Congratulations to HFTM's Dr. William Murray on launching a successful new podcast series called The Service Center!
His podcast started with a simple premise – to showcase stories of interesting people about their journeys. How did they end up where they are at the moment, and what interesting roads led to their current place and perspectives?
Professor Murray’s podcast focuses on the lived experiences of service experts, industry operators, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs.
“Deciding to launch my own podcast in 2021 was new territory. But the concept to explore stories that are focused on being of- and in-service has been in my head for a long time.”
Within each episode, guests share their wisdom and insights that often force us to consider the nuances of hospitality, challenge our assumptions about it, and showcase the power and passion that can come from being in-service to others.
Originally conceived as something of value specifically for his students, it has grown to serve the interests of emerging talent, leaders developing their skills, as well as established professionals who love both the services industry and the rich personal stories found therein.
When inside The Service Center, you will find long-form conversations with passionate alumni and industry experts about the hospitality industry and customer service, all sharing their past journeys with insights for the future.
