What No Vacancy News, Podcasts and Videos does

No Vacancy News, Podcasts and Videos is a U.S.-based hospitality media company founded in 2017 by Glenn Haussman that produces podcasts, video content, and industry news targeted at hotel executives, owners, operators, and investors. The core product portfolio centers on the flagship No Vacancy Live! show, supplemented by additional recurring programs including Friday Night Audit, No Vacancy News Today, and ESLA Icons & Experts, distributed across podcast platforms, a dedicated YouTube channel, and social media. Content is anchored by Glenn Haussman, who brings 30 years of hospitality experience and an adjunct professorship at NYU's Tisch Center of Hospitality to the editorial voice, and the company claims recognition as the #1 hospitality show by the International Hospitality Institute every year since inception plus Top Travel Podcast recognition from USA Today.

The business operates as a lean, founder-led organization of 1-10 employees with no disclosed external funding. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: advertising and sponsorships from hospitality vendors and brands, speaking, hosting, and consulting engagements booked through the Book Glenn professional services platform, and a Patreon community for direct individual supporters. Book Glenn expands the offering beyond media into strategic advisory, custom content, Hotel 101 education, and live branded experiences, effectively converting the founder's industry profile into a services business alongside the audience-facing shows.

The go-to-market is event-driven and relationship-led: the company participates in global hospitality conferences, maintains a backlog of 100+ episodes across its shows, and has accumulated testimonials from named industry participants including Best Western, BridgeStreet Global Hospitality, and Vesta Hospitality. International coverage has been documented in markets including Brazil, Italy, China, and the UAE. The model is inherently dependent on sustaining the founder's personal brand and advertiser relationships, with limited obvious operating leverage given the small team.
