Building Fulfillment, Connection, and a Life We Love to Live
The world that we live in today seems to have the deck stacked against us.
Building meaningful connection in relationships is hard, period. The virtual age of outrage only makes it harder. Regardless of where we look, there is someone better looking, with more money, and happier than we are. As a result, we’re struggling to feel that we are making enough, doing enough, being enough, and more than anything, struggling to feel seen.
The blueprint that Steve lays out in his book could just as easily be applied to high permitting startups and product design as it could one’s own life. Customers, colleagues, friends and family all deserve great hospitality.

But what if the way we feel seen, is to see others first? Like having to give our breath away, before getting the next one, what if we took a risk, and gave what we need most? What if ‘enough’ wasn’t about material or achievement; what if enough was about connection and how we showed up for those around us. What if that feeling of being seen, directly correlated to our ability to think like a host, and see first those around us and those we care about most.
Becoming moment engineers and incredible hosts, we truly create the world we want to live in and in this session, Steve Fortunato will teach us exactly how. Steve Fortunato has spent decades in hospitality as the founder and CEO of roomforty, hosting presidents, a-list celebrates, and thousands of weddings and once-in-a-lifetime events.
He has distilled what separates great experiences where people feel like a guest of honor, from those who feel uninvited and ready to head for the exits, and shares how to build connection and belonging along the way.
He shares his learnings through a framework he calls the Cycle of Virtuous Hospitality; a guide to creating incredible experiences where our people feel at home and are enabled to be the best they can be. Recognizing we can’t make others feel at home, until we’re at home with ourselves, he shows the connection between hosting others, and hosting ourselves. Steve’s guide has been shared with category leading companies, helping us honor those they host and connect with, earn the respect of those around them, and learn the currency of celebrating others while feeling celebrated.
People leave Steve’s sessions with a renewed sense of connection and belonging, and the exact steps they need to be the hosts and they dreamed they would be.
