VICEROY.




The hotel Nike put me up in is doooooope. It’s called The Viceroy Spa. I got this amazing villa all to myself. It’s like twice the size of an average NYC apartment! The whole complex is laid out like a little village rather a typical hotel. Really beautiful property.
So this morning I woke up at the butt crack of dawn to do this guest lecture for the Nike offsite. What’s an offsite? When you work in a large corporation, an offsite is basically a mini vacation with a little work sprinkled in. It allows for some out-of-the-box creative thinking and team spirit (Yay.) So Nike (thanks for the hook up LK) called me to ask if I would guest speak on the topic of the future of retailing (since we do Reed Space and work with Celux/LVMH). It was a good 1 hr session and I think the group was really fascinated. Afterwards, I had lunch with Kobi, who manages special events at the Mondrian Hotel. She was the guest speaker after me. Turns out we know a lot of the same people…damn small world. Come to the deserts of California to meet someone that knows half the people who play in the NRF.
