Building a Legacy of Lifelong Learning

50 Shades of Hospitality is happy to introduce our new collaborator and producer, Mauricio Schüler.  Life-long Learning is Mauricio’s passion and his career path has revolved around how to inspire other professionals to embrace this ethos.  For this podcast, Mauricio who is the founder of the Schulering HUB hospitality platform, responds to our questions about how hoteliers can improve and innovate in the current hospitality business environment.

Mauricio’s focus is on independent hoteliers, who lack resources to keep pace with rapid changes. By creating the right space and bringing the right people together, he believes we can inspire, motivate and facilitate innovation and learning. 

Mauricio also describes how he came to create Schulering HUB, along with a podcast and You Tube Channel which features content dedicated to the hospitality industry.  He also discusses hospitality education and the importance of practical experience for young people entering the field.  

Mauricio elaborates on what he believes is necessary to revitalise the industry by addressing critical issues such as the “Silent Resignation” that has left the industry 48% below pre-pandemic levels, leadership shortcomings, poor work culture, lack of transparency in career progression and compensation, and the discrepancy between hospitality education and industry needs.

Finally, Mauricio gives our listeners his views on lifelong learning and shares some words of inspiration for young people embarking on a hospitality career path.

Mauricio Schüler is the founder of Schulering HUB, a platform dedicated to helping independent hoteliers design exceptional employee experiences. He also serves as Brand and Sales Manager at Casino Ambassador in Prague, while providing consulting support for innovation and digitalization at H&Hotels Group, his family’s hotel cluster.

Originally from Brazil, Mauricio’s career began with a degree in physical education before moving to Australia to study Commercial Cookery, where he worked alongside celebrity chef Miguel Maestro and later became head chef at an award-winning café.
