Dogs, Deadlines & Greece: A Wild Week in Hospitality
Welcome back to Check-Out Friday, our short-form spin-off of Check-In with Bryan where we unpack the chaos, insights, and laughs from the week—quick enough to catch on your lunch break or treadmill run (just not Bryan’s).
This week, Bryan and Tyler reflect on Tuesday’s conversation with Aileen Canta of University Hotels and the breakout star—Amper, her dog-slash-Chief Barketing Officer. From launching a brand during NYU’s hotel investment conference to recording with their first-ever dog guest, this one had it all.
We also tease next week’s episode with Jack Paul, a longtime friend in hospitality whose leadership style and grounded presence made for one of our most thoughtful conversations yet.
Plus, the team preps for an upcoming production trip through the Greek Islands with Virgin Voyages—from booking tattoos onboard to surviving interior cabins and marathon itineraries.
And of course, we close with Bryan’s latest hotel war story: how a $25 parking ticket became an existential crisis (and a wild elf-themed holiday party idea from the past resurfaced on Instagram).
