In this episode, we're diving deep into IHG One Rewards—a hotel program that often flies under the radar but has serious potential. From practical Holiday Inns to luxury Kimptons and InterContinentals, we're sharing our experiences using IHG points and free-night awards, how we earn them, and why buying IHG points (yes, buying!) can actually be a smart move. What Even Is IHG? Before diving into points and miles, most of us didn't even know IHG was the brand behind properties like Holiday Inn, Candlewood Suites, Kimpton, Hotel Indigo, and InterContinental. Jess shares how she earned free IHG stays back in the day by mailing in 90 index cards, and Pam tells how she thought Crowne Plazas were the height of luxury before she knew the full IHG lineup. IHG Credit Cards: What to Know Alex breaks down the three different IHG credit card options and how their benefits stack up so you can decide which one might work best for you.  She also outlines two of the unique benefits that make two of these cards a great deal: getting a fourth night free on award stays and earning free-night certificates you can top up. Buying IHG Points Can Actually Make Sense Pam shares why she regularly buys IHG points—especially during 100% bonus sales—for heavily discounted stays at high-end IHG properties. She calls it a “no-brainer,” and Jess agrees—IHG is one of the only programs where buying points often makes sense. Where We've Used IHG Points and Awards From a Kimpton in Barcelona, to airport Holiday Inns, to a Crowne Plaza in Bruges, we share how we've stretched our points and free-night certificates. Jess highlights how easy it is to top off a 40k free-night certificate online, and Alex reminds everyone about the best ways to book longer stays for couples. We also discuss: IHG status levels Using certificates online (a breeze!)

Today on the Invest In Her Podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Jane Ubell-Meyer, a former TV and film producer turned entrepreneur and founder of Bedside Reading. With an impressive career producing for major networks like GMA, Entertainment Tonight, and WSJ-TV, as well as films like Leona Helmsley: The Queen of Mean, Jane transitioned her creative talents into the hospitality space. Eight years ago, she launched Bedside Reading—a literary amenity placing books in luxury hotels such as the Waldorf Astoria, Fairmont, Conrad, Taj, and Kimpton. The program has since expanded to include audiobooks, eBooks, meditations, author podcasts, and magazines. Jane is also the author of the Amazon #1 Bestseller From Wanting to Having It: A Guide to Manifesting Anything, and is set to debut the Bedside Reading Audiobook Collection on April 8th. In this vibrant conversation, Catherine and Jane dive into the evolution of Bedside Reading and how Jane carved a unique niche at the intersection of publishing, wellness, and luxury hospitality. Jane shares her journey from Hollywood to entrepreneurship, how she curates content that enhances hotel guest experiences, and her passion for helping authors get discovered in innovative ways. The episode also touches on the powerful manifestation practices that inspired her book and how she's using those same principles to expand her brand even further. Entrepreneurs, authors, and wellness seekers alike will find plenty of inspiration and practical advice in this engaging episode. —----------------- Note from Jane Ubell-Meyer:  For every membership purchased, we will donate a membership to a charity for the blind to help their people! WHY am I doing this? My dad's best friend, Roger, experienced two separate incidents where the retina of his eye(s) detached. He went 100% blind in his 70's.  The Lighthouse Guild in NYC helped him cope with life after this tragedy. My dad took him there every single day. I was always amazed at how he helped so many people—I thought audiobooks were an excellent gift for these people. Rick and I are reaching out to charities for the blind across the USA to offer a free membership for every membership purchased. PS...Roger ended up leaving millions to that charity. https://www.bedsidereadingaudiobooks.com/ For $5 off, use code: ANGELS https://www.showherthemoneymovie.com https://svwomenfoundersfund.vc www.sheangelinvestors.com    Follow Us On Social Facebook @sheangelinvestors Twitter (X) @sheangelsinvest Instagram @sheangelinvestors & @catherinegray_investinher LinkedIn @catherinelgray & @sheangels

On this episode, we are joined by Jessica Williams. Jessica is the author of the award-winning Dachshund educational blog, YouDidWhatWithYourWeiner.com. She's been traveling, hiking, and camping with her dogs for over 20 years. She's taken her dogs on many extended road trips, covering up to 5,000 miles, and she's flown with them many times. Her two biggest dog-focused travel aspirations are living in Switzerland for a month to hike in the Alps and spending a year road-tripping around the US with her dogs to hike and camp. You can follow Jessica on Instagram @youdidwhatwithyourweiner, Facebook, or YouTube. Episode Highlights: Most airlines have pet policies that you should review before booking To travel in the cabin, the pet needs to fit in a carrier that goes under the seat The weight limit is generally 20-25 lbs (although Spirit is higher) You need to call the airline in advance to let them know you are bringing a dog on board as there is a limit to how many can go onboard You don't need to pay for a ticket but you do need to pay a pet fee (typically around $150 each way) According to the FAA, unless you have a true service pet, the pet must stay in the carrier for the duration of the flight Some flight attendants look the other way and you can take the carrier out from under the seat so the pet can see you but technically you can't even unzip the carrier Your pet carrier counts as your personal item so it helps to have a carrier with side pockets for things you need on the plane Aisle seats don't have as much space under the seat in front of you for a carrier. The middle seat has the most space In the airport, the dogs don't always want to use the pet relief area because it smells and is unusual In the airport, dogs should be in carriers but not many people are policing that because service dogs are allowed to be out To go through security, they come out of the carrier and you can walk through the metal detector but you need to take off the collar so they need to behave to not run away and walk through if they are too big to carry Bring along a small water dish, water, and a few treats Jessica recommends layering a potty pad in the bottom of the carrier under a blanket so it is easier to clean if there is an accident Otherwise, you need to potty pad train them before travel Don't feed them right before a flight. Usually, the last meal should be 2-3 hours before travel To find pet-friendly hotels, use bringfido.com Hotels usually have a pet fee, which is typically around $20 per dog per night, but it can also be extremely high Red Roof, Motel 6, Kimpton, and Virgin Hotels generally are pet-friendly without a pet fee but they are franchises and still can charge a fee There is usually a limit of two dogs per room and a combined weight limit of about 150 lbs. Some boutique hotels allow you to bring more than two dogs For international travel, you can get a pet passport for EU countries For Canada, you can drive across the border with your pets The United States changed requirements for dogs coming into the country (even by car) that dogs need to be at least 6 months old, they have to have internationally recognized microchips, and have vaccinations up to date particularly a recent rabies vaccine and health paperwork You need to fill out a CDC import form Some destinations have strict quarantine rules (especially Hawaii and other islands) of 10-30 days Visit AdventuresCats.org to learn more about traveling with cats. Note that many hotels don't allow cats. Tamara recommends TrustedHousesitters.com for free pet and house sitting from vetted sitters. Use her referral link for 25% off a membership!

From July, motorists will have to pay 24/7 for parking, much of which was previously free on Sundays and outside 8am and 6pm. Dean Kimpton says the move was made to create the $74 million in savings that the Council has requested of it. He says that's alongside improving public transport. "This is what growing cities do.

It's official- Auckland's pedestrian crossings come at a far higher price than those in the capital. Figures from the 2021/2022 financial year show Auckland Transport chewed through $6 million on 12 signalised crossings, at an average cost of half a million dollars. Meanwhile, Wellington City Council built four cheaper, non-signalised raised crossings for just under $120,000. Auckland Transport Chief Executive Dean Kimpton says defended the cost of crossings, saying they're fundamentally different from those in Wellington. "From Auckland to Wellington, the prices are similar. What you're seeing in the $6 million or the 12 pedestrian crossings referred to in 21/22 were a whole range of other things that needed to also be done."

A push from Auckland Transport to get more people on bikes, as the Council discusses cutting cycle lane spending. Wayne Brown's proposed cutting some funding, including only delivering cycleways when AT can make them 'cheaper'. AT Chief Executive Dean Kimpton says he understands why some people aren't yet using two wheels. He says they need to find ways to make it more attractive. "To be fair, for a lot of families with young children- it doesn't feel safe. So we've got a deep commitment to get that right."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As I settled in for my latest culinary adventure, the "Chef AF" podcast with the incomparable Chef Eric Brownlee of Kimpton The Forum Hotel was my guide. It wasn't just another interview—it was a journey through the taste-laden pathways of Charlottesville, Virginia, led by a chef whose roots in sustainable cooking run as deep as the soil on his grandfather's cattle farm.Raised with the earthy aroma of Pennsylvania farmlands, Chef Eric's culinary narrative began amidst the beef cattle of his childhood, instilling in him an ethos of sustainability long before it was a culinary catchphrase. Over 15 years ago, a pivotal moment came with Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma," deeply engraving his commitment to ethical sourcing.At Birch & Bloom, the heartbeat of the hotel's dining experience, Chef Eric's menus dance to the rhythm of the seasons. "It's not just about crafting a menu," Eric shared, "it's a dedication to the narrative of every ingredient." His collaboration with local growers and butchers ensures that each dish sings with the freshest, most genuine flavors of the region. And when the climate throws a curveball? He adapts with a creativity as vibrant as the changing seasons—like pickling summer peaches to capture their essence.In the hustle of The Good Sport, Eric's playfulness spills into each dish. The menu is a homage to classic comforts with a twist—think Nashville Hot Oysters or Wagyu Brisket Sliders that harmonize with the local craft beer selection. "Here, we strip back the pretension without stripping the flavor," he says.What resonates most about Chef Eric is his unwavering connection to the land and his inventive spirit, nurtured during his time at Johnson & Wales in Charleston. Whether it's a health-forward, vegetable-driven plate at Birch & Bloom or a casual, yet intentional bite at The Good Sport, Eric's culinary vision is a testament to his philosophy: food should echo the environment it comes from and the moment it's enjoyed.His vision for the future is as fresh as his ingredients. Imagine a pop-up farmers market set amidst the hotel's sprawling arboretum, where guests can interact with the very farmers who nurture the produce, accompanied by live cooking stations. "It's about creating a full-circle experience for our guests," Chef Eric explains, eager to bridge the gap between farm and fork.So, whether you're a food enthusiast or a culinary novice, Chef Eric Brownlee's philosophy is a reminder of the beauty in every bite. His journey—one of continuous evolution—invites us to ponder, what will be on the plate tomorrow? Only the seasons, the land, and the chef's ever-evolving creativity will tell. Stay tuned, Charlottesville; the best, it seems, is yet to come.

Gia Polo's background includes serving as general manager for Stonebridge Companies in Washington, D.C.; corporate task force general manager for Interstate Hotels & Resorts; general manager for Interstate Hotels & Resorts in Washington; and managerial positions in suburban Washington and Greater Cleveland.

A new opening sets the tone for a hotel's success for years to come - so what does it take to do it right?I can't think of someone better to answer this question than Jorge Treviño, who, in his first role dedicated to this, opened up 44 hotels for Kimpton - before opening countless others as executive vice president at Two Roads Hospitality, and his most recent role as Senior Vice President of Openings and Operations for Hyatt. In this episode, we cover everything from what's at stake during the opening to what he learned about opening hotels for Bill Kimpton to best practices anyone can use during this process. Even if you're not opening a new property now, I learned a ton about providing hospitality well in this episode that I think you'll enjoy.Follow Jorge on LinkedInWhat did you think about this episode?

Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we talk about the business and marketing side of plastic surgery and how outsourcing is trending. I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying, as well as consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients, more profits and stellar reputations. Now, today's episode is called "Outsourcing is Trending — with David Kaufman, MD". There is a trend happening in our industry to outsource the parts of your practice that you don't enjoy doing such as: HR Benefits Management Inventory and so on Its popular in other industries to consolidate these tasks for increased efficiency as well as economies of scale to decrease overhead costs. This week's Beauty and the Biz Podcast is an interview I did with David Kaufman, MD who is a board-certified plastic surgeon in private practice in Fresno, CA. He is in the process of transitioning his practice to allow him to focus on surgery versus the business side of surgery.  He explains what he gains and what he loses when he hands off this part of this practice and how this outsourcing is trending amongst cosmetic practices. So interesting… Visit Dr. Kaufman's website P.S. Please review!

This is a different episode than I usually make. But, given that we will soon have an influx of visitors for the Cleveland International Film Festival and many other fantastic things happening here in the coming months, I decided to make an episode that highlights some of my favorite things...and those of some other Clevelanders in the hospitality biz. I was inspired to create this episode after creating my own "staycation" with the help of the Kimpton Schofield Hotel. I spent a dreamy 24 hours in downtown and saw the city in a new light. In this episode we meet some of the Kimpton team and hear about the hotel, restaurant and what they like to do when they're not taking care of guests. You'll hear from Illinois native Lindsay Smith, owner of Flight, a great little corner wine bar in Gordon Square, and Chef Doug Katz who grew up here and liked it SO much...he stayed. (Lucky for us!) So whether you are a local who doesn't get out as much as you might like, a visitor here for the first or fifth time, or someone thinking about making Cleveland your home, there is something for you here. Share with someone who might like this episode...it's the neighborly thing to do!
