The South’s Grand Hotel: Peabody Hotels & Resorts

The rich history of the “South’s Grand Hotel” & story-filled traditions were recently shared in the studio by none other than Doug Browne, FCBE alumna and president of Peabody Hotels & Resorts. Doug takes a deeper dive into how the original Peabody hotel, located in right here in Memphis, has strategically positioned itself as a nationally-renowned hospitality leader of fine dining & luxury experiences. And of course, listen in for the true origin story behind the legendary ducks and how Oprah Winfrey, herself, once served as an honorary Duckmaster.
