Donatella Caggiano was living in a Best Western while her flooded apartment got fixed when she watched a SWAT team raid a neighbouring house to catch a fugitive. She caught herself rooting for the person running and then realised she was the person running. Donatella accepted the hint her body and the universe were giving then drove to her office that morning and quit.The job she walked away from was a corporate role she had stayed in through a merger and acquisition that kept her and her team in the dark, and left everyone working in an unfinished office surrounded by moving boxes for months. The message was clear long before the layoffs: stop investing. Stop expecting. Just wait.The hotel window was Donatella's accidental third space — the room outside both home and work where she could finally see herself. She now designs that room intentionally, for teams. She helps organisations have conversations the office wasn't built for, to rebuild belonging in places where gratitude is demanded and silence is rewarded.We talked about why grief gets skipped when organisations change, what happens to a team when a leader hands back agency instead of holding the line, and what four haircuts taught her about leading through change.Links to learn more about Donatella Caggiano:WebsiteLinkedInNewsletterSubstackPodcastAny thoughts?

The wait is over. Trey Wilson, the voice of the Richmond Flying Squirrels on 910 The Fan, owner of one of the most aggressively orange baseball card collections in existence, and the freshly minted 2025 Tosty winner for Breakthrough Friendship of the Year, finally pulls up a chair.Trey takes us through the unlikely path that got him here: a flyer on a college bulletin board, a volleyball broadcast he was extremely bad at, a brief detour out of school he won't fully explain, and a slow climb through the Blue Jays minor league system from Bluefield to Lansing to Altoona before landing in Richmond. Along the way: idolizing Will Clark, sitting across from John Smoltz, why his "stats and research department" is actually just him on his third Celsius at 4 a.m. in a Best Western, and the running tally on his Martinsville hot dog record (currently 15, and yes he's trying to beat it).Catch Squirrels broadcasts on the Odyssey app (Sports Radio 910 The Fan) or on MLB.TV with the Giants set as a favorite.

Der Vater empfiehlt seinem Sohn eine Hotelfachausbildung. Was sich in heutigen Zeiten wie ein Science-Fiction-Roman anhört, war 1987 einfach so. Michael's Vater war viel in Hotels unterwegs und manchmal war der Sohnemann mit dabei... So begann eine große Deutschland-Hotelreise von Bremen über Bad Kissingen nach Weeze bei Best Western, Steigenberger, Arcona und heute im Schloss Wissen. Bei Stefan Schörghuber und Michael Toedt wurde die Datenmanagement-Expertise perfektioniert und durch einige Selbstständigkeiten finden wir den Sinn in dem Satz "Ich habe immer gerne Neuland betreten!". Im Rahmen der Selbstständigkeit gibt es einen Teil einer Mitarbeit, die in der heute insolvenzreichen Zeit aufhorchen lässt: Insolvenzmanagement Da stellen wir uns doch Fragen, oder? a) Wie kommt es zu (Hotel)-Insolvenzen, wie erkennt man diese rechtzeitig und vor allem: Wie kommuniziert diese allen gegenüber? b) Welche Marken wurden von Michael bei Steigenberger mit auf die Schiene gebracht und welche gibt es davon heute noch? c) Daten, Daten, Daten - warum? d) Was fasziniert Michael immer wieder am Neuland? e) Mit 60 Jahren noch mal ein Hotel führen - warum ist das Schloss Wissen am Niederrhein ein Rohdiamant? Gutes Hören wünschen Michael Lemke und Sascha Brenning!

In November 1986, 24-year-old June Carpenter Gilkerson left her Midland home to meet a probationer she supervised at the Midland County Restitution Center. She never returned.Her blue Honda Civic was found abandoned at a Best Western near Interstate 20, purse and belongings still inside. Evidence quickly pointed to probationer David Russell Alderink and Midland library custodian Kenneth Wayne Parker, who had discussed abducting women for profit.Alderink later admitted helping set up June's abduction, claiming Parker carried out the attack. Investigators uncovered physical evidence, contradictory alibis, and recorded conversations between the men. Though June's body was never recovered, Parker was convicted in federal court of conspiracy to kidnap and sentenced to two consecutive life terms. Alderink received 20 years after pleading guilty to aggravated kidnapping.Nearly four decades later, June Gilkerson has never been found.If you have any information about the disappearance of June Gilkerson, please contact the Midland Police Department at (432) 685-7108.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Stora mängder data har läckt ur hotellbokningssystem. Hotellkedjan Best Western har bland annat läckt gästers namn, telefonnummer, mejladresser, bokningsdatum och bokningspriser. Nu utnyttjar bedragare den stulna informationen för att skicka ovanligt detaljerade nätfiskemeddelanden, i hopp om att lura av gästerna deras betalkortsuppgifter. En av gästerna som berörs är Karl Emil Nikka själv. I veckans podd pratar han och Peter Esse om hur Best Western har hanterat situationen, något Nikka beskriver som ett skolboksexempel på hur företag inte bör göra efter en personuppgiftsincident. Podduon pratar också om ett internt mejl som har läckt från det Amazon-ägda företaget Ring som tillverkar ringklockor med inbyggda övervakningskameror. Ring hamnade i blåsväder efter en misslyckad annonskampanj. Ring trodde att deras kunder skulle välkomna en ny funktion som gjorde att Ring-kameranätverket kunde hitta bortsprungna hundar. Kunderna tolkade i stället annonskampanjen som en inblick i en dystopisk framtid där varenda dörrklocka utnyttjas för att spåra människor. Det läckta interna mejlet besannade oron för framtida ändamålsglidning. Spårandet av hundar var bara ett steg på vägen mot att spåra människor.

Issu d'une famille d'hôteliers, il gère avec sa sœur deux établissements en Alsace. Son parcours professionnel est marqué par une série d'expériences enrichissantes, allant de son service militaire à des postes en Angleterre chez Novotel et Hilton. En 1999, il rejoint l'entreprise familiale, déjà affiliée à Best Western depuis 1993.

En 2022, il est élu président de Best Western France, un rôle qui lui permet de combiner ses compétences en gestion et son amour pour l'hôtellerie. Pierre nous offre, ici, une vue d'ensemble sur le fonctionnement de Best Western, une coopérative d'hôteliers indépendants. Quelles sont les particularités de cette organisation ? Comment se distingue-t-elle des chaînes hôtelières intégrées comme Accor ? Quelles sont les grandes lignes de la vision stratégique de Best Western France pour les années à venir ?

Auch nach 112 Folgen gibt es nicht, was es nicht gibt! Kurz vor Partybeginn sitzen wir im Aufnahmeraum. Ich packe mein Equipment aus und bemerke, dass mein iPad, warum auch immer, nur noch 1 % Akku hat. Es kann leider nicht gleichzeitig aufladen und aufnehmen. Conny und Philip bleiben, trotz 700 kommenden Gästen, völlig entspannt. Das beschreibt schon mal ein Merkmal des Führungsduos des MOA Berlin: Gelassenheit, denn es ist ohnehin nicht zu ändern. Der dann später beginnende Podcast ist thematisch etwas komprimiert, aber wir erfahren trotzdem eine Menge über die beiden: Conny ist ehemalige Leistungsschwimmerin, aber es reicht leider nicht für ganz oben. Sie startet eine Hotelkarriere arbeitet in dieser insgesamt über 13 Jahre mit meinem zweimaligen Schnack-Gast Paolo Masaracchia zusammen. Ihr Weg führt u.a. von Berlin über Hannover wieder nach Berlin, wo Paolo das damalige Best Western Premier Hotel MOA Berlin über 10 Jahre zum Erfolg führt. Nun ist Paolo im Seniorenresidenz-Segment tätig und Conny immer noch im jetzt genannten MOA Berlin. Philip Ibrahim wächst im Ländle auf und kommt nach dortigen Stationen 2007 das erste Mal in die Hauptstadt. Dann sagt er sich, Du musst mal über den Tellerrand springen. Dass dieser gleich der Tschad in Afrika bedeutet, war nicht geplant, hat Philip aber entscheidende Erfahrungen mitgegeben. Ab September 2010 war nur noch Berlin angesagt. Novotel, Mercure und das damalige The Student Hotel (heute The Social Hub) kamen vor dem Mercure Hotel MOA Berlin, jetzt MOA Berlin... Wir erfahren viel über die beiden, auch durch die Überraschungsfragen von Robert van der Graaf, Franziska Dingel, Sascha Dalig sowie Philipp Sebastian Ingenillem und Nadja Dahlmann. Kommt mit auf die Hotelreise von Conny Doß und Philip Ibrahim und begleitet deren Ideen für ein markenunabhängiges Kongresshotel, dass immerhin das zweitgrößte in Berlin ist. Gutes Hören!

Episode 169 DNA ID Replay; The case of Lee Rotatori While Jess is on winter break preparing new episodes of DNA ID for 2026, we are airing some of our favorite one part episodes weekly in  what we call 'DNA ID Replay' episodes. These Replay episodes will air every week while on break with the exception of Christmas week. In this replay episode, we explore the case of Lee Rotatori which originally aired in episode 70.  In June 1982, Lee Rotatori was excited for the new job that meant a move to Council Bluffs, Iowa. But when Lee was found murdered in the Best Western there, police were stumped. The only clue was floral foam on the floor, and there were no suspects. Lee knew only a few people in town, and her husband was over 600 miles away when she was raped and stabbed in Room 106. Her case went cold. When forensic genealogy pointed to a man named Thomas Freeman as her killer, it just added to the mystery. Freeman had been murdered within weeks of Lee, and his killer was unknown. And, he had no connection whatsoever to Council Bluffs, or Lee. But he did have a connection to Carbondale, IL, where he lived 15 miles from Lee's husband Jerry Nemke – who had a history of his own.

Check out the latest Suite Spot episode featuring SVP and CMO at Best Western Hotels, Joelle Park! Joelle joins the Suite Spot to discuss the incredible BWH portfolio, their Life's a Trip campaign, marketing to different traveler segments, and much more.  Be sure to catch the full episode now! Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree, here for another special edition of The Suite Spot. I am so excited to bring in our guest today. We're gonna be talking about everything, the Best Western Hotels and Resorts brand, but also marketing that is, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Joelle Park. Thank you so much, Joelle, for being on the Suite Spot with me today. Joelle Park: Thank you for having me, Ryan. Ryan Embree: We're gonna have a great conversation about marketing, about your wonderful brand. Some of the recognitions that the brand has seen recently. And we're gonna talk about some industries trends as well. But as per tradition here at the Suite Spot and really hospitality, we love to hear everyone's kind of journey story that led you in. You know, sometimes we have people just fall into the industry, but at the end of the day, a lot of people fall in love with our industry 'cause hospitality is one of the, if not best industries to work in. Talk to us a little bit about your story, Joelle, and what led you to SVP and CMO at Best Western Hotel and Resorts. Joelle Park: Thanks, Ryan. Well, I'm really excited to be here and it sounds like many others. I have fallen into hospitality and fallen in love. I've spent over two decades in marketing overall working across brand strategy, customer experience, communications, and on every project, every account, it's about driving results through innovative marketing. Early in my career, I started agency site and I partnered up some incredible brands in retail, entertainment, technology, and my last client was hospitality. And that's where I fell in love with the industry. And now I've spent really more than 16 years in hospitality telling compelling stories. I have a love of travel personally, but I also just believe in the power of travel to make the world a better place. So I've been fortunate to take on some leadership roles spanning across loyalty. Now product development and something I'm especially passionate about is culture and customer experience, because the most powerful form of advertising really is the customer experience here at BWH Hotels. I have the privilege of leading our marketing, communications, loyalty and partnerships teams, and that's encompassing of Best Western rewards and Worlds Hotels rewards. So excited to share more about what we're up to. Ryan Embree: Yeah, it's exciting to hear and it's interesting because hospitality, you talk to a lot of hoteliers in the hospitality world, and they say, although it's a massive industry, right, it's a very small world. You run into people that you know all the time. Sometimes you're working with one brand, then you go to another brand. But I always find it fascinating to find stories like yours, Joelle, where you start outside of hospitality maybe, and then find your way into it. Because I do think that really does show the passion and love that people have towards our industry because once that bug, you know, and it happens to travel too, it grabs a hold of you. It's hard to let go. And here you are. And a lot of the hospitality professionals that I have spoken to they've had that exposure to other industries. And there's just something about hospitality that is so special. And I think you nailed it on the head about talking about the power that travel has. And one of the things within travel is storytelling. And I've heard you in other interviews talk about your passion and storytell...

It is summer road trip season so it is time to recap some of our best road trip tips from preparing, planning, packing, and more. Plus, we share some of our favorite road trips. Episode Highlights Before you head out on a road trip, make sure your car has been serviced recently and check the tires to make sure the pressure is correct. You may also want to top off your fluids and use the bug windshield washer fluid. Bring a go-to kit with wipes, sanitizer, tissues, lip balm, moisturizer, sun screen, and eye drops. Also bring a couple of extra baggies or ziploc bags. Bring a trash bag for the front and back (or for each kid) and empty the trash at each stop. Bring a small cooler and ice pack that you can refreeze each night for left overs and snacks. Have a specific spot for your snacks that can be refilled when needed. Use a car freshener or car air purifier to help keep food smells away. You may want to consider a AAA membership and bring your card with you. For longer road trips, consider bringing a carry on bag with a duffle bag instead of a larger checked bag. Use a duffle bag to transport what you need in and out each night. It is good to have one overnight bag for toiletries and pajamas for everyone that always goes in. Bring a laundry bag that you can put your dirty clothes in each day in your car or larger suitcase. Plan an overnight stay at a place that has laundry facilities. When choosing where to stay, consider staying just off the highway where you are more likely to find a chain hotel that has free breakfast and free parking (and laundry facilities). Plus it is easy to get on and off the highway. Some of the chains like Best Western have summer promotions for multiple stays. Some apps to have are Gas Buddy, Road Trippers, and of course Google or Apple Maps. Google Maps is also good at showing you how busy attractions are at different times of the day. For road trips in less-populated areas, bring a road atlas or paper maps (you can get free maps at AAA if you are a member) Maine Coast road trip - read the full post here: https://we3travel.com/boston-to-bar-harbor-a-maine-coast-road-trip-itinerary/ Florida Keys road trip - read more here: https://yourtimetofly.com/key-west-girls-trip/ Canadian Rockies road trip - read more here: https://we3travel.com/canadian-rockies-vacation-itinerary/ West Coast road trip - read more here: https://stuffedsuitcase.com/west-coast-road-trip/ Road trip packing list: https://stuffedsuitcase.com/pack-car-road-trip/ Related Episodes West Coast road trip Southwest Grand Circle road trip Oregon Coast road trip California road trip Midwest road trip Family road trip tips
