This week, we look at 50 years of Preferred Hotels & Resorts. Topics include company history, expansion, the evolution of the independent hotel space, and why it's so popular today, as well as the future of Preferred.

First, Glenn speaks with Chris Green, COO of Chesapeake Hospitality on topics such as industry consolidation and its effect on management companies, what tax reform means to management companies and the owners they serves, and analysis of the upcoming Hunter Hotels investment Conference.
