If you love hosting events for your friends and family, have you ever considered doing it for a living? We’re all familiar with the hotel industry, but don’t really know what goes on behind the scenes. Caroline Shone gives us the inside scoop on what it takes to curate experiences for luxury resorts and how she became one of the youngest managers at Four Seasons at age 22. In this episode, Christine and Caroline talk about what made her decide to pursue a degree in hospitality at Cornell, why she found herself sleeping in her car during her first hotel internships, what it’s like creating experiences for luxury resorts, and the different possible career paths one can pursue in the hotel industry.
