„Brich aus der Norm aus. Verändere Deinen lyf-Style“ Der Reiseradio Talk über eine Hotelmarke mit neuer Philosophie Podcast: lyf-style and Co-Living Banken und Business – Skyline von Frankfurt am Main – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD „Der neue Weg dazu zu gehören“ Vangelis Porikis – Head of Corporate Services & lyf Europe – Foto: The Ascott Limited Hotels Das ist mal eine Ansage. Neue Generationen wollen offensichtlich andere Hotels. Gleichwohl schätzen Angehörige von „Generation X“ und „Generation Z“ weiterhin Hotels und deren Service. Das ergab eine, in den letzten Wochen veröffentlichte, Untersuchung und Umfrage bei der Zielgruppe. Nur meinen die Angehörigen dieser Generationen dasselbe wie andere, wenn sie von Hotels reden? Das ist für Hotelbetreiber und Hotelgruppen auf der einen Seite beruhigend und gleichzeitig auch herausfordernd. Denn es stellt sich die Frage, wie das gewünschte Angebot den aussehen soll. Es gibt inzwischen schon einige Angebote und dazugehörige Marken, die versuchen, diese neue Hotelphilosophie umzusetzen. Herausfinden, was begehrt ist Eventuell aber gibt es sogar genau das, was jüngere Kundschaft will, bereits als Produkt? Darüber rede ich mit Vangelis Porikis, Head of Corporate Services & lyf Europe bei der Hotelgruppe The Ascott Limited. lyf oder “live your freedom” Eine Abkürzung in Schen Lifestyle wird zum Produktnamen. Die Hotelgruppe „The Ascott Limited“, zuhause in Singapur, hat sowohl Namen als auch Konzept entwickelt und präsentiert mit dem „lyf-East Frankfurt“ das erste Haus in Deutschland. Der Ursprung ist in Asien und auch in Australien gibt es schon erfolgreich laufende Häuser der Marke. Lyf – East Frankfurt und sein „Quartier“ Anziehungspunkt Ostend Franfurt: EZB – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das Haus liegt im seit einigen Jahren immer stärker angesagten Frankfurt Ostend. Der Stadtteil war früher geprägt durch Industriebetriebe, kleine Fabriken, den Osthafen der Stadt und die dort angesiedelte Großmarkthalle. Alles hat seine Zeit. Die Fabriken verschwanden. Die Großmarkthalle ist jetzt der Eingangsbereich der Europäischen Zentralbank. In die Fabriklofts zogen Werbe- und PR-Agenturen, Autohäuser gefragter Marken, von BMW über Mercedes-Benz und Audi bis Tesla. Ich schätze mal, das ist ein guter Platz, um sich anzusiedeln. Konkurrenz Der Wandel des Frankfurter Ostends brachte auch Restaurants und Hotels ins Viertel. Hier findet man neben anderen: 25 hours, Scandic, Hampton by Hilton, Innside, Motel One, moxy, B&B, A&O Hotels & Hostels. Junge Marken, alle mit einem besonderen Konzept. Folglich geht es im Hotel-TALK auch um die Unterschiede, die Philosophie und – es geht ja ums Verkaufen der Produkte – den USP (Unique Selling Point = Alleinstellungsmerkmal). Hier passt das lyf zu 100 Prozent in die Landschaft. Und dort sticht auch seine Fassade aufs Feinste heraus. Besonders überzeugend sieht das am Abend aus. Modern, stylisch und trotzdem einladend. lyf East Frankfurt: Hier geht’s lang – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann /ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD USP und Markencharakter Ich lese in der Markencharakterisierung über die Zielgruppe: lyf is for the go-getters, the dreamers, the trend-setters and those with a thirst for authenticity. Aha, aber was ist eine Hotelmarke für Macher, Träumer, Trendsetter und alle mit einem Durst auf Authentizität? Was damit gemeint ist erzählt Vangelis Porikis im Podcast. Co-Living Panoptikum: Für Meetings und Konferenzen – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD lyf sei ein Co-Living-Konzept, das es digitalen Nomaden, Technopreneuren, Kreativen und Autodidakten ermöglicht, “ihre Freiheit” in einer dynamischen Umgebung zu leben. Die Zimmer sind gemütlich, klein aber völlig ohne Schnick-Schnack. Letzterem kann man in dem Co-Living-Bereichen begegnen. Dazu gehört nicht nur die Co-Working Zone (Connect), sondern auch ein Konferenzraum (Panoptikum), zwei Co-Living-Küchen (Bond), in denen man als Gast eigene Mahlzeiten zubereiten kann, ein Event- und Wohnraum (Huddle) und für alle Aktiven mit Burn einen gut ausgestatteten Fitnessraum im Keller. Alle Räume lassen sich wahlweise für Zusammenkünfte, Seminare oder auch Partys exklusiv buchen. Dazu kommt noch, für sonnige Nachmittage eine Dachterrasse mit Sitzgelegenheiten. Private-Living Gemütlich – Praktisch – Klein: Mein Zimmer im lyf East Frankfurt – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Zimmer sind ziemlich klein, bieten aber ALLES was man braucht. Vielleicht ist die „Enge“ dort gleichzeitig eine Aufforderung sich innerhalb des Hauses dem CO-Living zu widmen. Bauliche Struktur Hotelfassade mit den Social-Living Bereichen am Abend – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das architektonische Geheimnis liegt in der Unterteilung der durch die Glasfront lichtdurchfluteten Gemeinschaftsräume im vorderen Teil des Hauses und (auch akustisch) abgetrennt die Zimmer. Seitenbereich des Hotels mit den Zimmern – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Diese Kombination bietet insbesondere für Gäste, die länger bleiben Rückzugsmöglichkeiten im Zimmer auf der einen und die Möglichkeit sozialer Kontakte in den Gemeinschaftsbereichen. Gastronomisches Angebot Restaurant “leuchtendroter” – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Hier hat man sich Partner ins Boot geholt für das Restaurant „Leuchtendroter“. Hier wird abends vegane Küche zelebriert (gehobene Preise!). Die Betreiber sind auch zuständig für das Frühstückangebot, wahlweise am „Kiosk“ in der Eingangshalle oder als Frühstücksbüffet im Restaurant. Das Angebot am Morgen ist ebenfalls vegan und sehr lecker, wie ich bei meinem Aufenthalt feststellen durfte. Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD In den beiden obersten Etagen ist die Bar „Marmion“ zuhause. Drinks und Cocktails plus „satte Sounds“ in der Bar oder (bei gutem Wetter) auch eine Etage höher, auf der schon erwähnten Dachterrasse. Community Nicht in Permanenz, aber regelmäßig. Den Hotelplanern ist es wichtig, das Haus auch für die ganze Nachbarschaft zu öffnen. Im „Neighborhood-Gedanken“ spiegelt sich die Philosophie, das Hotel als integralen Bestandteil des Stadtviertels zu sehen. Für die Gäste auch Kontakt zu den Menschen der Umgebung zu bekommen und umgekehrt. Dies geschieht mit unterschiedlichsten Veranstaltungen im Haus, von Lesungen, über Konzerte, bis hin zu Yoga-Stunden und Kursen. Das „vegane Ostend“ trifft sich auch regelmäßig im Restaurant. Am Abend meiner Übernachtung, gab es dort nicht einen einzigen freien Platz. Preise Nach der Führung durchs Hotel: Rezeption heisst “Say Hi!” – Foto: ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wenn man, wie ich mit Kleingruppe, in der absoluten Nebensaison (Freitag im Januar) übernachtet, trifft auf günstige Übernachtungspreise ab 58 Euro pro Doppelzimmer. Wenn Frankfurt voll ist (Messe, Konzerte etc.) sind die Zimmerpreise, am Markt orientiert, natürlich höher. Vangelis Porikis betont aber, dass man durch die östliche Randlage (trotz guter ÖPNV-Anbindung) immer etwas günstiger sein könne. Völlig überzogene Zimmerpreise, die die Konkurrenz durchaus aufrufe, lehne er aber ab. Der weitere lyf-Weg Der Ausbau der Hotelzahl ist in Europa erst im Aufbau. Bisher gibt es nur drei Hotels (Wien, Paris, Frankfurt) und damit erst ein Haus in Deutschland. Absicht sei es aber, die Marke zu verankern und die Hotelzahl bis 2030 auf mindestens 30 Hotels wachsen zu lassen. Eine echte Herausforderung. Information & Links lyf East Frankfurt lyf Hotels in aller Welt Hinweis Das “lyf East Frankfurt” hat die „Jurysitzung Audiopreis“ der Vereinigung Deutscher Reisejournalisten (VDRJ) Ende Januar als Sponsor unterstützt. Dabei durfte ich das Hotel kennenlernen. Trotzdem wurde meine Meinung nicht beeinflusst. Das Gespräch mit Vangelis Porikis wurde Anfang dieser Woche nach journalistischen Grundsätzen geführt.

In this episode of Ingenious Thinkers, Ken Tencer speaks with Janice Gassam Asare about the widening gap between technological capability and cultural readiness.AI is advancing quickly. Organizational culture, governance structures, and equity frameworks often are not. Janice explains why leaders must critically examine how emerging technologies can reinforce existing inequalities, why inclusive leadership requires structural commitment, and how organizations can avoid outsourcing ethical judgment to algorithms.This is a grounded and practical discussion about leadership accountability in the age of AI. Rather than framing innovation as inherently positive, the conversation invites leaders to slow down, assess impact, and build systems that reflect intentional values.Brought to you by Say Hi to the Future.Listen now and join the conversation.

Your favorite duo is backkkk. After a little breather, Courtt and Rima return to the mic catching up on life, work, and everything in between and yes, they're tired, but the vibes are still very much intact. This episode feels like a late-night kitchen talk with your homegirls: honest, hilarious, and a reminder that life doesn't stop just because you're exhausted. Courtt reflects on the grind of long workdays and the excitement of stepping back into podcasting after delivering 54 solid episodes, while Rima opens up about being booked, busy, and running on fumes but still showing up. What We Get Into: -Summer Walker announces tour -Mariah Carey music cares tribute -Brandy received Black icon award -B2K is back? -No chaser - when old connections come back around The Soundtrack: Ari Lennox - Horoscope Girlfriend - Everybody But Me Say HI to kidz on Social: Rima IG| just.karima_ Court IG| keepinitcourtt Pod IG| rccpod Rate, and Review on Apple Podcast Website: https://www.redcuppod.com Email: Redcuppod@gmail.com
This week, Courtt and Rima are back on the mic (virtually, mind you) with tired eyes, strong opinions, and zero tolerance for hater behavior. From snowy streets and parking stress to champagne pours and borrowed Jack Daniels LOL, Episode 207 kicks off exactly how you'd expect: real life first, music and mess immediately after. The girls catch up on work, fatigue, winter blues, and the struggle of leaving the house when parking is on the line. Then it's time to pour up and get into what really matters the Grammys, aka our Super Bowl. And surprisingly? Nobody's mad.We break down standout wins, performances, and speeches, including Duran Bernard's well-deserved Grammy moment, Kehlani's continued rise, and why some artists just know when they're in their bag. There's deep appreciation for authenticity, longevity, and artists who stay true to themselves while still winning. Of course, it wouldn't be RCC without side commentary: confusion over new artists, debates about breath control, and very strong feelings about tributes, vocals, and who understood the assignment. Lauryn Hill's tribute sparks thoughtful (and slightly chaotic) conversation, while performances from Lucky Daye, Leon Thomas, and others get their flowers. What We Get Into: Virtual recording chaos and tired-girl energy Snow, parking stress, and why leaving the house is a risk Pour-up check: champagne vs. Jack Daniels Grammy wins that actually made sense Duran Bernard's journey and long-overdue recognition Kehlani's Grammy moment and musical evolution Album pacing, artist rollouts, and letting music breathe Performances, vocals, and who really understood the assignment Lauryn Hill's tribute and honoring legends properly New artists, breath control debates, and musical curiosity Red Cup Rule of the week: stop being a hater The Soundtrack: Muni Long - Delulu Tone Stith - Waiting on You Say HI to kidz on Social: Rima IG| just.karima_ Court IG| keepinitcourtt Pod IG| rccpod Rate, and Review on Apple Podcast Website: https://www.redcuppod.com Email: Redcuppod@gmail.com

Meet Ariana Ferwerda. She's the founder of Halfdays. She's looked at women's ski apparel, thought it sucked and decided to do something about it. Ariana saw a real gap in the market. Women's ski gear that was either technical and ugly or cute and useless. She talks about trusting her instinct on opportunity, what it was like to raise money ‘early' in her career, building a brand and an inventory heavy business in a highly competitive category without pretending she had it all figured out.We also talk about gatekeeping in the outdoor industry - what it's like to break in and break thru. We also get into why women have been asked to choose between function and identity for so long.

Why she built it (spoiler: rage), what the data actually says about making money as a solo operator, and the uncomfortable truth about chasing algorithms, “six-figure launches,” and creator-business hype.What you'll learn:If you're tired of marketing fluff and want real-world levers you can pull in 2026—this one's for you.Why most solopreneur “benchmarks” are fake (and mentally expensive)The common thread among $500K–$1M+ solopreneurs (hint: newsletters)LinkedIn vs “owned channels” and how to stop renting your audienceHow to build CTAs that don't feel gross (and actually convert)Services vs products: traffic game vs relationship gameWhy “7-figure business” talk is meaningless without margins
In this episode, we break down 3 moves you need to make so your 2026 marketing strategy isn't a dumpster fire:1. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — why organic traffic is dropping (hello, zero-click + AI Overviews), and how to start showing up in Google's AI results and tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.2. Cold email infrastructure — why “send rate” ≠ “deliverability,” what's changed with ESPs using AI, and how to build outbound systems that actually land in the inbox and start conversations.3. Content in 2026 — why “more content” isn't the answer anymore, how we're thinking about standing out, and how to use AI the right way (strategy, analysis, brainstorming) without losing your brand voice.If you want a clean action plan: start with Google Search Console, find the pages/queries that dropped, and optimize the low-hanging fruit for AEO first. __________Subscribe For More Video Content :https://www.youtube.com/kylemilan__________Say Hi on Social:LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylemilan/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylejmilanFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KyleJMilan/__________Connect For Business:Milan Media: https://milanmedia.comMilan Media on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/milanmedia/Industrial Sales University: https://training.industrialsalesu.com/enroll
