ABOUT THE BOOK

Thirty years into building and leading a global hospitality performance company, Renie Cavallari has learned one undeniable truth: leadership is never finished. Sh*t I’m Still Learning: 30 Lessons Over 30 Years of Leading is a candid, insightful reflection on what it really takes to grow a business, build high-performing teams, and lead with resilience over decades — not just quarters. This short, story-driven book shares thirty hard-earned lessons drawn from real experiences: the wins, the missteps, the pivots, and the perspective shifts that shaped Aspire’s 30-year journey. With honesty, edge, and heart, Renie explores themes of courage, culture, reinvention, self-awareness, accountability, and the evolving nature of leadership in an ever-changing world. This is not a textbook. It’s not theory. It’s lived leadership. Written for executives, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders alike, this book is both a celebration of legacy and a reminder that the most powerful leaders are the ones still willing to learn. Because thirty years in… the growth continues.
