Hi! This is Namita Ramani, I’m excited to share the latest episode of The Forward Thinking People Podcast with you!
I met Anthony Guss during an early morning cycle ride, and we quickly became friends.
Little did I know, behind the bike helmet was a man with an extraordinary story—a 41-year journey in business, a former Olympian skier, and a man who grew his family company into a global success.
Anthony didn’t always plan to join the family business. After studying marketing, he had other dreams, but life had a different path for him. His father convinced him to step into the company, and instead of just following in his footsteps, Anthony transformed it—expanding globally, working with luxury hotels, and establishing a reputation for quality.
In our conversation, Anthony shares his incredible insights on:
-
Building a business that lasts 41 years
-
How he navigated through challenges and international markets
-
Finding the right clients in the competitive hospitality industry
-
The role resilience plays in both sports and business
-
His unique perspective on money—it’s not about sitting on piles of cash, but about the chase for the next opportunity

This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone in business, especially entrepreneurs looking to scale, find the right clients, or simply hear an inspiring story of grit and growth.
Don’t miss this one! Hit play, and let me know what you think.
PS: Both me and Anthony ride in the community and are part of Team Boon. Basically, Boon Cafe sponsors us with free coffees, of course as long as we wear the boon jerseys…
PPS: Every Friday we have a cake ride with team Boon. After the ride someone usually sponsors a cake and we enjoy it with our coffee. Anthony started this initiative after being inspired by a cake ride he happened to attend one of the evenings. This has become the most popular ride in the community, and sometimes we have about 40+ cyclists in a day. We split into 2 and sometimes 3 groups for safety reasons.
PPS: Here is a little glimpse of us riding together. Enjoying the cake after a fast Boon ride.
Can you spot me and Anthony in this picture? 🙂
