FNA 217: Belon Our Wildest Dreams

Staypineapple Hotels President Dina Belon joined us for Friday Night Audit, and within minutes we were talking about underground printer-paper markets, retired Peabody ducks and why her early Google results once featured photos from the Playboy Club.

So, a completely normal hospitality conversation.

Craig Sullivan and Dr. Producer Suzanne Bagnera were along for the ride, while I broadcast from EPCOT, questioned ducks about their employment history and went five-for-five on a Phish quiz. After more than 200 shows, I would’ve been embarrassed if I missed one.

Dina also had plenty to say about what Staypineapple is doing with AI, guest experience, technology and those famous pineapple chunks.
