In this episode of Checkin’ In, we sit down with Glenn Haussman, one of the hospitality industry’s most recognizable voices. Glenn is the host of No Vacancy, named the number one hospitality podcast from 2021 through 2024, and the International Hospitality Institute’s number one Social Media Influencer in Hospitality. He was also selected among the Top 50 Most Inspirational People in Global Hospitality in 2024 and 2025.

We dig into what leaders should really pay attention to right now, how media shapes investment and operations decisions, and why great storytelling still wins. Glenn shares lessons from interviewing public company CEOs and game-changing operators on No Vacancy Live, plus what he is seeing across No Vacancy News Today and Friday Night Audit. We touch on his award-winning work during the Covid crisis, teaching at NYU, and the mindset that keeps him consistently ahead of the curve. And most importantly, the landscape of our industry in 2025-2026.
