Behind the Stays

The New Era of Exploration: How Today’s Travelers Think About Loyalty, Independent Hotels, and Experiential Stays


Listen Later

Meet Mollie Reese, the host of the popular Stay in Good Company podcast and an experienced community builder who has spent her career working with leading brands across the the food & beverage and events & hospitality industries.

Having recently left the world of corporate burnout and the hustle and bustle of city-living behind for a slower way of life, Mollie set out to pursue personal passions in travel. 

Throughout her journey, she is in search for authentic stories to share, curious about different cultural experiences, and inspired to curate a community who, like her, seeks to be in good company. 

In this episode, Mollie and I discuss: 

  • Lessons she learned while working for brands like Anheuser-Busch, True Food Kitchen, and a couple of startups in hospitality
  • Mollie’s thoughts on how the next generation of travelers will discern where to go and where to stay
  • Her hot takes on how the next generation of travelers thinks about loyalty programs
  • The biggest opportunities she sees for folks to build successful brands and businesses in this space
  • Stream Stay in Good Company
