I sat down with Ranya Nehmeh, HR strategist, professor, and author of In Praise of the Office. Our conversation reinforced what I've been hearing from many clients lately. HR today isn't just policies or processes. -It's culture. -It's learning. -It's how people actually develop in a distributed world. HR is a strategy now -Culture, development, and psychological safety—all part of the role. The hybrid has to be designed -Onboarding, mentoring, and collaboration don't happen by default. If people come in only to sit on Zoom, something's off. Leaders set the tone -Presence, learning, and collaboration follow what leaders model. When work is designed with care, people feel it. And when people feel it, they show up differently. And that's where great work starts— and where retention improves as people choose to stay. --- Dr. Ranya Nehmeh is a people and talent management expert, future of work advocate, author, and adjunct university professor. With over 20 years of experience across both the private and public sectors, she has worked at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and human capital.

Matseyasana -- China (5 October 2009 - Frankfurt, GER)

Julian Nagelsmann – das spannendste Trainertalent der letzten Jahre und seit dieser Saison Headcoach des FC Bayern München. Was für eine Karriere....! 2016 rettete er die TSG Hoffenheim im zarten Traineralter von 28 Jahren vor dem Abstieg und etablierte den Verein im oberen Leistungs-Regal. Anschließend führte er RB Leipzig ins Halbfinale der Champions League. Und jetzt also Bayern! Doch heute muss er sich erstmal den knallharten Fragen der Brüder Kroos stellen: Erfolgte der Wechsel zu Bayern zum richtigen Zeitpunkt? Wird Nagelsmann die fünf Jahre seines Vertrages bei Bayern voll machen? Muss sich ein Verein wie FC Bayern überhaupt dem Spiel seiner Gegner anpassen? Sind hohe Ablösesummen für Trainer eine gute Idee? Wieviele Einzelszenen gilt es nach der ersten Saisonschlappe gegen Frankfurt zu analysieren? Und was macht Julian Nagelsmann eigentlich in der Länderspielpause? Los geht's! Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Das Faultier erscheint dem Menschen wie ein Affront der Evolution. Alfed Brehm, Tierbeobachter, notierte: "Die Faultiere machen einen wahrhaft kläglichen Eindruck". Entnommen aus: Hanne Tügel "Wege zur Weisheit", S. Fischer Verlag, Frankfurt 2013

Woop! Woop! Neue Folge und es wird wieder historisch und politisch! Zuerst spreche ich mit dem Politikwissenschaftler Thomas Biebricher über den Sammelband „Oben Rechts" (Suhrkamp). Die zentrale Provokation des Buches: Rechtspopulismus ist keine Revolte der Abgehängten — er ist ein gezielt vorangetriebenes Projekt. Nicht Arbeiter, sondern konservative Unternehmer, Berlusconis und Musks, Thiels und Chrupallas, stehen im Mittelpunkt — Männer, die ihr eigenes Kapital in politische Macht ummünzen. Biebricher, Heisenberg-Professor für Politische Theorie an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, kennt die Rechte von innen wie von außen. Was bedeutet das für die Demokratie — wenn ihre Feinde nicht unten, sondern oben sitzen? Danach kommt Konstantin Richter mit „Dreihundert Männer. Aufstieg und Fall der Deutschland AG" (Suhrkamp) — frisch ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Sachbuchpreis 2026. Dreihundert deutsche Männer bestimmten einst die wirtschaftlichen Geschicke des Kontinents — ein enges Geflecht aus Bankiers, Industriekapitänen und Lobbyisten, das sich mit Unternehmen wie Allianz, Krupp und Siemens herausgebildet hatte. Richter erzählt diese Geschichte als episches Panorama — und fragt: Wie wenig die damit verbundenen Vorstellungen noch auf die Gegenwart passen — und was das für ein Land bedeutet, das sich noch immer über seine Wirtschaftskraft definiert. Zwei Bücher, ein Thema: Wer hat in diesem Land eigentlich die Macht — und wie lange schon? Enjoy!^^

Rodney Bysh has spent 30 years operating between Germany and the UK. He set up what's now a €68bn real estate platform from a serviced office at Henderson, did M&A at Rothschild & Co, built and sold Cording Real Estate to Edmond de Rothschild, and then started again. Feldberg Capital launched at the end of 2022, merged with Brunswick Property Partners, and has grown from £500m to £2bn under management with a team of 30 across Berlin, Frankfurt and London. The conversation covers a lot of ground, but the through line is Rodney's view that this is the best window he's seen in his career for London offices. Rents are low and growing fast, there's virtually no supply, and institutional sellers are letting go of their best assets to free up liquidity. Three years ago it was a contrarian position. Now the market's catching up, but he thinks the opportunity is still there. He's also unusually well placed to explain the German market to a UK audience. Feldberg is one of the few platforms with genuine boots on the ground in both countries, and Rodney's bilingual background - he grew up between the UK and Germany after his family left Uganda - gives him access to a layer of local operators and developers that most London-based investors never reach. The People Property Place Podcast is powered by Rockbourne, recruiting leadership talent for real estate funds, owners, investors, and developers.

Was passiert, wenn der Gipfel zum Greifen nah ist – und du trotzdem umdrehst?In dieser Folge spricht Benjamin mit David Göttler, einem der bekanntesten deutschen Profi-Bergsteiger. David hat den Mount Everest ohne zusätzlichen Sauerstoff bestiegen, war mehrfach am Nanga Parbat unterwegs und zählt zu den Menschen, die sich bewusst für einen besonders puristischen Stil im Höhenbergsteigen entscheiden: ohne Flaschensauerstoff, ohne Sherpa-Unterstützung, ohne den leichtesten Weg.Dabei geht es in dieser Episode nicht nur ums Bergsteigen. Es geht um Themen, die auch für Läufer, Leichtathleten und alle Sportbegeisterten extrem spannend sind: mentale Stärke, Vorbereitung, Training, Angst, Risiko, Entscheidungsfähigkeit und die Frage, wie man unter extremem Druck klar bleibt.David erzählt, warum er 2019 nur rund 100 Höhenmeter unter dem Everest-Gipfel umdrehen musste, obwohl das Ziel bereits sichtbar war. Er erklärt, warum er zusätzlichen Sauerstoff für sich persönlich als eine Form von „Doping“ empfindet und weshalb der Gipfel im Bergsteigen nie die Ziellinie ist – sondern nur Halbzeit.Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt der Folge liegt auf dem Nanga Parbat, den David im fünften Anlauf über eine besonders anspruchsvolle Route bestiegen hat. Für ihn war diese Expedition emotional sogar größer als der Everest. Nach dem Gipfel stieg er noch ein Stück ab – und flog anschließend mit dem Gleitschirm zurück ins Basislager. In voller Ausrüstung aus der Todeszone landet er wenige Minuten später auf einer grünen Wiese. Ein Moment, der fast surreal klingt.Außerdem sprechen Benjamin und David über sein Training für Achttausender: Ausdauerblöcke, Stairmaster-Einheiten mit Zusatzgewicht, Laktatsteuerung, mentale Vorbereitung und die Bedeutung von Geduld. Gerade für Sportlerinnen und Sportler steckt in dieser Folge viel Transfer: Wie setzt man Mikroziele? Wann ist Durchziehen stark – und wann ist Umdrehen die klügere Entscheidung? Wie geht man mit Angst um? Und wie trainiert man den Kopf, wenn die äußeren Bedingungen nicht kontrollierbar sind?Passend zur Veröffentlichung ist David aktuell mit dem Alpen Film Festival 2026 auf Premieren-Tour durch Deutschland. Bei mehreren Terminen ist er live vor Ort – unter anderem in Bayreuth, Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Frankfurt, Köln, Dortmund und Hamburg. Alle Infos findet ihr beim Alpen Film Festival und bei David Göttler.Themen der FolgeDavids Weg vom kletternden Kind zum Profi-BergsteigerWarum Bergsteigen für ihn Leidenschaft und Lebensinhalt istParallelen zwischen Extrembergsteigen und LeistungssportTraining für Achttausender: Ausdauer, Kraft und mentale BelastbarkeitStairmaster mit Zusatzgewicht und LaktatsteuerungWarum zusätzlicher Sauerstoff für David die Herausforderung verändertEverest ohne Sauerstoff und ohne Sherpa-UnterstützungWarum David 100 Höhenmeter vor dem Gipfel umdrehteEntscheidungen unter Extremdruck: Davids persönliches AmpelsystemAngst als Warnsignal statt SchwächeNanga Parbat: fünf Anläufe, eine riesige Wand und ein Karriere-HighlightDer Flug mit dem Gleitschirm aus 7.700 Metern zurück ins BasislagerWas Läufer und Leichtathleten vom Höhenbergsteigen lernen könnenLinks zur FolgeDavid Göttler bei Instagram: @david_goettlerDavid Göttler Website: david-goettler.deAlpen Film Festival: alpenfilmfestival.deUnterstütze MainAthletWenn dir die Folge gefallen hat, freue ich mich riesig, wenn du den Podcast abonnierst, die Episode teilst oder eine Bewertung da lässt.

Diese Folge hat alles, was das Plattcast-Herz begehrt: Märchen, Meistertitel, Weltwissen und natürlich gepflegten Kokoloris. ✨ Ralf war mit seiner Familie in Frankfurt unterwegs und berichtet von einem zauberhaften Abend.

The philosophers of the Frankfurt School practiced a technique called negative dialectics, where concepts are defined as much by what you can't say about them as what you can. Appropriately, the Frankfurt School has ended up defined by what you can't say about them. You can't say that they invented a new form of left-wing thought called Cultural Marxism. This would be (according to Wikipedia) the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, a "far right anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that misinterprets Western Marxism, especially the Frankfurt School, as being responsible for modern progressive movements, identity politics, and political correctness". You're not supposed to dub them a transitional stage between Communism and postmodernism. You're not allowed to speculate that a lot of the academic humanities, as they're practiced today, descend from the Frankfurt School's brand of critical theory. You're not supposed to think of them as the point where the muscular pro-technology leftism of the early 1900s shattered into the pessimistic degrowth leftism of the present. Art is long, life is short. Most of us only manage to not do a few things in our limited span on Earth. But the Frankfurt School managed to not invent so many movements - to not be involved in so many of the crucial ideological shifts of the past century - that they caught my attention. Who were these people? What other aspects of our culture might we be unable to say they were involved in? For answers, I turned to the classic history of the group, Martin Jay's The Dialectical Imagination. The basics are simple enough: the School was founded in Frankfurt in 1923. It attracted great philosophers like Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and Herbert Marcuse. When the Nazis took power in the early 1930s, the mostly-Jewish Frankfurters fled to America, where friendly locals helped them continue their work in affiliation with Columbia University. Mid-century Americans were suckers for sophisticated European intellectuals, and when the rise of fascism and World War II started dominating headlines, the German-Jewish Frankfurters were natural experts to help Americans process the situation. By the end of the war, they were firmly established as thought leaders. Some - including Horkheimer and Adorno - returned to Germany to rebuild its intellectual culture from the ruins; others stayed in America and remained relevant through the 60s and 70s. But figuring out what the Frankfurters believed is more complicated. Forget about the thin line between universally-acknowledged fact and fascist conspiracy theory. The School itself was famously coy, worrying that if they explained themselves too clearly, people would caricature their beliefs and integrate them into the existing capitalist system. Even when they did speak "clearly", it was in the sort of German philosophical register where "the negation of the negation" is a totally normal thing to say. Having only read a single book on them, I will no doubt fall into all the failure modes that they and their successors warned us against. But here are the analogies, intuition pumps, and parables that I found helpful. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-the-dialectical-imagination

Die Hitzewelle kommt – und Nick steckt mitten im Heat-Training für Roth. Gemeinsam mit Nils spricht er über Schweißraten, Heat Suit, Core-App, Ironman-Intervalle und die Frage, warum Hitzetraining zwar brutal sein kann, aber gerade jetzt vor Frankfurt und Roth ein echter Gamechanger werden könnte. Außerdem geht es um eine der wichtigsten Entscheidungen in den letzten Wochen vor der Langdistanz: durchziehen oder rausnehmen? Nick erzählt, warum er eine geplante lange Einheit gekürzt und den Koppellauf gestrichen hat – und Nils ordnet ein, warum genau solche Entscheidungen oft mehr bringen als blindes Abarbeiten des Plans. Körpergefühl, gute vs. schlechte Müdigkeit, Tapering und smarte Anpassungen stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Dazu gibt's den gewohnten Mix aus Material-Nerdtum, Krafttraining zu Hause, BTA-Mount-Recherche, Community-Ride-Vorfreude und einem Blick auf den Ironman Klagenfurt – inklusive großer Wertschätzung für Florian Angerts Comeback und die Frage, warum Klagenfurt als Klassiker wieder mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient. Themen der Folge:Heat Training, Hitzewelle, Roth-Vorbereitung, Frankfurt-Tapering, Körpergefühl, Training anpassen, Longride kürzen, Koppellauf streichen, No-Chain-Days, Krafttraining, BTA-Setup, Ironman Klagenfurt, Florian Angert und Community Ride in Roth.WERBUNG – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PUSHING LIMITS CLUB⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deine All-in-One Trainingsapp für Triathlon, Radfahren und mehr!

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the PDC World Cup of Darts.   The boys kick off the show with a look back at last week's action in Frankfurt, and discuss whether Luke Littler and Luke Humphries could match or break Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis' record haul of four World Cup titles, after winning their first title as a team for England. Alex and Burton also reflect on the Netherlands' run to a first World Cup final in eight years and if they are now the big rivals to England going forward in future World Cups.   Tom Sykes (18:52) joins the show ahead of making his European Tour debut in the Slovak Darts Open this weekend. 'The Castleford Tiger' reflects on his darts career so far, from playing on the Challenge Tour and Development Tour in his early 20s, to then focusing on his football and rediscovering his passion for darts and making his mark on the MODUS Super Series, winning his first ever PDC tour card at Q-School at the start of this year, and being on track for a debut at the PDC World Darts Championship at the end of this season.   Alex and Burton finish up their World Cup review by picking out their World Cup MVPs and discuss what changes they would make to the tournament.   Join the Darts Strava King group on Strava *** Get your own Alex Moss replica shirt (as worn by our co-host at the Las Vegas Open 2026) from DJD here!

BMW vuelve a situarse en el foco informativo. En la jornada de hoy, sus acciones han sufrido una caída superior al 7% tras comunicar el día anterior un ajuste a la baja de sus previsiones. Esta decisión responde al empeoramiento acelerado del mercado chino, así como a las consecuencias derivadas del conflicto en Irán. La compañía estima ahora que su beneficio antes de impuestos disminuirá por encima del 15%, lo que ha generado un impacto negativo no solo en su cotización en la Bolsa de Frankfurt, sino también en el conjunto del sector automovilístico. Ante este escenario adverso, la firma alemana ha optado por reaccionar con rapidez y reforzar su estrategia. Con el objetivo de recuperar terreno frente a sus competidores, ha decidido impulsar el lanzamiento de una renovada versión del BMW X5. Este modelo no se limita a ser una simple actualización, sino que introduce una propuesta innovadora al incorporar cinco sistemas de propulsión distintos, algo inédito hasta ahora dentro de la marca. El nuevo X5 contará con motorizaciones diésel y de gasolina, además de una variante híbrida enchufable. También incluirá, por primera vez, una opción completamente eléctrica, y se prevé que en 2028 llegue una versión impulsada por hidrógeno. Actualmente, el vehículo se encuentra en su etapa final de pruebas en la planta de Spartanburg, en Carolina del Sur, donde será producido. A diferencia de otros fabricantes, BMW mantiene su compromiso con la electrificación, lo que explica los recientes cambios en su cúpula directiva. En diciembre pasado, la empresa anunció la salida de Oliver Zipse como director ejecutivo tras siete años en el cargo. Su sustituto, Milan Nedeljkovic, proveniente del área de producción, ha sido clave en el desarrollo de vehículos eléctricos y de la nueva plataforma “Neue Klasse”. Con esta estrategia, BMW busca hacer frente a la creciente competencia china, especialmente en Europa. Recuperar el mercado chino resulta fundamental, tras una caída del 13% en ventas en 2024 y una estabilización en 2025, en un contexto donde la cuota de marcas extranjeras sigue reduciéndose.

Die Wall Street eilt von Rekord zu Rekord, während der DAX nicht Schritt halten kann. Dahinter stehen konjunkturelle Unterschiede – aber auch strukturelle Faktoren: Deutschland bietet weniger Tech und KI, der DAX ist zyklischer aufgestellt, und der deutsche Kapitalmarkt spielt international eine kleinere Rolle, als viele denken. Was das für die Depotaufstellung von Anlegerinnen und Anlegern bedeutet, erfahren Sie von Dr. Ulrich Stephan, Chefanlagestratege für Privat- und Firmenkunden der Deutschen Bank, und Finanzjournalistin Jessica Schwarzer.

Die Auslegung der relevanten gesetzlichen Regelungen ist zudem nicht eindeutig und abschließend.

Show Notes: Gaurav Bhosle talks about his coaching practice, which is split 50/50 between helping people get hired by consulting firms and coaching current consultants. He shares his background as an ex-McKinsey consultant and his MBA from HEC Paris, noting the lack of preparation structures for consulting firms in 2006-2007. Breaking into Consulting Gaurav recounts how a former HEC alum helped him prepare for consulting firms, leading to his success in joining McKinsey in Frankfurt. He explains his transition from McKinsey to coaching, driven by his passion for strategy and career development, and his decision to focus on career strategy for consultants. Gaurav discusses his realization that breaking into consulting is not the ultimate goal but thriving in it is. The Upskilling Journey He shares his journey of upskilling, including obtaining ICF certification, psychometric tools, NLP, and TA, to provide deeper career coaching. Gaurav explains his shift from helping people get into consulting to coaching current consultants on career strategies and performance improvement. He emphasizes the importance of career happiness and the need for consultants to thrive in their roles, not just get hired. The Three-step Process  Gaurav describes his three-step process: foundation, parallel tracks (networking and practice), and polishing. He emphasizes the importance of mindset, skill set, and tool set, particularly the mindset of preparing to be a good consultant rather than just cracking interviews. Gaurav details the foundation phase, which includes preparing for cases, understanding fit questions, and polishing the consulting CV. Gaurav outlines the practical steps for case interview preparation, including the importance of practicing with peers and AI. He explains the three-step process for data interpretation: data sanity check, extracting insights, and communicating findings. The Value of Top-down Communication Skills Gaurav emphasizes the importance of top-down communication and preparing fit answers with headlines first. He shares tips for practicing data analytics skills, including using charts as part of case interviews and focusing on the context and problem-solving. Gaurav discusses the challenges of developing top-down communication skills, especially for those from Eastern cultures or non-consulting backgrounds. He shares his personal journey of adapting to top-down communication in McKinsey and the importance of pushing oneself to communicate insights at a higher level.

A las once y cuarenta y dos de la mañana del 6 de mayo de 1937, en un campo de aterrizaje de Lakehurst, Nueva Jersey, el dirigible más grande jamás construido estalló en llamas ante las cámaras de medio mundo. Noventa y siete personas iban a bordo del LZ 129 Hindenburg. Sesenta y dos consiguieron salir con vida de aquel infierno de aluminio, lona e hidrógeno. Las imágenes dieron la vuelta al planeta y, en apenas treinta y cuatro segundos que fue lo que tardó el zepelín en consumirse, se evaporó también la era de los dirigibles de pasajeros. Lo que casi nunca se cuenta, sin embargo, es la historia de lo que ocurrió antes de que la primera chispa saltara. El Hindenburg jamás debería haber despegado aquella mañana de Frankfurt. Las tormentas eléctricas llevaban horas merodeando la costa de Nueva Jersey, y tanto el comandante Max Pruss como el capitán Ernst Lehmann, que había hecho la ruta docenas de veces y conocía el Atlántico Norte como quien conoce el pasillo de su casa, tenían informes meteorológicos sobre la mesa que desaconsejaban la maniobra de aproximación. Pero el Hindenburg acumulaba más de doce horas de retraso, un pecado imperdonable para la aeronave insignia del régimen nazi. Los pasajeros esperaban en el hangar desde primera hora. Los periodistas llevaban allí desde antes del amanecer, con sus cámaras de placa y sus libretas recién estrenadas. La narrativa del vuelo triunfal ya estaba impresa en las mentes de todos, noticiarios, periódicos, autoridades portuarias... mucho antes de que el zepelín hubiera rozado siquiera la costa americana. Así que despegaron. No fueron las tormentas las que condenaron al Hindenburg, por mucho que el hidrógeno ardiera con una voracidad aterradora. Fue la incapacidad de defraudar a una audiencia que ya había comprado el final feliz antes de que el despegue ocurriera. Fue lo que en alemán se llama Termindruck: esa presión invisible, casi atmosférica, que te obliga a cumplir un plazo incluso cuando cada instinto, cada mapa meteorológico y cada maldita nube en el horizonte te está gritando que esperes un poco más, que no hay prisa, que mañana también amanecerá. Esta semana, en Actualidad Semanal +D, hemos dedicado el episodio entero a preguntarnos si los mercados financieros no estarán, precisamente ahora, en una de esas mañanas de junio en las que todo el mundo ha comprado ya el final feliz mientras el barómetro baja en silencio y nadie quiere ser el aguafiestas que señale las nubes. Hemos visto el debut bursátil más grande de la historia, un espectáculo de valoraciones, titulares y fervor popular que tenía que ocurrir porque la narrativa llevaba meses cocinándose y el retraso no era una opción. Hemos visto a gigantes tecnológicos presentar resultados impecables para ser castigados con saña por el mercado, como si la excelencia ya no bastara y hubiera que pedir perdón por el precio del futuro. Y hemos visto, sobre todo, cómo los que venden el cemento (los discretos, los que jamás protagonizan un titular pero facturan sin pausa cada vez que un visionario anuncia una catedral de silicio) siguen ganando dinero como si hubieran encontrado un impuesto privado sobre la ambición humana. No voy a reventar el episodio adelantando sus conclusiones, porque los spoilers son una falta de respeto y porque la gracia está en el viaje, no en la estación de destino. Solo diré que en el programa de esta semana conviven, en extraña armonía, un cohete que vale más que el PIB de Suiza, un trillonario que no puede tocar su fortuna hasta el verano que viene, dos directivos que abandonan un barco en plena tormenta, una sopa centenaria que acaba de ser expulsada del S&P 500 por carecer de glamour algorítmico, y una pregunta que planea sobre cada sección como un zepelín silencioso: si todo el mundo está convencido de que esta vez es diferente, si el consenso es unánime y el fervor popular roza lo religioso, ¿hay alguien en la cabina de mando mirando el barómetro? Escúchalo. Luego hablamos, que de eso se trata. Disponible en todas las mejores plataformas.

Aquesta setmana, A les Portes de Troia, repassem el procés de la unificació alemanya: del fracàs del Parlament de Frankfurt el 1848 a la proclamació imperial al Saló dels Miralls de Versalles el 18 de gener de 1871. Analitzem el paper del Zollverein, el fracàs liberal, l'ascens de Bismarck i la seva "realpolitik", les tres guerres d'unificació i les conseqüències que van transformar el mapa d'Europa per sempre.

Born in Frankfurt to a prominent religious family, Jacob Schiff (1847-1920) was raised in the milieu of Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch's Frankfurt, before migrating to the United States in 1865. Rising rapidly in the investment banking world of Wall Street during the post Civil War economic boom, Schiff emerged as both an exemplary philanthropist, distributing his vast wealth to myriad Jewish causes in America and worldwide, as well as cementing himself as the undisputed leader of American Jewry. Particularly close to his heart was the plight of Russian Jewry under the brutal Czarist regime, and he lobbied for unrestricted immigration to the United States, assisting Jewish immigrants once they arrived. He also financed Japan in the Russo-Japanese War, which led to Japan defeating the Russian Navy. Jacob Schiff's legacy in philanthropy and leadership is largely unmatched in the annals of American Jewish history.  Subscribe to Jewish History Soundbites Podcast on: PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ or your favorite podcast platform Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history or feedback contact Yehuda at: yehuda@yehudageberer.com

NYU IHIF 2026 was full of insights and thought leadership from some of the best and brightest hospitality professionals in the industry.  In this episode of the Suite Spot, you will get to hear from some of the most influential and biggest names in hospitality in the exclusive interviews we were able to cover at the event.  NYU IHIF is the epicentre of hospitality brands, capital, and fast-paced dealmaking – opportunity moves fast, and so should you. This is where the rebound takes shape, where leaders uncover what's next, and where relationships turn into real transactions. 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 and VP of Marketing here at Travel Media Group. Cassady Quintana: And I’m Cassady Quintana, Brand Ambassador here at TMG. Ryan Embree: And today we are fresh back from NYU IHIF 2026. My second time in attending this incredible event. Cassady, your first, what were your thoughts? Cassady Quintana: Yeah, I thought overall was a great event. A lot of optimism, especially as we’re heading into the summer season. So I thought, you know, the conversations that we heard on the panels and the ones that we were having with people were awesome, and a lot of you know, good things coming out of that. I feel like the biggest topics that I heard, there were three major takeaways I took from a lot of the panels and people we were talking to, but one being that K-shape economy that we’ve heard a lot about, right? We know that luxury is still outperforming while economy segments are feeling a little bit more of that pressure especially as we head into this summer season and looking at some of those trends. And then I think one of the biggest topics we have been talking about since the beginning of this year is the World Cup and how international travel we thought was gonna be booming. We were expecting a lot of busy hotels, but it’s kind of been on the softer side, and we’ve actually seen international travel dip a bit. So I think right now we’re kind of in that wait and see period of maybe you know people are waiting to see if their teams make it out of the group stages and then they’ll plan on booking a hotel. So keeping an eye on kind of that last minute travel. But the biggest topic that we were talking about a little bit last year, but the biggest one this year is AI and how hotels are using that within their systems. You know, there’s a lot of trends around using that for more personalization and being able to use it to look at your, you know, revenue optimization and how you’re performing online. So finding ways that we can use AI that doesn’t take the hospitality out of hospitality and doesn’t replace that human element. But that kind of went with that overarching theme of the entire event, which was sharpening the edge. So the thing I took from that is that the hotels that are really gonna win are the ones that are understanding their guests and using AI to further that, to further get to know their guests, to make that experience a little bit better. Ryan Embree: You know, and we had some incredible conversations and interviews with some professionals that we’re gonna share here in a second. But just to kind of jump on what Cassidy’s saying, we’re at a really cool inflection point in our industry right now as we go gear towards the busy travel season. So it’ll be interesting to see, you know, we had the opportunity to meet with development person from Minor hotels who’s looking to bring their brand into US and Canada, which will be very interesting. We know how they have a huge global footprint, a lot of interest early on in getting into the Americas. Uh, we then visited with AHLA and Kevin Carey and his team doing such wonderful work over there advocacy for our industry and some really cool initiatives that we were able to sit down with Kevin for a few minutes and chat about, uh, Jan Freitag from STR our hotel Data North Star and compass. They just released a revised forecast for the hospitality industry. So we went over some major points of that revised forecast and finally we got the opportunity to sit down with president and CEO Best Western Larry Cuculic. What a wonderful conversation about the best Western brand and how they are implementing, um, some of that AI and technology into their brand, and capitalizing on not only the World Cup, but also America 250. So wonderful insights that you’re only gonna find here on the sweet spot. Thank you for joining us. We hope you enjoy these exclusive interviews from NYU IHIF 2026. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Sweet Spot. We are live on location at NYU IHIF 2026 here with Genna, the VP of US and Canada Development for Minor Hotels. Genna, thank you so much for taking the time to stop and the busy big apple and talk with us today. Genna Panagopoulos: Thanks for having me. Ryan Embree: Excited about, this show. A lot of energy, a lot of buzz. You know, when you come to an NYU talking to ownerships, a lot of capital here, what are the conversation kind of stem around, and what does a successful NYU show look like as you head back to your home base? Sure. Genna Panagopoulos: Successful NYU would really be finding some deals, perpetuating some deals. So hopefully advancing some opportunities and it’s really all about for right now because we’re relatively new into the region. Educating our owners and the, the broader development community. So, you know, some of, some of the players do already know us, but in the luxury space, but there’s a lot of people we gotta get out in front of and introduce Minor hotels to. Ryan Embree: And this is a great place and, obviously a great city to do that in. What has been kind of the feedback? I mean, you’ve been tasked with this enormous job. We have such a great brand, worldwide, you’re bringing it here to us, Canada, and North America. What have been some of those initial conversations and hearing that and initial interest and feedback from owners? Genna Panagopoulos: Yeah, we’ve had a lot of feedback and interest on Anantara. So some of our, you know, established luxury brands that are pretty well known when you know the luxury hotel space in a global environment. Sure. So those owners have actually come to us saying, we’re really excited about the opportunities here. So that’s one piece. Of course we have NH Hotels, NH collection, and NH, which are very well known brands, especially in Mediterranean, Europe. Yeah. And, Central and South America. So there’s excitement around that too. Ryan Embree: Does it help, I mean, having such an international brand, we got the World Cup here, right? In a couple months. You kind of using that as maybe some momentum as you kind of come into, and introduce this brand into the Americas. Genna Panagopoulos: Absolutely. There’s a lot of, you know, I’m also educating Minor of the markets we wanna be in and so that’s definitely helping as well and putting some places on the map. Ryan Embree: And let’s talk about that because there’s been some announced projects already right here actually in New York. Talk about that project a little bit. Genna Panagopoulos: Yes. Thanks for asking too. We have a Worsely Hotel that’s opening, here next year. It’s gonna be super exciting because Worsely is a restaurant brand that we are taking into the hotel space. So it’s the first of its kind and nowhere better than to start in New York comes from London. So there’s a lot of correlation between the two markets. Ryan Embree: One of a kind hospitality venue and a one of a kind city, so. Exactly. But another project we’re really excited about just ’cause we’re home based, obviously in Orlando right down the road, a bright line away in Miami. Talk to us a little bit about that project and how that’s different. Yeah, Genna Panagopoulos: It’s a high rise building built in Miami. Hasn’t started construction yet, but it’ll open in 2030. It’ll be an Anantara hotel with branded residences, both private branded residences and, um, ones that will be able to be rented to hotel guests as well. Super wellness oriented. There’s gonna be a really extensive spa. Right. Very experiential. Wonderful for the residents that are gonna be buying, the residence. Ryan Embree: It’s incredible. It sounds like you guys are really taking care of all of the kind of popular travel trends right now. Right. FMB has really had this resurgence in hospitality with the project here. Wellness, obviously a huge piece of what hospitality is leaning into and what travelers are looking forward to. So having that flexibility between the brands too, I’m sure is a definitely a fun place to be when having these conversations with owners. But you talked about another project in Turks and Caicos. Genna Panagopoulos: Turks and Caicos. So we have an Anantara in Turks and Caicos that I believe will open in 2029. So in order we’ll have one in New York next year, and then 29 on Ontario trips and Caicos 2030, Miami. Ryan Embree: So no shortage of news on the Minor Hotel side. Congratulations to you and your team. Thank you. As you wrap up, I mean, what’s your vision? What’s your goal? As you bring Minor Hotels into the North American region? Genna Panagopoulos: Yeah. Well, if I think about next year at NYU, I hope people, more people are coming towards us. Excited about us being a different brand a different mindset. So we offer, we think of ourselves a little bit differently from the parent brands that are already established here because we have, you know, ownership still of most of our portfolio or we lease most of our portfolio. Um, so I hope there’s more inbound traffic coming towards my way. I hope people generally just walking down the street know us a little bit more. Certainly. You know, white Lotus helped us with Anantara, so there’s a lot of people who Oh, yes, are are diehard Anantara fans because of that. But that’s what I’m hoping for. And eventually we’d love to have an office here. So as long as we do our, our, our work, right, we, we get a strong pipeline, we’ll be able to have an office, a regional office in, in North America. Ryan Embree: Incredible. Well, super exciting. Can’t wait to catch up on all the exciting projects that you have at Minor Hotels. This is the first of a couple collaborations we’ll be doing with Minor hotels, so make sure you stay tuned. Congratulations again, Genna. And thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. Genna Panagopoulos: Thanks for having me. Ryan Embree: Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. We are live on location, New York City at NYU IHIF. I’m here with Kevin Carey, President and CEO of the AHLA Foundation and COO of AHLA. Kevin, not your first time on the Suite Spot. Appreciate you taking some time and joining me here today. Kevin Carey: It’s lways a pleasure to spend time with you. Ryan Embree: Yeah, it’s fun.Incredible event so far. NYU obviously AHLA, AHLA Foundation Forward has a huge presence here. What does, you know, when you come to the event like this, we always talk in hospitality, these events are always going to exist no matter what. Technology comes down the pike because hospitality, we’re people, right. We like connecting. What is a successful NYU IHIF look like for you and your team? Kevin Carey: Well, It’s always an important period of time in the year at, as we approach midyear to check in with our members, to have that conversation about the advocacy issues we’re leading on behalf of the industry to hear how the business performance is tracking as well. And just to build enthusiasm and engagement for the events and the initiatives that we’re leading, not only in the association, but with the foundation as well. Ryan Embree: And none more important than the No Room for Trafficking initiative that you and your team have done some fabulous work on. I mean, we have all sorts of brands up on stage, sometimes with differing opinions here and there, but one cause that everyone in our industry has really gotten behind, and it’s the work of you and your team, is this No Room for Rrafficking? We always like to spread awareness of this. Talk to us a little about, about on that front and the progress you’re seeing and making. Kevin Carey: Well, this is a longstanding commitment that the industry has to human trafficking prevention and awareness. It started in 2019 with the development of the No Room For Trafficking Initiative and its focus on training and expanded in 2022 to include the Survivor Fund. So this is an area where AHLA and the foundation specifically serves as a convening entity to bring the industry together to rally around this important issue to work, to build awareness that’ll drive prevention of human trafficking, and also to gather funds to help support survivors. So this is a commitment not only on a longstanding basis, but also on a going forward basis as well. Ryan Embree: And such inspiring stories that you’ve told over the years. And people, you know, hoteliers and other people listening to this can really get behind and encourage people to kinda look at that initiative. Another kind of initiative that you’ve done in these events that, when we’re talking about these events is forward. We had a record breaking attendance a couple months ago in the spring. Talk to us about how that is. And you actually have some of those the forward initiatives here at NYU. Kevin Carey: We do within the foundation, our mission is to advance the workforce of the industry. And we do that through a focus not only on the current workforce, those over 2 million associates and colleagues who deliver hospitality day to day, but also how do we attract the future workforce to the industry. I talked about being a convening entity. The foundation brings together the industry across all segments. And there’s two areas where we believe we can make a difference. One is around human trafficking that we just spoke about, but also around the forward initiative which is geared towards, and its purposes to advance women in the hospitality industry and in leadership roles in the hospitality industry. So we were delighted to host our most recent forward conference in Atlanta, back in April. And the results were outstanding but really the momentum and the impact that that forward is having is really, which has us so enthusiastic and committed to this initiative moving forward. Ryan Embree: Yeah, that’s gotta be so cool to see industry leaders in hospitality raise their hands and want to be a part of this movement and really see the results from that. Kevin Carey: Well, it’s grown from just being a conference, that started in 2018 and had about 150 people at the first event to now over 1100 attendees. But as it as it has expanded from a conference to a leadership development curriculum. And you mentioned the forward exchange, which took place, here in New York earlier today, where it brought together over a hundred early and mid stage career and professionals of women and some men who are participating along with their peers to focus on networking and building those relationships so they can be well suited and take on roles, over time in the industry. Ryan Embree: Really cool to see. And again, probably some incredible stories coming from that over the years as the as the initiative matures. One thing that, that hospitality in general, really looking forward to, we got big summer, right? We’re usually really excited about summer is just ’cause of the travel season, kids being outta school. But this summer in particular, we’ve been looking forward to for a couple years. We got World Cup on the horizon, finally. We played just a couple miles from here and in America 250. What are you kind of hearing from hoteliers and how are AHLA really, gearing up for these big events, showcasing our industry? Kevin Carey: Well, these are really defining opportunities, for the industry to support those guests to welcome that demand, to drive the hospitality infrastructure over time. So there’s a lot of enthusiasm around the potential that that represents and as we’ve seen on stage already today the results in the first part of the year for the industry have been positive. a number of the outlooks are increasing the Revpar and ADR and other industry metrics, here with the these large events we are still waiting to see some of the demand materialize and we’re in a critical period of time right now, about 10 days out before the games to see that hopefully what’ll be a late surge in bookings, then translate into further business success for the industry. Ryan Embree: Yeah. Hopefully, and hopefully see that international travel continue to come back to North America, you know, a lot of hoteliers, hoping for that. Zooming in a little bit on a AHLA summertime, also time for interns, right. Come in and we’ve talked about this before. I mean, internships, mentorship in hospitality. So critical. I mean, throughout the years we’ve had these staffing shortages and we’ve talked about getting creative, our industry, getting creative on ways to fill those roles, internships being one of them. Talk about a little bit about the AHLA internship program and what these interns are are ready for this summer. Kevin Carey: Well, it’s not new. We’ve had a well established program from a number of years now. And, and we’re excited annually to bring a number of interns into our team across each function. we’ll have an interns in the government affairs team, in marketing, in the foundation. it’s so refreshing to engage them in our work to see their enthusiasm about their future to see them pick up valuable skills and experience of being in an office environment, learning more. And you know what? They, they have a real impact. They have some fun along the way as well and we have a wonderful session at the end where they get to present the results of some of the work in the initiatives that they’ve been working on. So it’s an annual opportunity that we look very forward to. And they’ll be starting just in about a week’s time. so it’ll be a great another repeatevent for us. Ryan Embree: Yeah. Love to see it. You know, again, any way that we can have more exposure to all sides of hospitality. Beause as we know, it’s not just, you know, the front desk. There’s so many elements to it and there’s none more demonstrated by how big our hospitality industry is than by the hospitality show that you put on. And this year is gonna be right in our backyard. In Miami, Florida. Get us a little bit excited about what we can expect at this year’s fourth annual. This is our fourth Hospitality Show, correct? Kevin Carey: So we started in Vegas, went to San Antonio, we’re in Denver last year. A lot of enthusiasm coming out of Denver for the content. And then what’s unique about the hospitality show is it’s really the only conference in the industry with a focus on operations and how operations is driving profitability. So there’s a terrific enthusiasm and people are looking forward to being in Miami, coming together in Q4, all segments of the industry represented. So we’ll have the brands we’ll have management companies, owners, service providers, suppliers, independent hotels also play an important role in the industry. So we’re about to open registration and that’ll really kickstart, the focus on November 2-4 in Miami. Ryan Embree: Well we’re looking forward to it. We’re hoping to go 4/4 on covering the hospitality show. Especially with it being right there in our backyard. Kevin, we know you’re busy. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today on some of these important initiatives. And hopefully we’ll see you in Miami in just a few months. Kevin Carey: Hopefully I have something else on. Ryan Embree: Alright. Appreciate it. Thanks. Kevin Carey: Thank you so much. Ryan Embree: Hello everyone. Ryan Embree. here live at NYU IHIF 2026 here with Jan the National Director of Hospitality Analytics at CoStar. Jan, you were just on a panel. Thanks for taking the time to jump off and speak with us. Jan Freitag: Absolutely. Ryan Embree: State of the state, love the name obviously you’re the north star of hospitality data out there. Jan, revised forecasts just came out. Talk to us a little bit about those points that you were sharing with the audience today. Jan Freitag: So we’re suggesting that RevPAR this year is gonna grow 2.8%, which is very different from the way we looked at the world at the ALIS Hotel Investment Conference. First quarter performance was much more stronger than we had expected than the public traded companies had expected the brands or the …. And a lot of them have revised their year end forecast up. So, you know, we followed suit. Now they, most of them just revised their forecast by the outperformance of Q1. But we’re suggesting No, no, there’s momentum. So we actually took our forecast up by a lot more to 2.8%, 2% driven by ADR and 0.8 by occupancy, which is really good to see. ’cause it implies that demand is outpacing supply. You know, so we get occupancy gains and then some pricing power. Ryan Embree: Love to see that. I mean we were here a year ago with Amanda who is talking about trying to decipher through the noise, a lot of noise right now. But great to see the momentum with those revisions and so important to have those revisions because the landscape can change ever so rapidly as you know. But talking about the supply, talk to us a little bit, go into a little bit more in depth and then obviously every market is different. What markets right now are running a little bit hot on supply? Jan Freitag: Yeah, so fational forecast for Supply goes to 0.4%, not a whole lot. Right. The long run average is 1.6, so we’re well below that. The number of rooms in construction used to be between, we know, 150,000 – 160,000. It’s now 140,000. So it’s sort of staying there. It’s just so expensive to get anything done. And interest rates are still high and could go higher. Who knows, we’re not making interest rate forecast. But you know, there’s definitely no longer this idea of how we should cut, you know, interest rates twice this year or so. I think those days are gone, you know, and so now the question is, okay, so where are people getting things done? And you can look at it by markets. So a couple of them are usual suspects. So Nashville, very strong, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Phoenix. So those are markets sort of in the smile states, sort of in the Sunbelt that still get a lot of people moving there. And you know, migration determines the economic performance. And so we’re seeing a lot more room supply growth there, but there’re just a lot of markets where it’s very, very hard to get anything done because of that higher cost of construction and of the higher interest rate. So I would single out those markets, but overall the picture is rather muted. On the supply side. So what that means then, for existing owners is the time to renovate is right now percent. Because you want to be the new kid on the block with the new hotel, there’s not a lot of new competition coming. This is time to renovate and really put your best foot forward. Ryan Embree: A hundred percent. And you know, one of the other topics we talked about, or you talked about rather on stage was segments right now luxury, doing very, very well leading the way. Obviously a lot of bifurcation, that K-shaped economy. What are you seeing across the segments right now? Jan Freitag: Yeah, I mean there are no wrong answers in luxury, right? I mean, luxury last year was the winner. This year is the winner. We’re projecting, very healthy RevPAR growth double of what we’re saying for the nation. We think the luxury class can materialize. And then what’s really nice to see is that for upscale upper midscale midscale, there’s also RevPAR growth there, which we hadn’t seen last year. And to me that speaks to the strength really of the American economy. But it sort of permeates toward all income classes. Now the exception is was and unfortunately will be likely the economy sector now even there we’re suggesting RevPAR’s growing, but it’s just, you know, 0.8% call that flat for all intent and purposes. Ryan Embree: International travel too, obviously World Cup on the heels of this. What are you see any interesting data points there you wanna share just right ahead of the America 250 and World Cup? Jan Freitag: There are two very different vibes coming from the panel that I was on. Adam Sacks prior to US presenting was talking about, oh wow, international inbound is really still quite a bit lower than it was in 2019. But the gentleman from the NTTO, the National Travel Tourism Organization was like, no, we’re projecting rock and roll, really strong growth of international inbound. The truth is probably gonna somewhere in the tween this year. World Cup is gonna drive a lot of international travelers. What I’m wondering about though is are some of those travelers basically stealing from 2025 and from 2027 and now they’re saying, oh, let’s not go in 25, let’s go in 26. And then when next year comes around, they’re like, we just went to the us you know, and not go in 27 either. So I just hope that the more positive spin from the government comes true and this and, and not that we’re just sort of packing everything into this year and then international inbound is gonna deteriorate. Ryan Embree: So many interesting data points. Anyone in particular you have your eyes on where, you know, obviously we love a nice rosy outlook and try to look for opportunities through all of the data that’s out there, but anyone’s that are like unexpected data points or something that you’re at least keeping an eye on right now? Jan Freitag: Yeah, so there are a couple, but the one that I’m really focused on is consumer price index. Everything is getting more expensive and so that means that hotels will see their cost increase. And the big question then is how much of that cost increase can they pass on to the customer? And I just told you that our ADR forecast for this year is 2% and inflation is gonna be what, 3.5 or something? I mean, it’s gonna be much more than that outpacing that. So that’s really the crux and I think that’s what we here at NYU, to talk to owners and investors and management companies have figure out, okay, so how can we keep our margins expanding even maybe how do you do that in this environment where top line growth may be not keeping pace with with inflation. So the CPI number is really something I’m keeping an eye on. Ryan Embree: Yeah, pretty challenging time right now. when it comes to margins and hospitality that we, again, trying to suss out and figure out here, what are those maybe opportunistic data points that you’re seeing that you’re saying this, this is really good, maybe unexpected on the other end of the spectrum? Jan Freitag: Yeah, I think the Americans are wealthier than they ever have been. And Adam Sachs has this fascinating data point where he shows at the emerge that the middle class in America is shrinking, but part of it is because a lot more people are rich. So people are moving up the income chain and that allows ’em then to spend more money on experiences, very clear that people favor experiences over goods. And we are right in that Suite Spot. Ryan Embree: That continues to be the experience over stuff. We love to see that. And then you’re kind of here celebrating an anniversary/birthday of your podcast, is it? You know you’re, you’re usually, typically used to be in the host, not so much the guests, so thank you. Tell us a little bit more and maybe where our hotel audience can find the insights that you provide. Jan Freitag: Yeah, and thank you for having me. So we have our own podcast. My colleague Isaac Collazo from STR and myself get together once a month. It’s called Tell Me More, A Hospitality Data podcast. And three years ago at juniors across the street over cheesecake, we sort of hatched the idea. And so now we’re, I don’t know, like, you know, almost 30 episodes into it. And we get together once a month and we just sort of riff on the data and hopefully you can join us. Ryan Embree: I love it. That’s awesome. Well, Jan, thank you so much. Very busy time. Appreciate you stopping by and talking to us. Jan Freitag: My pleasure. Thank you so much. Ryan Embree: Alright. Hello everyone. Ryan Embree here with the Suite Spot. We are live at NYU IHIF 2026 here with Larry Cuculic, President and CEO of BWH Hotels. Larry, thank you so much for taking time outta your busy schedule to join us here on the Suite Spot. Larry Cuculic: It’s my absolute pleasure. Thank you for the invitation and for allowing me to share some thoughts with regard to the success and BWH hotels. Ryan Embree: Yeah. We’ve got a lot to cover cause you’ve got a lot going on right now. But let’s start with this event, right? NYU IHIF, lot of major brands here what does a successful NYU look like for you and your team? Larry Cuculic: To us, a successful NYU is interacting with developers and investors such that they’re aware of what BWH has become. We’re now 18 brands, over 4,000 hotels in over a hundred countries and territories from premium economy up to luxury hotels. We acquired world hotels about six years ago. And so it really is continuing to educate about the possibilities of their associating with BWH hotels because we would be singularly focused on their success if they partner with us. And you’re also in a powerhouse panel tomorrow, the Executive Exchange Hospitality Performance Strategies for Success give our audience a little bit a sneak peek of what you’re gonna be talking about on stage. Larry Cuculic: Well, we’re gonna be talking about of course, the economy near term as well as long term projections for what that looks like. we’ll be talking about the importance of loyalty programs. We’ll be talking about the impact of really the economy and things like labor insurance and how we as brands need to focus on the success of our hotels by offering them programs to really offset that impact on net RevPAR. Ryan Embree: And I’m sure one of the subjects and topics that we brought up on your panel, certainly something we talk about these hospitality events is, AI and technology. And we had the privilege of having SVP and your CTO Bill Ryan on at the Hospitality Show a couple months in October, gave us a little bit of lay of the land when it came to AI and technology. How do you feel personally that this technology is really changing the way that travelers choose hotels, but also how they have their hotel experience, their guest experience? Larry Cuculic: Sure. So the first thing we’re doing is we’re reinvesting in our .com as well as our app. And we want them to be easy to use intuitive, but we also wanna make sure they have content that convinces guests when they’re shopping that our hotels will provide them kind of that customization and personalization. ’cause it’s not about a commodity, a hotel room, it’s about all those things that we can offer. By way of example we’re partnering with an AI agency to kind of harvest content with regard to where our hotels are located in those communities. At the same time, we’ll take that harvested content and we’ll filter it through our hoteliers who live in those communities and create the content that will be the AI answer when somebody’s looking for a place to stay. And they’ll know that we want them to have the best possible time while we’re in that community, not just staying with us as a hotel, that we recognize that people don’t want just to stay, they want really a journey. Ryan Embree: Yeah. Something that we aspire in hospitality to provide that not just a hotel stay, but an experience. And we talked to Joelle Park about the power of storytelling and how that can play a component in one of the best stories, obviously that you just had a really exciting announcement with is America 250 and the story of this great nation. So talk to us a little bit about that partnership and what BWH Hotels is doing with America 250. Larry Cuculic: Well, we are a sponsor of America 250, and we’re encouraging our hoteliers to embrace the 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation. And part of that is not just USA 250, we also have the 100th anniversary of Route 66. We have hotels that have been with us, believe it or not, we have a hotel that’s been with us 75 years. And it speaks to the heritage of our brand. So we’ll be leaning into the history of this great country. At the same time we’ll be leaning into the history of our great brand and encouraging people to travel and see the United States and all that it has to offer no matter where you go. And the beauty of our hotels we have 2200 of them in North America and wherever they’re going to go, we want them to know that we have a hotel that will meet their travel leads such that they can experience really the 250th anniversary of USA. Ryan Embree: Yeah. It’s a really exciting partnership right in at an inflection point with the World Cup as well. So introducing maybe some international travel also to the brand and the nation. You know, you’re a great following on LinkedIn. I encourage our audience, if you haven’t, make sure you follow Larry, but one of the things you’re reflecting on your North American regional conferences that you’ve done up to this point in 2026 and you quoted to say that you want BWH hotels to become the most welcoming brand in the world. What does that mean to you and how is your team working to achieve that? Larry Cuculic: Well, welcoming means that we’re gracious hosts, but it also means that we’re, I’ll call it easy to do business with understanding, being flexible and recognizing that we are somebody you’d want to be partners with. Whenever anyone walks into a hotel we should tell them, you know, welcome, we’re glad you’re here by way of example. But I used to think of it that way in terms of being gracious host and everything that happens at the hotel, but when I think of welcoming, I also want to think about our new.com and app. Again, it’s that ease of use and personalization so that when you go there, we know it’s you and we want to help you make good decisions with regard to travel. So welcoming is about ease of.com, the app we’re redoing our loyalty program. I think Joel probably talked to you about that. And we want the loyalty program to be welcoming as well. Well, what does that mean? Well, that means that when you interact with us, you’ll know how many points you have. You’ll know they never expire. You’ll know that you can use them to buy down the price of a room at any point. That you don’t have to, to have as many points for a full stay to leverage those points. It’s a value of the program. And of course welcoming. I always lean into the importance of being not just a gracious host, but somebody that appreciates our guests. To me, that’s welcoming because you have to recognize that people, they’re traveling with their families, it’s something that you wanna leave a terrific impression on them and their family. And you also want them to know that we appreciate that they’ve spent their hard-earned money staying with us. To me, that’s being appreciative gracious hosts. And that’s part of the welcoming. It’s not, the welcoming doesn’t just happen when they enter. Welcoming has to be entire stay. Ryan Embree: So key. And the brands that kind of make that connection with their travelers, especially in a time where, I mean, we just talked about in this interview AI technology, there’s way more places become disconnected, to find that connection, that human to human connection. Very important right now. So as we wrap up the interview, obviously at these events we’re always, whether it’s the hospitality data we’re looking into, whether it’s a conversation, we’re always trying to take a glimpse into the future, trying to predict that future. Larry what do you see, what’s your vision for the future of BWH Hotels. Larry Cuculic: People will always wanna travel. And for us, if we can become that welcoming brand that appreciates our guests, we will build that loyalty. When we build that loyalty, that program will grow. Our revenue delivery brand direct will grow which is the lowest cost for us in terms of that reservation for our hoteliers but what I think I would also offer to you is we’re also very focused on thoughtful growth. And what that means is if you grow your loyalty program, you also wanna make sure you have hotels that are in locations where guests want to go. Be it London, be it Rome, be it Frankfurt, be it Bangkok, no matter where it is around the world. And so, you know, we have a, a focus goal of 5,000 hotels, which means we will grow thoughtfully, but with our guests in mind. And because when we have a hotel join us, our sole focus is the success of that hotel as well as having a quality hotel where guests want to go. Ryan Embree: That’s awesome. Well, we wish you nothing but success. Hopefully maybe can join the Suite Spot when that 5,000 hotel opens and we can celebrate that together. But in the meantime, thank you, Larry, for taking the time out of your day to join us here on the Suite spot. Larry Cuculic: Well, thank you. Thank you for the opportunity. Very much appreciate it.

Wehrle, Claudia www.deutschlandfunk.de, Das war der Tag

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! As promised, we've returned after a week with more banter and plenty of watch talk. This time around, we discuss the oft-mentioned summer watch and how we feel about it in 2026. Of course, we cover plenty of other subjects. Enjoy the show!Ah, the summer watch. If given little thought, it's easy to call it a diver and walk away, but we find that definition limiting. We eventually come to the topic but hit upon more than a handful of other watches. Settle in for a lengthy chat while you're prepping the pool or the back terrace for the season to come.HandgelenkskontrolleWe begin our show discussing recent performances that we've attended. Mike returned from Beetlejuice The Musical, a fun romp that just opened in London. Balazs, on the other hand, saw Slowhand, aka Eric Clapton, in concert. Then, there's the long-awaited opening of Terminal 3 at your hosts' favorite airport, Frankfurt.Mike shares a tip about pre-ordering duty-free there and the availability of a desirable bourbon. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing one of his favorites, the Ming 17.09 on a Ming rubber strap. Mike is back into vintage with his Heuer Carrera 2447 S, a watch that recently accompanied him to Soccer Aid 2026.The intermezzo — new releasesBefore attacking our main topic, the summer watch, we discuss a bevy of new pieces that could qualify as timepieces of the season. First, there's the Tudor Black Bay Chrono 39 "Bumble Bee," which heralds a new case size from the popular brand. Both of us like it and are excited to see which colors may come next. The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Fifty is a beautiful, albeit luxurious, release that nails its brief as a true contender to other pieces in its competitive set. For Mike, this watch enters the horse race against his longtime crush, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF 36. Balazs mentions the surprising new Timex Atelier collection. It consists of four modern watches, some of which have Sellita automatic movements. More to come! Finally, Mike segues to our main topic with the Norqain Wild One Skeleton X-Lite, a watch that feels like nothing is on the wrist, an important criterion in the heat.The summer watchBalazs leads off our discussion of the summer watch and makes it clear that it's not only about dive watches. We mention some key attributes that help define a piece that works in the heat, by the pool, or just in general. Brightly colored dials work well during this sunny period, but so do audacious designs, including skeletonized pieces. However, we're both quick to agree that a skeletonized piece needs to be executed well, or it looks cheap. No one wants that by the Riviera!If a brightly colored dial isn't your cup of tea, why not try a vividly hued strap instead? Loads of options can help a watch dress down during the warmer season. Of course, lightweight materials are very on-trend and feel great when the mercury rises. Titanium is incredibly common now, and carbon has become a go-to medium for many companies in different price ranges. Most of all, though, we think it's best to choose something enjoyable for the summer that's worry-free and satisfying.We hope you enjoy today's episode and look forward to your comments. Let us know what you'll be sporting this summer, whether at the office or by the sea.

  Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast ahead of the PDC World Cup of Darts.   The boys kick off the show with a look ahead to this week in Frankfurt and discuss the chances of the pre-tournament favourites England, and whether the all-star team of Luke Littler and Luke Humphries can bring darts home this summer.   Nick Kenny (7:49) joins the show ahead of making his PDC World Cup of Darts debut. The Welsh no. 3 chats about his unexpected call-up to the team after Gerwyn Price made himself unavailable for selection, his memories of representing Wales in the BDO/WDF system, beating Stowe Buntz and Raymond van Barneveld at Ally Pally two years ago to keep his PDC tour card, and the now infamous bounce out Tom Bissell had against him recently on the ProTour.   The boys continue their World Cup preview by discussing who are the leading contenders to follow in Northern Ireland's footsteps from last year and be the next country to join the roll of honour.   Adam Sevada and Stowe Buntz (37:15) join Burton DeWitt to look ahead to making their PDC World Cup of Darts debuts together for the USA this week. Adam reflects on a breakthrough 2025 campaign which saw him top the CDC rankings with five titles and enjoy a winning debut in the PDC World Darts Championship. Stowe talks about making Ally Pally for a third year in a row, what it's been like playing on the CDC tour with his teenage son Stowe Buntz Jnr, and what it means to be representing the USA in the World Cup.   Alex and Burton finish up their World Cup preview by delving into the group stage draw and pick out their 'group of death' and which unseeded nations could make it through to the knockouts.   Adam Leek (1:02:23) calls in ahead of making his PDC World Cup of Darts debut for Australia. The new PDC tour card holder reflects on a whirlwind last six months, winning his tour card in his first ever Q-School, the life-changing move from Adelaide to Milton Keynes to pursue his dream of being a professional dart player, signing up with the darts manufacturer Unicorn, and what life has been like so far living in the UK.   Join the Darts Strava King group on Strava *** Get your own Alex Moss replica shirt (as worn by our co-host at the Las Vegas Open 2026) from DJD here!

Send us Fan Mail✈️ Lufthansa baut Allegris weiter aus: Mehr Boeing 787 in Frankfurt, neue Strecken nach Dallas, Nairobi & Mumbai und inzwischen über 20 Flugzeuge mit neuer Kabine im Einsatz. Doch trotz neuer First & Business Class bleibt die große Frage: Warum geht der Retrofit der Bestandsflotte so langsam voran?Wir schauen auf den aktuellen Stand der Lufthansa Allegris First Class, Business Class und Premium Economy – inklusive neuer Strecken, Flottenentwicklung, Dreamliner-News und den nächsten Ausbauplänen für 2026.

In the thrilling finale of our Merkers Mine series, we confront the uncomfortable arithmetic of the Third Reich's stolen wealth. While the Allies recovered an astonishing 250 tons of gold at Merkers, hundreds of millions of dollars in looted Nazi gold remain completely unaccounted for to this day. Could a portion of this missing fortune have ended up deep inside a desert mountain in southern New Mexico?. To answer this, we explore the highly secretive post-war world of Operation Paperclip, which brought former Nazi rocket scientists and hundreds of train cars filled with V2 rocket components from the exact same German region as the Merkers mine directly to the White Sands Missile Range.This massive, chaotic logistical operation may have provided the perfect Trojan horse to smuggle stolen wealth into the United States. We delve into the tantalizing, controversial theory that diverted Nazi bullion was shipped alongside the rocket parts, meticulously concealed in crates falsely labeled as Volkswagen engines that were calibrated to match the exact weight of a real engine. The destination for these mysterious crates was White Sands—the home of Victorio Peak, a mountain already famous for a legendary Spanish gold discovery made by Doc Noss years earlier.The historical anomalies surrounding this peak are impossible to ignore. When two airmen secretly entered Victorio Peak in 1958, they didn't describe finding crude, centuries-old Spanish colonial ingots; they reported seeing modern, smelted, brick-shaped gold bullion stacked in orderly, military-style pyramids. Tying this massive web together is a chilling final revelation: Leland Howard, the powerful U.S. Treasury official sent to Frankfurt to oversee the captured Merkers gold in 1945, is the exact same man who later orchestrated the military's top-secret excavations and the suppression of the Noss family claims at Victorio Peak. The prelude is now complete. Join us as we close the book on the Merkers Mine and prepare to step fully into the enduring mystery of the Noss Gold.

Walter Sterling reacts to the shocking Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner nose gear collapse in Frankfurt, raising new questions about Boeing safety, aircraft maintenance, and what could have happened if the plane had taken off for Los Angeles. Walter also speaks with Ross Coulthart about possible new UFO file releases, the Phobos 2 mystery, claims of a Soviet spacecraft being intercepted near Mars, non-human intelligence, David Grusch, and what the Pentagon may still be hiding. Plus, Robert Clotworthy from Ancient Aliens joins to discuss the latest UFO disclosures, ancient alien theories, the 1952 Washington sightings, moon dust, Sumerian symbols, and why the public may finally be closing in on answers the government has avoided for decades.

Moon is finally back from Europe... barely.After rocking massive Goldfinger shows in England, Moon thought he was headed home with some great vacation stories. Instead, he found himself trapped in a German airport nightmare involving missed connections, endless lines, angry travelers, confused airline employees, and enough frustration to test the patience of a saint. If you've ever been stranded while traveling, you'll feel every second of this story.Of course, this being The Rizzuto Show, we can't simply discuss international travel like normal adults.Before Moon can even finish explaining how he got stuck in Frankfurt, the conversation somehow derails into an in-depth investigation of nose hair trimming technology. Which trimmer works best? Which one is lying to you? Can any of them actually reach the mysterious "front cave" region of your nostrils? Important questions are asked. Very few are answered.Moon also shares stories from London, Paris, the European heat wave, questionable airport experiences, and the realization that saving money on flights sometimes costs your sanity. Along the way, the gang debates the worst possible movies to watch while flying on a German airline, and somehow turns Saving Private Ryan into an accidental international incident.Meanwhile, back in St. Louis, the crew talks about the vandalism at Steve's Hot Dogs and why supporting local businesses matters when they're already battling construction, rising costs, and random acts of destruction. The conversation then drifts into National Hot Dog Day planning because apparently that's how professional broadcasters handle serious topics.And just when you think things couldn't get any weirder...A Maryland Heights Hooters becomes the setting for one of the most bizarre crime stories imaginable. Let's just say one customer took "dining in" a little too literally. The crew breaks down the unbelievable details and wonders how someone ends up making that series of life decisions.Also in this episode:Moon's European vacation recapThe great nose hair trimmer debateGerman airport survival tacticsTravel horror storiesSt. Louis hot dog newsGas price hunting strategiesForest Park getting national recognitionStrange airline movie choicesHooters headlines nobody asked forThe usual daily chaos from Rizz and the gangIf you enjoy sarcastic humor, ridiculous travel disasters, bizarre news stories, and a group of friends getting distracted every five seconds, this episode delivers exactly what you'd expect from your favorite daily comedy show.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day.

That's right. After years of dreaming about flying with the legendary flight team, filling out paperwork, getting medical forms completed, and generally doing everything he was supposed to do (allegedly), the Navy said, "Nah." The crew spends way too much time trying to figure out who got the spot instead, throwing out names ranging from Cardinals legends to local celebrities and basically anybody who isn't Moon.Then things somehow get even weirder.The gang debates one of the most ridiculous music questions ever created: if you could only listen to one genre for an entire year, would you choose mumble rap, post-9/11 patriotic country, Christian death metal, or AI-generated EDM? The answers reveal way more about everyone's personalities than anyone intended, and somehow Christian death metal becomes the surprise hero of the conversation.In Crap On Celebrities, the celebrity chaos is firing on all cylinders. Diddy drama takes another bizarre turn, Sabrina Carpenter gets a restraining order against an alleged stalker who apparently thought hiding in a Prius was a good plan, Taylor Swift fans once again convince themselves they're decoding secret messages from the universe, and The Black Crowes find themselves at the center of a USA chant controversy.The crew also dives into the latest music news, including Mick Jagger somehow still having more energy than people half his age, a Gene Wilder biopic that already has everyone fan-casting, and the ongoing debate about whether Val Kilmer was a misunderstood genius or simply impossible to work with.Then comes the emotional destruction.A list of the most heartbreaking animal moments in movie history sends everyone spiraling. From Artax sinking into the Swamp of Sadness in The NeverEnding Story, to Mufasa's death in The Lion King, to Homeward Bound, Fox and the Hound, I Am Legend, and more childhood trauma than any morning radio show should legally be allowed to revisit before noon. If you've ever cried because of a fictional animal, prepare to relive every painful second.It's another completely normal day with The Rizzuto Show, which means absolutely nothing is normal.The gang welcomes Ashley Vogt and NHL veteran Jamie Rivers into the studio to celebrate two massive life events: a surprise Nashville engagement and the launch of Synergy Integrated Healthcare. But before anyone can get sentimental, the show immediately derails into a debate about throwing apple cores out of moving vehicles and whether that technically makes you a criminal. Spoiler alert: Missouri law apparently has thoughts.Meanwhile, Moon relives the heartbreak of being passed over for a coveted Blue Angels flight after thinking he was officially cleared for takeoff. The crew spends an alarming amount of time trying to figure out who could possibly be worthy of stealing his seat. Steve Ewing? John Goodman? Wayne Gretzky? Andy Cohen? The investigation continues.As if that wasn't enough, the crew checks in on the internet-famous guy attempting to live in a room for an entire year while livestreaming the experience. He's lost weight, picked up hobbies, and somehow still has fewer viewers than some houseplants on social media. The discussion quickly turns into a philosophical debate about personal sacrifice, family life, and whether staying locked in a room sounds like punishment or a vacation.Then comes Alpha-Gal Syndrome, the tick-borne condition that could potentially rob meat lovers of everything they hold dear. Lern takes a suspicious amount of joy in imagining a future where Riz can't eat meatballs in Europe, while the rest of the room tries desperately not to anger the tick gods.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Serial exposer charged for indecent act at Maryland Heights HootersForest Park Named Best City Park in the USA…Again!Outdoor balloon releases illegal in Louisiana starting in AugustSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
