  • Morgan SicklesHis thoughts on the state of the current economic cycle, and his take on Jamie Dimon and Warren Buffett’s statement that “we’re in the 6th inning.”
  • How hoteliers can take advantage of the 2018 Tax Reform, including completing a 2021 PIP by 2019, and replacing an HVAC system in 2018 to cash in on Section 179 expansion.
