In this episode, we are joined by Sean Billing, whose fascinating journey began in the small city of Brockville, Ontario. For those unfamiliar with the geography, Brockville is a charming locale situated about 45 minutes east of Kingston, along the picturesque St. Lawrence River.

After completing university and spending a brief period in teaching, Sean found his true calling in the hospitality industry. His passion has led him on an extraordinary career path, encompassing hotels and resorts across Canada, the United States, and Africa. Ultimately, Sean's journey brought him back to eastern Ontario, where he now serves as the Managing Partner at The Frontenac Club.

The Frontenac Club, rich in history spanning 180 years, has hosted notable figures such as Alexander Graham Bell and, writer, Michael Ondaatje. Today, it stands as a 20-room hotel in the heart of historical Kingston, offering guests a unique blend of heritage and modern comfort.

Join us as we delve into Sean's experiences and insights in the hospitality industry and learn more about the storied past and vibrant present of The Frontenac Club.
