About

Pillow Talk Sessions is your gateway to the ideas and concepts driving change across hospitality, serviced rental living, and real estate. Hosted by Jessica Gillingham and Kristian Lupinski, the podcast explores the changing worlds of hospitality, proptech, serviced living, and real estate through conversations with industry leaders.

Each episode explores the transition from simply providing spaces to creating value, community, and experiences. We discuss everything from operational shifts away from asset-focused approaches toward customer-centric models to changing customer behaviors, convergence of asset classes, global trends, and typology issues. From cutting-edge prop tech innovation to flexible stays and changing demographics, we uncover how hospitality and serviced rental living are reshaping the way we live, work, and play.

Whether you're in real estate, hospitality, multifamily, short-term rentals, proptech, PBSA, build-to-rent, retirement living, co-living, or just curious about where these industries are headed, Pillow Talk Sessions offers engaging, thought-provoking conversations that will inspire and inform.
