Welcome to the Distinguished podcast with Dean Arun Upneja of Boston University School of Hospitality Administration.
We skip the small talk and get right into the top-of-mind topics in the world of hospitality, including, but certainly not limited to, inflation, recruiting and retaining talent, the wellness and wellbeing of our team and our guests, climate action, and the impact of robotics and AI on the future of Hospitality. And that’s just to name a few.

On this show, you’ll hear from executives, general managers, founders, and investors who live and breathe Hospitality. The “distinguished” guests on this podcast represent all areas of our industry, from hotels and restaurants to entertainment and sporting venues, travel and tourism, and of course, a favorite pastime for many of us —shopping — because, to put it simply, Hospitality is at play in most parts of our lives and livelihoods.
