    Conversations and news that adds value

    The Hospitality Insider's Essential Listen
    I found Slick Talk last month and it delivers what most industry podcasts don't. Wil’s interviewing style cuts through typical hospitality jargon to address what matters. The range is impressive, covering hotels to vacation rentals with practical insights rather than obvious advice. I've implemented three specific strategies from recent episodes in my own operation. The conversations feel natural, episodes respect your time, and guests bring genuine expertise. This podcast has earned its place in my weekly routine by consistently providing value without wasting my time.

    Will is such a great host and a great person
    I love this podcast because Will is always such a wonderful host. His kindness and care for the industry he discusses comes across in every episode. As a guest on this show I was really impressed with Will’s authentic care for the topic and his ability to work with me as a non linear thinker 😂 It’s unique to hear someone who is simultaneously so knowledgeable about a topic and also open minded and kind in the process Great show Will! Keep it coming!!!!

    Distribution Geek Out!
    Wow! My experience on the Slick Talk podcast with Wil was nothing short of fantastic. Wil and I really connected on our mutual appreciation and passion for Distribution, Technology, and revenue management. Not only is Wil incredibly knowledgeable about the industry, but he's also an excellent host who knows how to keep the conversation engaging and insightful. We delved into various topics including distribution strategies, technology trends, revenue management, and more, all of which Wil navigated with ease and expertise. His polite demeanor, intelligence, and accommodating nature made the conversation flow effortlessly, and I found myself thoroughly enjoying every moment of our discussion. It's evident that Wil is not only passionate about the vacation rental and travel space but also dedicated to providing his audience with valuable insights and information. I highly recommend the Slick Talk podcast to anyone interested in learning more about the industry or simply looking for an enjoyable and informative listen. Thank you, Wil, for such a fantastic experience! I look forward to more discussions again soon.

    Unique insight, access, and value
    Wil’s Hospitality.FM is the byproduct of Wil’s unique perspective and experience in the hospitality industry. He not only started this podcast, but an entire podcast platform for the hospitality industry that gives him a rare breadth of exposure to entrepreneurs, listeners, and industry. This means knows what everyone else is talking about, so he focuses on the stuff you don’t hear over and over again, but still get immense relatable value from. It doesn’t hurt that Wil is an amazing guy that’s been through so much as an entrepreneur himself. Definitely recommend giving it a follow!

    Full of info
    I had the pleasure of guesting on Slick Talk (Episode airs Jan 2023). There is so much value packed into a short episode, largely by the thoughtful questions Will asks. This show is an excellent resource for experienced hosts, new hosts or people considering entering the hospitality industry (whether it be STR, vacation rentals or hotels). His passion for the industry and his listeners is evident

  • Gabby Candia
    Love this podcast!
    While I’m not in the hospitality/rental business I always love listening to this podcast because it helps me better understand what goes into vacation rentals, the hosts, and boutique hotels. It also helps me better choose who and what I want go with when I travel. I do apply some of the hospitality principles I hear in this podcast to my cleaning business as I understand top notch customer service is important to everyone.

    More Than I Could Have Imagined
    When I first listened to Slick Talk, I was expecting to hear a few simple topics within hospitality in which would run dry quite quickly. But Wil covers the whole spectrum. The depth and detail on each subject within hospitality has been incredible. Not only is he knowledgable himself, but he brings on expert guests who are helpful in the industry. Wil asks the questions that matter and has a strong admiration for customer experience and storytelling. Anyone can talk about hospitality. But Wil is dedicated to advancing the community around hospitality and strengthening it through this podcast. It’s also refreshing to listen to a podcast with a host who is willing to learn with us. Very happy to have found this podcast!

    So You Want to be a Hotel Manager
    Listened to the “So You Want To Be A Hotel Manager” and it was super insightful and beneficial to hear. I’m interested in working my way up in the hotel management field and found this podcast to be super helpful to listen to to see what it is all about. Wil Slickers rocks!
  • Aburt6622
    Hospitality knowledge at its best
    Have you ever heard Brennan Huff sing? Then you’d know it’s like hearing someone who sounds like a mix of Fergie and Jesus. Wil’s podcast on hospitality is just like I described above, maybe even better. Its thoughts and knowledge on the topics at hand are second to none. If you want to hear about something that could possibly help your business, even a tad bit, I’d listen. I listen and I don’t even have a business or work for a hotel! So if you’d like to hear something as majestic as this podcast, please, if you do anything right in your life, please listen. You may learn something to share with your friends, even if they don’t want to listen. You’ll still share, we all know you will.
