In this episode of the Builders of Authority Podcast, I sit down with Jennifer Dempsey-Blakely to talk about building authority while running multiple businesses across hospitality, short-term rentals, and experiential brands.
Jennifer is a lifelong entrepreneur and Hazelwood Central graduate who built her education through hands-on experience, conventions, and continuous learning. With 30 years in management and merchandising at Marshalls, a decade running a commercial cleaning company, and extensive experience in short-term rentals, she and her husband Shane combined their expertise to create The Landing Hub, a unique hospitality concept that blends the best of hotels, Airbnbs, and large group travel.
Designed for independent travelers, families, and groups, The Landing Hub was built to be a clean, safe, and community-focused space where guests can connect, relax, and truly feel at home.
What we cover in this episode:
- Running multiple businesses without chaos
- Dividing responsibilities and staying in your lane
- Branding unique experiences people talk about
- Why community beats traditional marketing
- Building businesses that do not fit into one box
- Knowing when to jump on opportunities and when to wait
- Delegation, systems, and freeing up mental bandwidth
- Long-term authority versus short-term tactics

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
