Horst Schulze is the creative force behind The Ritz-Carlton hotel chain we know today. As President and COO, Horst grew The Ritz-Carlton hotel chain to approx. 50 hotels by his retirement in 2000. But Horst wasn’t finished, he says for fun he started an ultra-luxury hotel chain called Capella Hotel Group. Capella is also known as the hotel where President Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un shook hands for the first time at their 2018 historic summit. While Horst is widely known as the legendary luxury hotelier and for his contributions of excellence to the hotel industry – there is so much more to who he is.

In Part 2 of this special episode on Horst Schulze, we find out how he became a founding member of building The Ritz-Carlton brand we know today. We also hear what it was like when Marriott bought a stake in the company, and what Horst did after he retired.  More interestingly, we find out what happened when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer – primary leiomyosarcoma of the colon – and how that bought perspective to his faith, work and life in 1992. Since then, Horst has continued to pursue work with excellence, but he does so with gratitude and eternity in mind.
