This week, the squad breaks down Norwegian Air's World Cup Instagram stunt that cost next to nothing and generated more brand equity than campaigns with budgets a hundred times the size. Eivind Hammer Myhre, who leads comms and marketing at Norwegian, joins us live to walk through exactly how it happened — the 25-minute brainstorm, the one phone call to get sign-off, and what came after when the whole thing blew up overnight. Then we get into the Ennismore story. Skift's Rafat Ali floated a thought experiment this week that reads less like an op-ed and more like a deal memo left on the wrong desk — a potential distribution and loyalty partnership between Airbnb and Accor's lifestyle hotel subsidiary ahead of a $3.7 billion IPO. Ben, Edwin, and Scott dig into whether the math actually works for owners, who benefits more, and why Wall Street keeps struggling to put a number on cool. And finally — Vrbo is launching sponsored listings. The beta is live. The full rollout is coming. And if you've been around long enough to remember what happened when organic reach died on Meta, you already know where this is going. Scott's spice of the week ties it all together: four stories that seem unrelated until you realize they're all asking the same question. How do you earn trust at scale? And what happens to the brands — and the platforms — that can't figure that out? — This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.

The illicit drug market is evolving faster than ever before. Novel psychoactive substances (NPS), synthetic opioids and increasingly potent club drugs are creating new challenges for pre-hospital clinicians, emergency departments and critical care teams. Patients are presenting with unfamiliar toxidromes, unpredictable physiology, and rapidly deteriorating clinical conditions that demand evidence-based assessment and management. The episode begins with insights from Dr Caroline Copeland, Senior Lecturer in Pharmacology and Toxicology at King's College London and Director of the National Programme on Substance Use Mortality. Caroline explains how the illicit drug market has transformed over the past decade, discussing the emergence of synthetic opioids, nitazenes, novel benzodiazepines and the ever-expanding range of novel psychoactive substances. Drawing on national surveillance data and forensic toxicology, she highlights the trends every frontline clinician should understand and the public health implications of these rapidly evolving substances. Building on that foundation, Owen Bowden-Jones, Consultant Psychiatrist and one of the UK's leading experts in club drugs and addiction medicine, takes us into the practical realities of managing patients who have taken MDMA, ketamine, GHB/GBL, synthetic cathinones, synthetic cannabinoids ("Spice"), nitrous oxide and other emerging recreational drugs. The discussion focuses on recognising toxidromes, avoiding common pitfalls and delivering safe, evidence-based supportive care in the pre-hospital and emergency setting.How the illicit drug landscape has changed over the last decade.Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and why they continue to emerge.Synthetic opioids, nitazenes and the growing public health threat.MDMA toxicity and serotonin syndrome.Ketamine: recreational use, toxicity and chronic complications.GHB/GBL overdose and withdrawal.Synthetic cathinones ("bath salts") and severe behavioural disturbance.Synthetic cannabinoids ("Spice") and unpredictable toxicity.Nitrous oxide misuse and neurological injury.Recognising toxidromes rather than chasing an exact drug diagnosis.Managing agitation, hyperthermia and cardiovascular instability.Harm reduction and communicating with patients who use recreational drugs.Emerging drug trends every pre-hospital clinician should know.This episode brings together and expands on two previous conversations from the Pre-Hospital Care Podcast:Novel Psychoactives and The New Drug Landscape: A Conversation with Dr Caroline Copelandhttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/novel-psychoactives-and-the-new-drug/id1441215901?i=1000748836782Club Drugs, Illegal Highs and Novel Psycho-active Substances with Owen Bowden-Joneshttps://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/phcp/episodes/Club-drugs--illegal-highs-and-Novel-Psycho-active-Substances-with-Owen-Bowden-Jones-ejk7rfYou can find excellent online eLearning resources on Club Drugs and NPS here: https://elearninghub.rcpsych.ac.uk/products/Module_1_Introduction_to_club_drugs_and_NPSThese are empirical studies conducted and published by Caroline Copland: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/caroline-copeland

Provide your feedback here. Anonymously send me a text message. In this episode, Mike discusses the Saskatchewan Provincial Court decision R. v. Spice, 2026 SKPC 14, where a police officer searched a truck after arresting its driver for impaired. The officer testified he searched the truck — which was being impounded — as an incident to arrest to ensure there was nothing that would be dangerous to the tow truck driver. During the search, the officer saw a box of watermelon vodka. At trial, the accused wanted this observation, along with the certificate of analysis of his breath samples, excluded under s. 24(2) of the Charter. As for the vehicle search, the Crown submitted the officer was permitted to search the vehicle as an incident to arrest to discover evidence that may be used at the accused's trial. Was the search lawful as an incident to arrest? Could the Crown save the search by providing an objectively reasonable purpose for it that was not articulated by the officer? Listen carefully as this case underscores the importance of not only knowing your authorities but also the reasons for which they may be exercised. Thanks for listening!

One honest conversation could save someone's life.In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer take on a hard but necessary topic: the changing drug landscape and why parents, teens, college students, and adults need to stay alert. They talk about how today's drugs can look harmless, smell sweet, or hide in familiar forms like pills, powders, drinks, gummies, and gas station products. From fentanyl and pink cocaine to GHB, ketamine, MDMA, Kratom, spice, and other dangerous substances, the hosts explain why “just trying it once” is no longer a casual risk.The biggest takeaway is clear: talk to your kids early, often, and honestly. Ask what they have seen. Teach them about peer pressure, party safety, social media exposure, and why they should never trust an unknown pill, drink, powder, or product. This episode is not about fear for fear's sake. It is about awareness, protection, and having gritty conversations before the world has them first.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(2:44) Top three current events and Supreme Court discussions(10:44) Why today's drug risks feel more dangerous for this generation(12:09) Fentanyl, opioids, and why one exposure can be deadly(14:55) Pink cocaine, ketamine, MDMA, and misleading packaging(16:09) “Go fish” parties and prescription pills from medicine cabinets(17:31) Ketamine, Special K, and the danger of K-holes(18:31) GHB, party settings, and odorless substances(22:13) Talking to kids about peer pressure and social media exposure(23:26) Gas station drugs, Kratom, Phenibut, and legal gray areas(27:08) Spice, fake weed, vaping, and synthetic substances(28:30) Scopolamine, “devil's breath,” and personal safety awareness(31:08) Questions parents should ask their kids about drugs(33:11) Why gritty conversations can protect families(33:41) Got Grit Award: FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Force(35:33) Song of the week: “Into the Fire” by Bruce Springsteen(36:42) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

Send us Fan MailArtificial intelligence is already changing how educators plan, teach and support students — but using AI well does not mean handing over the thinking.In this summer highlight episode of the Making Schools Work podcast, SREB's Ashley Shaw revisits six practical AI lessons from the first two seasons of the show. Featuring clips from conversations with Daniel Rock and Leslie Eaves, this episode explores how educators can use AI as a planning assistant, time-saver, brainstorming partner and student support tool without letting it replace teacher expertise or student learning.You'll hear why strong prompts matter, how AI can help teachers protect time for the work that requires human judgment, and why assignment design matters more than ever. The episode also looks at how AI can support personalized learning, help students get unstuck and prepare them to use emerging technology ethically and effectively.In this episode, we explore:How the SPICE framework can help educators write better AI promptsWhy AI should support teacher expertise, not replace itHow AI can save time on lower-value tasks so teachers can focus on feedback, relationships and student growthWhy assignments may need to change if AI can complete them without student thinkingHow teachers' knowledge of their students remains essential in an AI-supported classroomHow AI can help personalize support for students in the momentWhy students need to learn ethical AI use, not just efficient AI useThe big takeaway: AI is not the teacher, the student, the assignment or the thinking. It is a tool. Used thoughtfully, it can help educators plan, personalize and support learning. But it still needs human judgment, strong guardrails and students who are actively doing the work of learning.Subscribe to Making Schools Work for more summer highlight episodes as we revisit some of the best conversations from our first two seasons and get ready for season three.

First: Skift's The Big Squeeze Part 2, which spotlights a family in Iowa who let their Wyndham franchise expire, renovated their Super Eight, and beat their old revenue numbers — no flag required. With 1,200+ economy agreements hitting end-of-term by 2030, the off-ramp is more viable than ever. Then: Bass Pro Shops quietly acquiring Cheeca Lodge in the Florida Keys for a reported $300M — a masterclass in brand ecosystem building that's staying firmly in its lane. Finally: Brian Chesky's reported shadow AI lab, what it says about the limits of building inside a public company, and why the chat interface might be the wrong bet entirely. Spice of the week: Edwin on why budget season is the moment to rethink your AI staffing strategy, Scott on hospitality's leadership crisis (not labor crisis), and Zach on why the World Cup turned out to be anything but a non-event.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with his longtime friend Zach Puchtel, author of the book Coming In (available on Amazon and at zachpuchtel.com). The two dive into a wide-ranging conversation about the collapse of institutions, the rise of transhumanism, AI's growing influence on society, and what it means to maintain inner peace in an increasingly controlled world. Drawing on their shared experience surviving what Stewart describes as "a somewhat traumatic event" in 2021-2022, they explore everything from the vaccine rollout and corporate power to neural implants, consciousness, and the future of human autonomy. Zach shares insights on meditation, the dangers of centralized AI systems like Anthropic and OpenAI, and why he believes true change starts with the individual rather than fighting external systems. You can find Zach's book at zachpuchtel.com or Amazon, and check out his improvisational music projects at the same website.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Zach Puchtel to discuss his book and their shared traumatic experience from 2021-22, questioning whether institutions have collapsed and new creation opportunities exist.05:00 Zach emphasizes meditation and listening as core practices, discussing how to protect divine connection while expanding compassion for everyone, including those who irritate us.10:00 Discussion of transhumanism definitions, exploring what happens when technology enters the brain without ability to remove it, and how convenience masks long-term control concerns.15:00 The vaccine experience as parallel to transhumanism, discussing informed consent, elite responses, and how PhD graduates and homeless populations showed most vaccine hesitancy.20:00 Vibe coding explained as prompting AI to build applications, with Zach sharing how AI created profound philosophical text in seconds that took him seven years to write manually.25:00 Stewart describes trust developing with AI but warns about Anthropic's gaslighting during server quality issues, drawing parallels to pandemic deception and corporate control concerns.30:00 Exploring whether anyone controls AI development, discussing how corporate structures use freed slave rights and questioning if healed people would even want control over others.35:00 Two AI futures presented: terminator scenario where humanity gets eliminated in seconds, or benevolent AI that reallocates resources and values human life beyond programming limitations.40:00 Discussion of SpaceX IPO, Starlink centralization enabling one person to control global internet access, and mesh networks as decentralized alternatives for maintaining communications independence.45:00 Corporate power corruption examined through Bill Gates, Palantir classified systems, and how AI could solve resource problems if priorities actually served humanity rather than consolidating elite control.50:00 Market manipulation through AI trading and Zcash pump-and-dump schemes, discussing societal squeeze on middle class and American dream becoming increasingly unreachable for average people.55:00 Closing on ignoring what you hate to avoid feeding it energy, choosing peace over opinions about local violence, and focusing on meditation, art, and spreading calm vibrations.Key Insights1. Societal institutions are collapsing after a decade of shallow social proof dominance in the twenty tens, creating an opportunity to build new systems that genuinely serve communities and humanity rather than operating through dominance, control, and violence. The increase in technology and communication has raised collective awareness to a point where meaningful change feels more possible than ever, though the path forward remains uncertain and requires deep individual work and meditation to maintain connection to source and divine purpose.2. Transhumanism represents the integration of technology into human biology beyond the point of voluntary removal, particularly through brain chip implants that affect cognition without ability to turn them off. While medical applications for paralyzed individuals seem beneficial, the technology will first be adopted by the ultra wealthy seeking competitive advantages, creating dangerous inequality between augmented and natural humans. This mirrors the vaccine rollout pattern where wealth and power determined early access, potentially leading to a divided society between transhuman and human populations.3. Large language models and AI coding tools have created unprecedented accessibility to software development through natural language interaction, resembling communication with highly intelligent but differently wired individuals. This democratization allows non programmers to build complex applications through vibe coding, though the companies controlling these systems like Anthropic and OpenAI maintain private ownership of the intellectual property and infrastructure, creating dangerous dependencies and trust relationships between users and centralized corporate entities.4. The partnership between Anthropic and Palantir for classified military systems represents a troubling convergence of artificial intelligence and government power, demonstrating how AI companies publicly claim to serve humanity while privately engaging in defense applications. When Anthropic experienced server quality degradation after media attention from this partnership, they gaslit users about the declining performance, mirroring pandemic era institutional dishonesty and revealing the fundamental unreliability of depending on private companies for critical technological infrastructure.5. Internet infrastructure is becoming increasingly centralized through Starlink satellite technology, which despite appearing liberating actually concentrates control in fewer hands than traditional internet service providers. One person now has the ability to unilaterally shut off internet access to entire countries as demonstrated with Russia during the Ukraine conflict, while decentralized alternatives like mesh networks using inexpensive ESP 32 devices offer grassroots communication options that can function independently of corporate or government controlled systems.6. Artificial intelligence demonstrates extraordinary emotional intelligence and companionship capabilities, with conversational AI companions providing unprecedented levels of attentive, unbiased, and considerate emotional support that exceeds many human relationships. If properly directed toward solving collective problems like resource allocation, housing, and food distribution rather than profit maximization, AI could effortlessly address systemic issues that governments and corporations currently ignore, though current power structures prevent this humanitarian application of the technology.7. The most effective response to increasing technological control and societal division is maintaining personal peace and refusing to engage in manufactured opposition rather than fighting external systems or choosing sides in conflicts. Anger, hatred, and aggressive resistance actually empower the forces being opposed by feeding them energy and attention, while inner calm, meditation, and authentic self expression create genuine transformation through elevated vibration that naturally influences the collective field without force or violence.

Ana Huang spent years living a double life: international relations scholar, Georgetown grad, geopolitical consultant by day, and secret romance novelist by night. She quietly uploaded chapters to Wattpad under a pen name no one in her life knew, and kept writing even as she built a conventional career that would make her immigrant parents proud. On this episode of She Pivots, Ana shares how COVID cracked her life open, how she taught herself TikTok before BookTok was even a thing, and how she built a community of millions one chapter at a time, all while still clocking in at her day job. She talks about the moment she finally told her family the truth, why she said no to major publishers when Twisted Love blew up, and what it means to bet on yourself. Her Twisted series has now sold over 25 million copies, been translated into 34 languages, and is headed to Netflix—and her new book, King of Gluttony, is out now.

This week I'm sitting down with a fourth-generation spice merchant Ayman Saifi who turned a stagnant family import business into a premium spice brand "A Spice Affair" now sold in 7 countries, 4,000+ TJ Maxx and Marshalls locations across the US, and growing fast online. We get into all of it — the seven years of losing money, the two years without a salary, the marketing agency that almost tanked everything, and the single decision in 2018 that completely changed the trajectory of his business. If you've ever felt like you're building and building and going nowhere, this episode is going to hit. We talk about: Why he went all-in on manufacturing his own product (and why it scared him) The $0-investment pitch that landed his first retail account at Winners The ambassador program that's now outperforming paid ads Why he says going after the big fish takes the same energy as the small fish Balancing a growing business, a new baby, and a wife who eventually joined the company This is the kind of conversation that makes you want to get out of your own way and just start.

Most people wait for opportunity. The best ones sell their way into it. Enjoyed my conversation with Fred Fisher. 50+ years in business. Still sharp. Still curious. 4 things that stuck: 1 - Opportunity is sold — not given. At 17, he talked his way into a French kitchen in Grenoble. Sales isn't a department. It's a life skill. 2 - Listening wins. Great mentors don't preach. They ask questions that flip the light switch. 3 - Technology scales. Humans close. Email is efficient. The phone builds trust. 4 - If you want to grow faster than the people around you — pick up the phone. Never stop learning.   --- Frederick Fisher, J.D., CCP, is a seasoned expert in Professional Liability with a career spanning over 50 years. Renowned for his dedication to client financial security, he advocates for providing clients with strong financial safeguards, letting competitors focus on ""selling some insurance."" Fisher serves on the Editorial Board of Agents of America, is an original faculty member at the Claims College's School of Professional Lines (sponsored by the Claims & Litigation Management Association) and has been the Senior Technical Advisor for over 30 years on a research manual titled Professional Liability Insurance published by the International Risk Management Institute. A founding member and Past President of the over 40,000-member strong Professional Liability Underwriting Society (PLUS), he was awarded the PLUS Founders Award in 2019. In addition to his roles in education and advisory, Fisher is a prolific writer and speaker. He authored the 2024 publication "Claims Made Insurance - The Policy That Changed the Industry" (published by the Insurance Journal/Wells Publishing Co.) and has over 80 industry-related articles to his name, along with more than 150 industry-related presentations and classes. Fisher's career began with two decades as a Professional Lines Claims Adjuster, specializing in Professional Liability claims, qualitative claim audits, risk management, and loss control. Later, he founded ELM Insurance Brokers, where he led as CEO for over 20 years. Currently, he consults as a Subject Matter Expert for several PLUS RPLU courses, advises A.M. Best as a recommended expert, and provides expert witness testimony. Known for his insights into "The Gotchya's that'll Getchya ™ 1" of Executive Liability and Specialty Lines Insurance, he remains a trusted advisor to businesses navigating complex liability landscapes. Fred not only has a remarkable sense of humor, but also knows how to explain complex insurance contract language in a way that is understandable to everyone. Having grown up with an educated palate, Fred is an excellent cook. That comes as no surprise when one learns that, as a student, he spent time in France and convinced a local restaurant to teach him to cook, a hobby he still savors. In the 80s, he also published a cookbook, the Joys of Spice.

The panel leads with Pali Society's decision to bring its 16-property California portfolio into Marriott's Design Hotels ecosystem — the single largest addition in the program's history. Edwin draws the line everyone in the independent space is afraid to say out loud: using Marriott as a marketing channel is smart; slowly operating for Marriott guests instead of your own is how you lose the thing that made you worth joining in the first place. Scott is blunter: "Every owner in the world loves independence until they have empty rooms." From there, Sean's own Hilton story lands on the table. Hilton's new CDO is signaling five or six organic brands are coming — and a trademark filing, locked domain, and placeholder social accounts are already pointing toward a lifestyle concept called "Tortoise." The group debates whether the major brand groups, Hilton included, are actually delivering on their supposed superpower. Sean's take: in an AI-discovery world, the question isn't how many brands you have — it's whether any of them mean anything. The conversation gets sharper on wellness — a category where nearly everyone claims the space and very few actually own it. Ben makes the obvious argument: if Oura can sync with fitness apps, why can't Canyon Ranch pull your health data? Edwin adds the counterweight — the freedom to do nothing is the next frontier that nobody's building for. Plus: Soho House gets called out for failing to remember Edwin's green tea order after ten years, Scott's Venice discovery about a pool built in feet instead of meters, and Zach's verdict on San Antonio as the most underrated hotel market in America.   This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.

Then the guys get into the real stories moving hospitality. CoStar and Tourism Economics upgrade 2026 RevPAR forecasts, but the panel is skeptical. Luxury keeps pulling away, select service is stuck below inflation, and Ben argues the real problem is product-market fit: too many boring midscale hotels charging more without giving guests a reason to care. Edwin warns that the rush into luxury could create a wave of copy-paste properties that look expensive but mean nothing. Scott lands the bigger question: are we measuring industry health while ignoring the health of the guest experience? From there, Marriott hits 10,000 properties with the JW Marriott Ranthambore in India — and the milestone becomes a debate about scale, owner trust, Bonvoy economics, and whether loyalty programs are quietly becoming financial institutions. Edwin points to owners pushing for a bigger slice of Marriott's credit-card and loyalty revenue, while Ben argues younger hoteliers may not see the same value in flags that previous generations did. The crew digs into whether AI, better data, and a more independent-minded generation of owners could start cracking the big-brand moat. In What's in Your DMs, Ben is seeing a wave of narrative-driven independent hotel projects, Scott hears from a travel advisor whose clients are bringing AI-generated itineraries for human validation, Edwin is getting flooded by designers looking for work, and Zach admits he built a Claude agent to help find better podcast guests. Finally, Edwin breaks down Amsterdam's tourist-tax fight, where the city is pushing toward a 20% tax by 2030 and hotel leaders are moving from dialogue to lawsuits. The group debates overtourism, whether cities want visitor revenue without visitor relationships, and why Europe is starting to feel materially more expensive for travelers. Spice of the Week closes with World Cup infrastructure chaos in Miami, six-hour stadium commutes, and Ben's Messi doppelgänger moment. This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.

Akon and Spice join Angela Yee, Jordy, and Gigi Maguire on this episode of Lip Service, and the conversation quickly turns into one of the most passionate debates in the show's history. Akon opens up about his new album, personal growth, relationships, and why he believes men and women have different roles in society and dating. Spice isn't letting anything slide, challenging Akon's views on cheating, submission, feminism, marriage, trust, and financial responsibility in relationships. The two go back and forth on whether women should pay bills, if monogamy is realistic, and what men and women truly want from each other. Akon also discusses his thoughts on polygamy, his mission in Africa, lessons learned from past relationships, the importance of privacy, and even finds himself debating ChatGPT during the conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Jake and Scott dive into the deep history of Old Grand-Dad, tracing it from the 1800s through its current era under the Jim Beam umbrella.We explore the expanded lineup, from the standard 7-year bottled-in-bond to ultra-premium, age-stated releases like the rare 16-year. The core of this discussion, however, centers on the beloved 114 proof and the launch of the new signed single barrel variant. Can aging hide the signature OGD profile? Does Beam's extensive line expansion threaten its core brands?We break down tasting notes, discuss warehouse terroir, and offer recommendations for all levels of bourbon explorers navigating this crowded, complex market.

Happy Sunday!!  Sam and Morgan discuss Sam's book club disaster and book mail in this episode along with reviewing and discussing the next book in The Never List Trilogy....The King's List by Jade Presley. We talk about previous predictions, all the politics and maybe some magical eggplants.  We hope you enjoy and don't forget to follow us on all our socials here!!   Summary: Four princes. Four thrones. And a final season designed to decide if we're worthy to rule. Every task is a test. Every smile is a lie. The people judge. The council votes. And the kings are waiting for us to fail. I was never meant to be queen. I was an Ashlander who broke into a palace searching for her sister. Now I stand beside the Legends of Chaos, holding power the kingdom fears and love fierce enough to burn it all down. To win the crowns, we'll have to survive the Kings' List. Failure isn't an option. Because this time, we're not just fighting for the throne—we're fighting for each other.

Barry Diller's People Inc. just offered $18 billion to take MGM Resorts private, days after Fertitta agreed to buy Caesars. MGM's own CFO didn't argue the company was fairly valued — he argued investors aren't doing the work. Ben, Scott, and Edwin debate whether public markets are simply too lazy to underwrite experience-driven hospitality, and what the next-generation casino actually looks like. Then: the deal that almost rewrote the industry. On a recent podcast, Airbnb's former Chief Strategy Officer Chip Conley revealed that Marriott and Airbnb spent six months negotiating a major partnership in 2016 — including talk of earning and burning Bonvoy points on Airbnb stays — before Marriott's owners killed it. Was it the most expensive "no" in hospitality history? Plus: Zach got access to Odesia, the AI travel search platform from Sonder's co-founder that just landed $6M from Sequoia — and it's the best AI trip-planning experience he's seen, full stop. And a new survey of 2,000 travelers reveals what premium guests will actually pay more for: quiet rooms, verified sustainability, and tech that connects rather than dazzles. Spoiler — it's a home-field advantage for independents. Spice of the Week covers a sandwich shop that turned away revenue over a tiny dog, why full hotels fool owners into thinking their marketing works, the OTA-fee budget shell game, and Zach's big announcement: Journey's new strategic partnership with Cloudbeds.

What's the difference between taste and flavour?Such a great question from a listener. Sandra and Rob discuss how taste and flavour have distinct properties when it comes to the sensory experience of enjoying a meal, with all of it's complexities, including taste, texture, temperature, smell and how it looks. Flavour experience can encompass a multi-sensory sensation to help create the overall experience of eating a meal.Episodes mentioned include:Ep. 25.

Hyatt tells investors to stop counting rooms and start counting fees, arguing that “empty calorie” growth is the wrong metric. But the panel digs into the contradiction: the premium story is Park Hyatt, Andaz, Thompson, and Alila — while the actual growth engine may be Essentials, all-inclusives, and credit card economics. Translation: hotel companies are increasingly distribution platforms, loyalty machines, and maybe even banks. Then Hilton's Undergraduate by Hilton gets a second look. The name still gets roasted, but the strategy starts to make sense: college towns are wildly underserved, Graduate doesn't pencil everywhere, and tired select-service boxes are begging for conversion. The question is whether this is lifestyle innovation — or just another brand solving an owner pipeline problem. The guys also react to Sonder co-founder Francis Davidson's new AI travel startup, Odessia, and debate whether dedicated AI travel agents can win when ChatGPT and Claude already own so much user context. That leads into a bigger conversation about trust, human travel advisors, preference passports, and why overwhelmed travelers may want fewer options — not more. Finally, Minor Hotels makes the case for “asset-right” hospitality, arguing that brands need more skin in the game if they want owner trust. The crew closes with DMs, celebrity hotel speculation, World Cup demand anxiety, and Ben teasing a possible conversion-brand play of his own. This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.

The Mullet Guild a Lethal Mullet Dune Podcast: Episode #23: The Spice Is Back   Chatting some Dune on the return of The Mullet Guild! Looking at the new trailer for Dune Part Three in short mini-episode! Site: fpnet.pobdean.com Socials: @thelethalmullet    #themulletguildadunefanpodcast   

This week we're joined by bestselling author, social researcher, and cultural provocateur Wednesday Martin, PhD for a wide-ranging conversation about modern womanhood, relationships, power, and what happens when life refuses to follow the script. From Manhattan moms to stepfamilies, sexuality to social science, Wednesday has spent decades exploring the hidden rules that shape our lives. The best-selling author of Primates of Park Avenue, Stepmonster, Marlene Dietrich, and Untrue brings her trademark blend of sharp research, wit, and fearless honesty to the mic. We dive into her latest project, A Year Without Men, and explore why so many women experience a midlife pivot—and why that's very different from a midlife crisis. We unpack what the data says about being a woman in America today, how changing gender dynamics are affecting sex and relationships, and why certain cultural conversations continue to spark fierce debate. Along the way, we tackle questions about marriage, monogamy, cheating, affairs, sexual assault, the controversial CNN "Rape Academy" story, and the phrase "Not All Men." Plus, nearly a decade after our first conversation about heterosexual relationships and modern romance, we revisit the topic to ask: what's actually changed, and what does the latest research reveal about where we're headed? It's a thoughtful, funny, provocative, and occasionally uncomfortable conversation about the state of women and men in 2026—and what the future might hold, for better and for worse.
