Hospitality Meets Simon Casson - "The Boy They Called Failure"

“The Boy They Called a Failure” | Simon Casson (Corinthia Hotels CEO) At 15 years old, he was told he was a failure. Today, he’s one of the most respected leaders in global luxury hospitality. In this very special video edition of Hospitality Meets, Phil sits down with Simon Casson, CEO of Corinthia Hotels and former President EMEA of Four Seasons — responsible for 45 hotels and 17,000 people — for one of the most powerful, emotional and inspiring conversations we’ve ever recorded. Filmed in one of the stunning bedrooms at Corinthia London, this interview goes far beyond a career story. It’s a journey into belief, leadership, humility, self-doubt, reinvention, and the human moments that shape who we become. What You’ll Learn in This Episode How a brutal careers meeting at 15 nearly crushed him The one sentence from his mum that changed the entire trajectory of his life Why washing dishes, living above a restaurant and doing every job became the best training imaginable How The Castle at Taunton and Four Seasons shaped his philosophy on luxury The walk-out disaster that taught him the real meaning of leadership Opening hotels across Washington, Doha, Dubai & beyond The hidden sacrifices behind senior roles — anxiety, imposter syndrome and missing family moments Why he left Four Seasons after 35 years How Corinthia became his “second mountain” The future of luxury — and what truly makes a hotel world-class Key Quotes “When the world says, ‘No, you can’t,’ you just need one person to say, ‘Yes, you can.’” “Leadership must be rooted in humanity, in kindness, in curiosity.” “We all have to polish our own diamond.” “Pressure refines you. Or it breaks you.” 🎧 Listen to the podcast version: https://linktr.ee/Hospmeetspod or wherever you get your podcasts If you enjoyed this interview… Please like, subscribe, comment, and share your favourite moment.
