112. Have Bookings Dropped? This Little Device is the Answer! Interview with StayFi
Welcome, and thanks for checking in today to No Vacancy The Podcast!
On today's episode of No Vacancy, I sit down to chat with Arthur Colker, CEO and founder of StayFi. This little device gets added to your wifi setup in your Airbnb listing, and simply requires that all guests input their email before gaining wifi access – yup, just like hotels and coffee shops!
Sounds simple, but the possibilities this has for increasing bookings and guest experience are endless. Arthur walks us through each and every creative way he's found for StayFi to elevate your entire hosting operation. By the end of this episode, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!

109. $5 Million in Real Estate in Just 18 Months! Interview with Kacia & Seena Ghetmiri
Welcome, and thanks for checking in today to No Vacancy The Podcast!
The Ghetmiri’s were so much fun to interview! This couple shared how they went from burnt out and overworked in dentistry, to going all in on real estate. I loved hearing how they work together as a couple, and how they balanced this new venture while becoming parents in the last year.
Their growth has been super fast, but super intentional, with just a few strategic investments. I ask them to breakdown their numbers with all the transparency, and they didn’t hold anything back!
