch Bedner8:21 Regent Beverly Wilshire8:59 President Reagan9:16 Warren Beatty14:14 Whitney Museum19:14 White Lodging19:19 Brush Creek Ranch38:49 Meyer Davis41:44 The Naked Gun45:44 Gibson’s47:03 Nat King Cole Bar49:00 Vincent Van GoghWays 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/2Ef_4g_w9q8
