Checkin' In – The Hospitality & Tourism Podcast
Checking In – The Hospitality & Tourism Podcast
Welcome to Checking In', where honest conversation meets real hospitality. Hosted by Jeremy Nichols and Dr. Peter Ricci, this isn’t another fluff-filled industry chat. We dig into the unfiltered realities of hotels, restaurants, clubs, and tourism, from leadership and labor to culture, growth, and the uncomfortable truths most people avoid.
Our guests aren’t here to spin PR. They’re operators, executives, and innovators who’ve lived it, and they’re ready to talk about what’s really happening behind the scenes.
If you care about where the hospitality industry is headed, what it really takes to lead people well, and how to stay ahead in a business that never sleeps, you’re in the right place.
Every episode, we’re checkin' in on what matters most.
