#E59 Behind the Scenes of the Hospitality Industry: A Career Built on Passion: Andrew Mosley

Season 4, Ep. 59

My guest on the podcast this week is someone that has been an inspirational and influential figure within the Sussex Business Community for many years, he is the Managing Director at the Grand Brighton and Richmond Hill Hotels, Andrew Mosley.


This is a truly brilliant episode packed with passion, inspiration, insights, humour and a lot more. We take a look back and Andrew's life growing up and how an experience in a restaurant at a young age played with his emotions and ignited a passion in him that led to a lifelong career in hospitality. We discuss what it was like running Brighton's most iconic hotel during the global pandemic, the culture he has helped to create at both the Grand and Richmond hill hotels, as well as sharing a couple of stories about some well known public figures, the Ricky Gervais story is pure gold. The main takeaway though is clear throughout the entire episode and that is Andrew's clear passion and love for hospitality. He is someone from a young age that followed his passion, was focused, genuinely loves what he does and why he has no regrets.


Everyone has a story to tell...

  • 84. #84 Inspiring Dreams: The Making of 'Vindication Swim' with Elliott Hasler

    59:47
    Our guest this week, is the trailblazing British film director and screenwriter, Elliott Hasler, renowned for his upcoming cinematic masterpiece, 'Vindication Swim.' This award-winning visionary has dedicated three years to crafting this fantastic movie, capturing the essence of courage, resilience, and determination in the face of both icy English Channel waters and the oppressive societal norms of 1920s England.In a cinematic odyssey that took him from the depths of the English Channel to the prestigious Warner Bros. De Lane Lea Studios, Hasler's relentless pursuit of excellence has garnered attention from industry titans and media moguls alike. Variety, Deadline, The Times, and the Daily Mail have sung praises, while BBC and ITV news documented the extraordinary development of this biopic.Elliott's cinematic journey commenced at an early age with the creation of 'WWII: The Long Road Home.' A testament to his prodigious talent, this film, completed in 2017 at the tender age of 16, earned accolades from New York critic Graham Fuller, who deemed it "a miracle achievement for a schoolboy director."In our conversation, Elliott delves into his deep-seated passion for filmmaking, emphasizing the paramount importance of pursuing one's dreams. The genesis of 'Vindication Swim' springs from his inspiration drawn from the incredible life of Mercedes Gleitze, the first British woman to conquer the Channel. This inspirational tale not only showcases Mercedes' triumph over frigid waters but also underscores her battle against the societal shackles of the roaring twenties.March 8, 2024, marks a momentous occasion, as 'Vindication Swim' is set to be unleashed on the world, perfectly aligned with International Women's Day, celebrating the indomitable spirit of women. Elliott's journey at the tender age of 23 is nothing short of staggering, and this conversation serves as a testament to his unwavering passion for filmmaking.
