]]> 142 Big Announcement! We've Been Acquired! In this episode, I’ve got some big news to share: Slick Talk: The Hospitality Podcast, Good Morning Hospitality, and Suite Success by Katie Cline have officially been acquired by Skift — the leading voice in global travel and hospitality media. This is a full-circle moment for me, and I couldn’t be more excited to join the Skift team as their new Director of Video and Audio Strategy. I’ll be overseeing a growing slate of shows, video content, and creative across the platform as we level up what hospitality media can be. Now, with all this change comes a little shift in scheduling: Slick Talk will be hitting pause for a bit while we gear up for Skift Global Forum this September in NYC. The show will return later this October. In the meantime, Good Morning Hospitality and Suite Success will keep going strong, publishing weekly as usual. If you haven’t already, now’s a great time to dive into Skift’s other podcasts too — there’s a ton of smart, thoughtful content happening across the network that I think you’ll get a lot out of. Most importantly, I just want to say thank you. For seven years, you’ve listened, shared, and supported this journey. This next chapter is only possible because of that. And I’m beyond grateful.

]]> 4602 Future Perspectives on Hospitality Technology | Richard Valtr https://hospitality.fm/show/slick-talk/ In this episode of Slick Talk, we invited Richard Valtr of Mews, a cloud-based property management software company, for another enlightening conversation. The discussion centers around several key points, including the evolution of Mews since our last conversation in July 2020, the immense potential of AI in the hospitality sector, and how a shift in perspective from viewing hospitality as merely 'real estate' to a provider of a 24-hour lifestyle experience can enhance operations and customer satisfaction. The podcast also covers the recent acquisitions by Mews and how they align with the company's vision, notably the acquirement of Nomi Travel, an AI-focused app, and the launch of Mews Ventures. Richard also shares some thoughtful insights about the role of AI and data in personalizing and improving the hospitality experience and his vision for the industry's future.

Well, do we have an episode for you! In this BONUS episode, Wil Slickers moderates a live discussion between industry names like Amy Hinote, Steve Milo, Matt Landau, Mike Sjogren, and Eric Moeller.

What's the difference? To many, the difference is geographic locations like urban vs destination markets. But it goes deeper than that and we try to dive into this more and more throughout the conversation. Do you have thoughts you'd like to have heard? Want to join this conversation? Send us your thoughts via email at info@hospitality.fm and make sure the subject line says "Let's Talk" for a chance to be part of this conversation once we go for round two!

]]> 2974 Hotels, Short-Term Rentals, and Everything in Between Can Grow Together https://hospitality.fm/show/slick-talk/ Josiah Mackenzie joined me in Denver to record this episode in person and I couldn't have walked away from a more refreshing conversation. This episode is dedicated to the heart and spirt of hospitality for all type of brands, businesses, and operators out there. Josiah's career in hospitality started working the front desk at a small property on the California coast. From there, he built a hotel marketing website which eventually 70,000+ hoteliers used each month to learn how to increase demand for their properties. Josiah wanted to learn how to turn demand into revenue, so spent a few years at a revenue management technology company before spending the past few years working with hotel owners and hospitality real estate investors at Juniper Square. But it was during the years he spent helping to build what became one of the biggest hotel operations technology companies in the world (ReviewPro, 60,000+ hotels) that he learned something that has stuck with him since: operations is the most important part of a hotel business today.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Josiah Mackenzie joined me in Denver to record this episode in person and I couldn't have walked away from a more refreshing conversation. This episode is dedicated to the heart and spirt of hospitality for all type of brands, businesses, and operators out there.


Josiah's career in hospitality started working the front desk at a small property on the California coast. From there, he built a hotel marketing website which eventually 70,000+ hoteliers used each month to learn how to increase demand for their properties. Josiah wanted to learn how to turn demand into revenue, so spent a few years at a revenue management technology company before spending the past few years working with hotel owners and hospitality real estate investors at Juniper Square. But it was during the years he spent helping to build what became one of the biggest hotel operations technology companies in the world (ReviewPro, 60,000+ hotels) that he learned something that has stuck with him since: operations is the most important part of a hotel business today.

Hospitality.FM is a podcast network dedicated to bringing the best hospitality-focused podcasts to those in and around the industry. From Food & Beverage, Guest Experience, Diversity & Inclusion, Tech, Operations, Hotels, Vacation Rentals, and so much more, Hospitality.FM is passionate about giving the industry a prominent and louder voice to reach more listeners by “Going All-In On Audio.”

What started as a simple podcast for Wil Slickers, over the years of growing his audience and learning the ins and outs of the podcast world, and being mentored by others along the way, he is now going all-in on audio! Most podcasts statistically don’t make it past ten episodes when they launch and with HFM, we want to make sure that statistic no longer becomes true.

The audio revolution is here, and we are going to lead it all with the power of podcasting.

]]> 2533 no Michelin Rated Podcast?! with Josh Kopel https://www.slicktalkthepodcast.com Josh Kopel is a restaurateur, tech pioneer and environmental advocate. Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the spawn of bootleggers and retail giants, he was bred for the hospitality industry. Throughout Kopel’s 20+ year career in hospitality he has managed venues ranging from the Alligator Bayou Bar, located on Alligator Bayou Road, seated on Alligator Bayou (it was exactly how you’re picturing it in your mind) to the hottest Hollywood nightclubs, bars, and ultra-lounges (far less glamorous than you’re picturing it in your mind). Kopel went independent in 2010, opening his first concept Five0Four, a New Orleans-inspired bar, on the Walk of Fame in the heart of Hollywood. In subsequent years, he would open the Michelin-rated fine dining concept, Preux & Proper as well as South City Fried Chicken, voted the best fried chicken in Los Angeles by LA Weekly. Despite his success, he saw foundational issues within the industry and set out to fix them himself. In 2018, Kopel founded FLO Hospitality Solutions, a company solely focused on leveraging tech to bring more humanity to the customer service experience, not less. His first product, FLO, launched in 2019 offering an all-in-one communication solution for restaurants, saving restaurateurs 1,500 labor hours per year while increasing their profits, on average, 5-15%. . In 2020, the pandemic offered another opportunity for Kopel to serve the industry. In response to the devastation he saw, Josh created FULL COMP, a podcast, blog and video series dedicated to seeking out thought leaders from within and outside of the hospitality industry, using their wisdom to help the restaurateurs survive the present and thrive in the future. Kopel’s varied interests and talents have landed him several positions of influence including board seats on the Hollywood Hills West Neighborhood Council and the California Restaurant Association. He is also a co-founder of the Friends of Runyon Canyon, a non-profit focused on the protection of local Los Angeles Park areas. This episode is sponsored by our friends at NoiseAware!

]]> 2358 no Learning More About The Annex Hotel with Ryan Killeen https://anchor.fm/wil-slickers/episodes/Learning-More-About-The-Annex-Hotel-with-Ryan-Killeen-e17liah Ryan Killeen’s hospitality career officially began after participating in the hotel management program at Vancouver Community College. While in school, Ryan started cleaning bathrooms and making beds with the housekeeping team at the Fairmont Pacific Rim — considered Vancouver’s definitive luxury hotel. He was climbing the ladder at a healthy pace and was presented with an opportunity to join the opening team in Dubai at Fairmont the Palm. Without processing what this meant, Ryan said yes. Living in Dubai, working with 52 different nationalities, and leading the guest services team was the most eye-opening experience of my life. For Ryan and fellow North Americans, it was an opportunity to gain valuable work experience and open the floodgates to new opportunities back home. For others, it was an opportunity to provide for their families and give their children a future. After returning to North America, Ryan took on progressive roles in Vancouver, Calgary, Boston that included sales, business development, leadership, and operations for Sonder, a ‘Hometel’ company bringing together the authenticity of peer-to-peer home rental plus the dependable, elevated services of a hotel. Currently, Ryan operates the Annex Hotel in Toronto as GM. As a property manager, business owner, and entrepreneur, you already have so much to do in a 24 hour time period.

Weitz began his hospitality career leading development and as general counsel for Kiawah Island Golf Resort helping to entitle and build the Sanctuary Hotel at Kiawah Island, South Carolina. During his tenure, he also worked with ownership to acquire and completely restore the historic Hermitage Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, and oversaw the planning, design, and construction of both The Ocean Course Clubhouse and The Turtle Point Clubhouse. These experiences molded Weitz’ passion and drive for creating his own company. Weitz is an alumnus of Clemson University and the University of South Carolina School of Law. A resident of Charleston, South Carolina, Weitz has served on the Board of Governors for the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and a member of the Board of Trustees at Porter-Gaud Schools.

Being a natural entrepreneur and follower of Real Estate, Emir turned a spare bedroom above his detached garage into the genesis for a new asset class within Real Estate and into an opportunity for investors to create more value while de-risking their portfolio through Rabbu. Prior to founding Rabbu, Emir was a Senior Product Manager at NBC Sports which he joined as part of the acquisition of KYCK. Emir joined KYCK as a free intern, after failing to find satisfaction as a Civil Engineer, and eventually worked his way up to be the Vice President of Operations when it was acquired by NBC Sports.  Emir was originally born in Bosnia and Herzegovina (formerly Yugoslavia) and was forced to flee there when a civil war broke out. After spending 6 years in Germany, Emir moved to the United States at the age of 12. Having survived civil war and beaten cancer, Emir is conditioned to beat adversity and not to take any situation and opportunity for granted.  Join us today to know the role of technology in the short-term rental industry.  Risk is something we can’t avoid and you know this!

In working with thousands of vacation rental property managers, Jeremy saw a shift starting to take place - guests were expecting higher-quality properties and more concierge service. Jeremy figured that these changing consumer dynamics would place a heavier burden on property managers, and that professionals would require purpose-built tools to handle heightened standards of property care and more service interactions. Breezeway was born soon after in 2016 with the mission to power the future of property care and service. In this episode of Slick Talk, you will hear Jeremy and myself talk about his journey and our perspectives on the state of the industry and where we expect it to pivot as we believe the barrier of entry is rising.
