Über diesen Titel
In this episode of Bed and Butter, we sit down with Joe Van Why, a visionary hospitality developer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist whose impact on Maine’s hotel industry—and the future of hospitality education—can’t be overstated.
Joe shares his remarkable story of starting in a hotel laundry room at just 12 years old, working his way to the front desk as a teenager, and ultimately building hospitality properties and businesses across the country. From launching major resort developments and serving on high-level hospitality boards—including the early days of the Ritz-Carlton brand—Joe offers an inside look at what it takes to succeed in the hotel and tourism industry.
The conversation also explores why Joe chose to give back through Southern Maine Community College, helping strengthen workforce development and student opportunity through the L.Joe Van Why School of Hospitality. Along the way, he offers candid advice to students and young professionals on confidence, leadership, mentorship, and overcoming rejection.
Whether you’re pursuing hotel management, tourism, culinary, resort operations, or entrepreneurship, this episode is packed with real-world insight from one of Maine’s most influential hospitality leaders.
