Debbie Marriott Harrison shares the remarkable life and legacy of her father J.W. Marriott, co-founder of the world’s largest hotel conglomerate. Known for his unparalleled business success, Bill Marriott’s journey has been deeply rooted in his faith, humility, and a commitment to serving others. From placing over 1.3 million copies of the Book of Mormon in hotel rooms to fostering positive relations for the church worldwide, his influence extends far beyond the hospitality industry. We delve into how his faith has guided him through pivotal moments, including a near fatal boat accident and near-financial collapse during the real estate recession and what he hopes his legacy will be.
