Not quite
a podcast
A little smart.
A little sass.
A lot of fun.
There are a lot of podcasts out there but this isn’t quite a podcast. It’s a collection of snippets, highlights and clips of great conversations with some really fantastic people. We’ve condensed long conversations into small, digestible bite-sized nuggets for high quality, short form content - because everyone can be smart for a minute or two.
Doug Logan, founder of Inovāt, sits down with some of the best Founders, Marketers, Writers, Designers and Leaders to talk about life, business, marketing and more. It’s a discussion without format, ads, guidelines, or gimmicks and you get the best of it.
Episode 7
From Muffin Maker to Inn Keeper
with Robert Blood
We love a good Founder Story and Rob’s will inspire and encourage. Doug and Rob go down memory lane from their beginnings as young founders building their own websites on Flash (before websites were popular), to still loving what they do 20-plus years later. They also cast their prediction on how technology will help or hurt us when it comes to serving what matters most – people.
Rob began his hospitality career at the age of 26, as the innkeeper of an 8-room bed and breakfast on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. As the Founder and Chairman of Lark, Rob is now the steward of a portfolio of real estate valued at nearly $1B with an annual revenue stream over $150MM. Rob takes pride in having worked every position in his hotels, from toilet scrubber to line cook to general manager and attributes the success of Lark, not only to his ability to learn on his feet, but mostly to his knack for bringing amazing people together.
