  • Quality and Trust in Vacation Rentals - Ashley Ching - Inhaven - Episode # 230
    2025/12/17
    How do you scale hospitality without losing quality, trust, or operational control? In this episode, Dan Ryan sits down with Ashley Ching, Founder & CEO of Inhaven, for a deep dive into the hidden limits of scale in hospitality and vacation rentals. They explore why service-based businesses often face diseconomies of scale, what leaders can learn from the rapid rise and fall of business, and how complexity, not competition, is often the true threat to growth. Ashley also shares how Inhaven is redefining standardization, elevating local expertise, and rebuilding trust in vacation rentals through consistent bed, bath, and kitchen experiences.Takeaways:Know when scale becomes a liability. Not every business benefits from getting bigger, evaluate whether growth will increase cost and complexity instead of efficiency.Reduce complexity early and often. Streamlined markets, clear standards, and simple operations make it easier to maintain quality and respond to change.Invest in strong local operations. Empower teams with on-the-ground knowledge to solve problems quickly and uphold service standards.Standardize what matters most. Consistent bed, bath, and kitchen experiences, or their equivalents in your industry, build trust and reduce operational waste.Grow with discipline, not impulse. Resist “growth for growth’s sake” and prioritize sustainable expansion rooted in quality, clarity, and long-term value.Quote of the Show:“Hospitality is really an expression of honor. It's how you honor yourself, your team, your guests, and your ancestors.” - Ashley ChingLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-ching-inhaven-b56a843/ Inhaven’s Company website: https://inhaven.com/ Inhaven’s Case Study: https://inhaven.com/case-study/ Inhaven’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inhavenkeep/ Ashley’s Website: https://ashleyching.com/ Shout Outs:3:31 - Ball Corporation https://www.ball.com/ 3:50 - SpaceX https://www.spacex.com/ 3:55 - Tesla https://www.tesla.com/ 7:52 - Ambridge Hospitality https://www.aimbridgehospitality.com/ 7:55 - Vacasa https://www.vacasa.com/ 10:59 - Turnkey https://www.turnkey.com/ 15:08 - Small Giants by Bo Burlingham http://www.smallgiantsbook.com/purchase.html 16:37 - Forney School District in Dallas, TX https://www.forneyisd.net/ 21:20 - Sonder https://www.sonder.com/ 23:43 - Seinfeld https://www.sonypictures.com/tv/seinfeld 24:26 - Pappa’s Restaurant Group https://www.pappas.com/ 26:58 - Extended Stay America https://www.extendedstayamerica.com/ 27:58 - Kool-Aid https://www.kraftheinz.com/kool-aid/products 28:09 - Chick-fil-A https://www.chick-fil-a.com/ 30:35 - Marriott https://www.marriott.com/default.mi 30:36 - Hilton https://www.hilton.com/en/ 31:23 - Hyatt https://www.hyatt.com/loyalty/en-US 31:25 - Hotels.com31:26 - Expedia https://www.expedia.com/ 31:38 - Airbnb https://www.airbnb.com/ 31:39 - Vrbo https://www.vrbo.com/ 33:14 - Ford https://www.ford.com/ 33:16 - Toyota https://www.toyota.com/ 52:47 - Gold Key Awards https://goldkeyawards.com/ 55:03 - Radical Innovation Ceremony https://www.radicalinnovation.io/insights/radicalinnovation2024-rwej2 55:08 - University of Nevada, Las Vegas https://www.unlv.edu/ 🏨✨ Defining Hospitality is Sponsored by Berman Falk https://www.bermanfalk.com/ - Check out their impact page! 🌍🌱 https://www.bermanfalk.com/impact/ Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1sAmazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419Transistor: https://www.defininghospitality.live/

  • Value Driven Growth in New Markets - Paul Sacco - PM Hotel Group - Episode # 228
    2025/12/03
    How do you decide where, and whether, to grow in a way that’s strategic, sustainable, and aligned with your organization’s values?In this episode, Dan Ryan sits down with Paul Sacco, Chief Growth and Development Officer at PM Hotel Group, to unpack the real thought process behind geographic expansion, from evaluating new markets to choosing the right partners. Paul reveals why his team rejects “growth for growth’s sake” and instead relies on a collaborative, intentional model that brings every voice to the table.He breaks down how they assess operational readiness, including whether nearby assets and staff can support a new deal, and why the quality of the asset, and their ability to truly add value, must pass a high bar. Dan and Paul also explore the importance of long-term owner satisfaction and why alignment in mindset and values is essential before entering any new relationship. This is a grounded look at strategic expansion, operational discipline, leadership, and building partnerships that last.Takeaways:Growth must be intentional. Expansion only works when it aligns with long-term vision, not just short-term metrics.Collaboration strengthens decisions. Involving diverse internal stakeholders leads to more thoughtful, well-rounded evaluations.Operational readiness is non-negotiable. Entering a market requires existing coverage or the ability to provide hands-on, high-quality oversight.Pick opportunities where you can add real value. Focus on assets where your operational expertise creates meaningful impact for owners.Choose aligned partners. Working with owners who share your mindset and values builds trust, longevity, and mutually beneficial growth.Quote of the Show:“Hospitality isn’t just something we do. Ultimately, it’s who we are. I think it rewards empathy, resilience, and creativity." - Paul SaccoLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulsaccolnkd/ PM Hotel Group website: https://pmhotelgroup.com/ Reach out to Paul: psacco@pmhotelgroup.com Shout Outs:3:57 - PM Hotel Group https://pmhotelgroup.com/ 4:33 - Starwood Hotels and Resorts https://www.starwoodhotels.com/ 14:23 - Marriott https://www.marriott.com/default.mi 14:24 - Hilton https://www.hilton.com/en/ 14:27 - Hyatt https://www.hyatt.com/loyalty/en-US 14:28 - IHG https://www.ihg.com/hotels/us/en/reservation 14:29 - Cambria by Choice Hotels https://www.choicehotelsdevelopment.com/our-brands/upscale/cambria32:02 - Kimpton by IHG https://www.ihg.com/kimptonhotels/hotels/us/en/reservation?adobe_mc=MCMID%3D43892042454798006989222247485972863449%7CMCORGID%3D8EAD67C25245B1870A490D4C%2540AdobeOrg%7CTS%3D1764601036 32:05 - Regent Hotels https://www.ihg.com/regent/hotels/us/en/reservation 38:31 - Tideline Palm Beach Ocean Resort and Spa https://tidelineresort.com/ 🏨✨ Defining Hospitality is Sponsored by Berman Falk https://www.bermanfalk.com/ - Check out their impact page! 🌍🌱 https://www.bermanfalk.com/impact/ Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1sAmazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419Transistor: https://www.defininghospitality.live/
