Welcome to the first episode of The Unique Hospitality Podcast, formerly known as The Start A Glamping Business Podcast!

We've revamped the format, with fewer interviews and more deep discussion on the important issues, ideas and challenges in glamping and unique hospitality. You'll hear more from previous guests that have provided the most value, and we think this will help us uncover more gold nuggets than ever before.

For the first episode of the new format, we welcome back Bygnal Dutson of Open Sky in Zion. We discuss what's changed at Open Sky since his last appearance; what we think separates the top 5% of glamping operators from the rest; and we end up grilling Bygnal for all his guest experience secrets.

If you've not listened to an episode for a while, we suggest you give this one a chance.

Welcome to Part 2 of the most important episode we've ever recorded.

To celebrate recording 75 episodes of The Start A Glamping Business Podcast, Nick was grilled by regular co-host, Connor Schwab, on the most important lessons he's learned from interviewing dozens of successful glamping operators.

It's a must-listen for any prospective glamping operator, and we'd love for you to share it with anyone that would find it useful.
