Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in and we check what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of the Suite Spot. This is Ryan Embree coming to you live from my home office here in Orlando, Florida. With me today, we have another familiar guest and a familiar voice, Jason Lee. He is our Vice President of Product development and Technology. Jason, you probably have been with us the most in 2020, so far, so we'll have to come up with some sort of award, but I appreciate you being on with us, Jason.
