Yes, this is me 20 years ago after cooking Thanksgiving for my family... As the year begins to wind down and we gather with loved ones to celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for you. Whether you’ve been a part of this journey for years or recently joined the HospiVation community, your presence has made all the difference. Over 20 years ago, when I started HospiVation, my vision was clear: to raise the Motivation in Hospitality. What I didn’t expect was how profoundly the people I worked beside—hospitality professionals like you—would inspire me. You didn’t just help shape my career; you helped shape me into a better person. Your passion, resilience, and commitment to serving others have continuously reminded me of the power of community, hard work, and heart. This year, I’ve been especially grateful for the opportunity to share ideas, celebrate your wins, and help you overcome challenges. Whether we connected through coaching sessions, my eBook, courses, or simply a conversation, every interaction has reinforced why I love what I do. As we enter this season of reflection and gratitude, I hope you can take pride in the incredible work you’ve done this year—whether it was growing your team, improving profitability, or stepping into your potential as a leader. Thank you for trusting me to be a part of your journey and allowing HospiVation to play a role in your success. My hope for you this Thanksgiving is that you take time to savor the joys of the season, embrace the moments with those you care about, and recharge for the opportunities that lie ahead. Together, we’re building something extraordinary, and I’m honored to walk alongside you every step of the way. From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for being an essential part of this community and for inspiring me to continue raising the bar—not just in hospitality but in life. With gratitude and warmest regards, Jason E.
