In this special edition of The Modern Hotelier: Hospitality’s Most Engaged Podcast, David Millili, Steve Carran, and Jon Bumhoffer take a moment to pause, reflect, and look ahead as we hit the halfway point of 2025.

From standout interviews and hotel experiences to hilarious behind-the-scenes moments and the hustle of live events, the trio shares their favorite memories, biggest surprises, and what it really takes to keep the podcast (and media company!) running at full throttle.

Highlights include:

• Why laughter has become the heartbeat of the show
• Behind-the-scenes chaos (and joy) from filming hotel experiences
• Favourite guests—from heartfelt conversations to industry game-changers
• What they’ve learned as hosts, producers, and friends
• Who they dream of interviewing next

This isn’t just a recap—it’s a celebration of hospitality, creativity, and the people behind the stories.

Tune in to laugh with us, learn with us, and see where we’re heading next.
