The Guests That Arn't Your Guest – Showing hospitality to everyone you encounter by Cat & Cloud

Teams from two Oregon high schools will soon put their hospitality and culinary skills to the test at the National ProStart Invitational. At the statewide competition last month, Crook County High School took the top prize in the culinary competition, while the Salem-Keizer Career Technical Education Center won the restaurant management category. Both teams will compete against schools from across the country at the national invitational in Baltimore next month.  Riley McCartney is a member of the restaurant management competition team at Salem-Keizer CTEC. Tayah Hagensee mentored the culinary team at Crook County High School after competing for two years. She was also named this year’s Oregon ProStart Student of the Year. They join us with more details about what it’s like to pitch a restaurant or cook a three-course meal in front of a panel of judges.

On today's episode of Good Morning Hospitality, Wil Slickers, Michael Goldin, and Brandreth Canaley break down three of the biggest headlines in travel and hospitality this week. Vacasa's special committee officially rejected Davidson Kempner Capital Management's improved acquisition bid of $5.75 per share, calling it “not reasonably likely” to result in a superior proposal compared to the current Casago-led offer. With the shareholder vote looming, this move may bring an end to the takeover drama. Expedia Group is also making waves with a renewed focus on its B2B travel tech strategy. In a recent Q&A on Skift, company leadership highlighted their efforts to simplify the messaging around their B2B offerings and strengthen relationships with partners like banks, loyalty programs, and large-scale travel distributors. And over at Airbnb, the platform is doubling down on its policies around off-platform bookings and fee transparency. A new policy update reinforces that all required fees must be disclosed at the time of booking and that moving guests off the platform is a serious violation. From M&A tension to evolving tech strategies and policy updates, this episode dives into the forces shaping the guest and operator experience in 2025. ---- Good Morning Hospitality is part of the Hospitality.FM Multi-Media Network and is a Hospitality.FM Original The hospitality industry is constantly growing, changing, and innovating!

Zita Cobb's story isn't just worth hearing—it's worth hugging.  In this episode of Chatter That Matters, you'll meet a woman who helped to transform Fogo Island, one of the most remote and rugged places in Canada, into a beacon that attracts the world. Zita's perspective on hospitality, community, and the miracles of reimagining a place will change how you view tourism, shifting from merely visiting to truly experiencing Mother Nature and Human Nature. Zita speaks with wisdom carved from the rocks of a small fishing village in Newfoundland and Labrador, where everything her family knew was taken away, forcing them to leave.  Many years later, Zita returns to collaborate with the community to create Fogo Island Inn and within it a vibrant circular economy. I then close the show by sharing my thoughts on why the world needs more Canada and how Canada must build a stronger tourism sector. Thank you to RBC for making Chatter That Matters, and our weekly show about positivity and possibility, possible.

“ Our hospitality starts with education, but it's also having a welcoming point of view.”Scott Young, Founder of SSWING, an innovative indoor golf training facility in New York City, and an expert golfer joins the podcast today to hash out the meaning of hospitality and dive into his business. They discuss the broader meaning of hospitality in various environments, focusing on creating a welcoming yet challenging space to help people improve. The conversation dives into Scott's analytical approach to golf using math and biomechanics, balancing customer comfort with pushing them to new limits. Scott shares insights from his touring days and stories about the honesty and pressure in golf. The episode highlights the importance of process-oriented improvement and maintaining a clear mental focus.Takeaways: Whether it's golf or any other aspect of life, embrace a mindset of continuous improvement and commit to bettering yourself.Aim to have a consistent and clear process for achieving your goals. In golf, this means focusing on your pre-shot routine and execution rather than being overly concerned with the outcome.Utilize technology such as biomechanics assessments, high-speed cameras, and other tools to get precise feedback and improve your performance.Develop mental resilience by practicing staying focused and present in high-pressure situations. This can be beneficial in sports and various other stressful scenarios in life.If appropriate for your business, consider a membership model to build a committed community and create a steady revenue stream.After any performance or practice, reflect honestly on your process and identify areas where you either succeeded or could improve.Use personal stories and experiences, whether from a professional athlete or your own life, to gain insights and inspire your growth journey.Quote of the Show:“  My essence of SSWING is that every single person who walks through our door leaves a better golfer or a better mover.” - Scott YoungLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-young-28b5569/ Website: https://www.sswing.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pivot-the-path/id1713829364 Shout Outs:3:28 - Rosemary Young https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosemary-k-young-92b4821/ 4:54 - Shinnecock Hills Golf Club https://www.shinnecockhillsgolfclub.org/ 4:55 - Augusta National https://www.masters.com/index.html/ 12:04 - New York University https://www.nyu.edu/ 14:17 - David Kennedy https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kennedy-03821b3/ 16:46 - British Airways https://www.britishairways.com/travel/classic-home/public/en_us/ 16:56 - JFK Airport https://www.jfkairport.com/ 22:15 - PGA https://www.pgatour.com/ 23:46 - Callaway https://www.callawaygolf.com/ 34:43 - Australian Open https://ausopen.com/ 38:09 - Rory McIlroy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_McIlroy 38:36 - Tiger Woods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Woods 39:30 - Jack Nicklaus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Nicklaus 42:53 - Max Verstappen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Verstappen 42:54: Roger Federer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Federer 47:42 - US Open https://www.usopen.com/ 

Born in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa, Jacu Strauss' early years were marked by his imagination—crafting dollhouses from wine boxes and drawing urban streetscapes in the dirt. With limited access to TV or the internet, he turned to encyclopedias and magazines to fuel an inner world that laid the foundation for his future.At 18, he left for London on what was meant to be a brief gap year. It quickly turned into a journey through banking, architecture studies in New Zealand, and ultimately, back to the UK. His career took a turn when he joined Tom Dixon, where he helped dream up the transformative Sea Containers hotel.That philosophy continues to anchor his work as creative director at Lore Group, where he oversees a diverse portfolio of hotels. From the charming Pulitzer Amsterdam to the intimate sophistication of the Lyle in Washington, DC, Strauss designs with both whimsy and purpose—always seeking to humanize spaces through material, form, and story.This podcast is sponsored by StyleNations.

To burner phone or not to burner phone? The current debate on social media amid heightened searches of personal electronic devices by US immigration officers. Combined with new requirements for Canadians travelling to the US, such as mandatory registration with the American government for a 30+ day stay, as well as frightening headlines of travelers being detained at the border - Canadians are rightfully turned off from the US. But for those who don't have the choice to opt out of travel, what can they expect, and are they safe? Host Maria Kestane speaks to Frédéric Dimanche, Director and Professor of the Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism, about what the current climate of Canada-US travel safety looks like, and what Canadians should expect when - or *if* - they head south.We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

What if the 2028 Olympics didn't just bring medals, but a housing revolution? In this episode of Future of Work, Dr. Salvatrice Cummo sits down with Kurt Peterson, Co-President of Unite Here Local 11, to explore the mounting pressures facing hospitality workers in Los Angeles, and the explosive opportunity that the 2028 Olympics might represent. Peterson doesn't mince words. From natural disasters like wildfires to economic disruptions like COVID-19, hospitality workers have repeatedly borne the brunt of crisis after crisis. And while tourism is rebounding, the industry's recovery has largely left workers behind. Peterson argues that the real crisis now isn't just wages, it's housing. As the world turns its eyes toward LA in 2028, Peterson makes one thing clear: if the Olympics can afford luxury, it can and must afford dignity, equity, and a place for workers to call home. You'll learn:  What mega-events like the Olympics could mean for Labor Rights. How employers use crises to cut labor and what unions are doing about it. How housing became the central fight for LA workers. Why the decommissioned Santa Monica Airport could be LA's housing lifeline. Learn why Unite Here Local 11 is prepared to stage an unprecedented strike during the 2028 Olympics.   About the Guest: Kurt Petersen is Co-President of UNITE HERE Local 11, representing over 35,000 hotel and food service workers across Southern California and Arizona. A Notre Dame alum with studies in theology and philosophy, Kurt nearly joined the Jesuits before earning his law degree from Yale and organizing with the United Farm Workers, where he helped secure Washington State's first farm worker union contract. Since 1995, he has led efforts that brought over 25,000 workers into UNITE HERE and helped transform Local 11 into a major political and labor force. He's currently leading the largest hotel strike in U.S. history, with over 10,000 workers striking 175 times at 54 hotels. The resulting contracts include historic wage increases and are set to expire just before the 2028 LA Olympics. Kurt was recently named to the Los Angeles Times 2024 LA Influential list alongside Co-Presidents Ada Briceño and Susan Minato.

Sarah Nan DuPre and Leo Walton return after co-hosting the Short Stay Summit to unpack takeaways from the conference, including the energy of a one-day show, the value of hyperlocal hospitality, and the shift toward tech-enabled guest experiences. They also explore Airbnb's new loyalty program via HotelTonight and debate whether it adds value or dilutes brand identity. Plus, they break down how Google's tour and activity push could disrupt OTAs, and why alternative revenue streams—like upselling experiences—might help operators offset tightening margins. ---- Good Morning Hospitality is part of the Hospitality.FM Multi-Media Network and is a Hospitality.FM Original The hospitality industry is constantly growing, changing, and innovating!

From hotel investing to vending machines—this is what real wealth stacking looks like.

Hospitality isn't just about opening our homes, it's about opening our hearts. It's a spiritual practice that reflects the gospel by welcoming and pursuing the stranger. God calls us to see and move toward those who are different. Just as we were once strangers and God welcomed us, we are now invited to extend that same love to others.
