Welcome back to the third season of the How to Save Your Vacation Rental Business podcast. After our podcast conversations and a research deep dive, we've developed a comprehensive, printable scorecard which we are excited to share with you.  
In this episode, we are privileged to host Tim Rosolio, the Vice President of Vacation Rental Partnerships at Expedia Group. Tim shared critical insights on our journey so far and guided us in the last phase of our scorecard project.
Moreover, we investigated the role of Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) in supporting and advocating for partners and hosts. From his personal perspective as a vacation rental owner in Lake Travis, Texas, Tim has not only local advocacy knowledge, but a global OTA perspective.
Don't miss our season's finale next week, featuring Jamie Lane of AirDNA where we will critically analyze our final scorecard draft, delve into advanced advocacy issues, and reveal a downloadable version of the scorecard. Stay tuned!

In this episode, we're thrilled to have Vina Rathbone-Falvey, a market research expert, joining us. Throughout the season, we've been exploring ways to quantify the challenging questions surrounding public sentiment and community feelings towards vacation rental regulations for our scorecard.
Vina guides us through the power of market research and polling in understanding and navigating these complex issues. From surveying guests to social listening and more, Vina will share her expertise on how to gain a deeper understanding of public opinion and make data-driven decisions. Additionally, she will also provide insights on how to pair that data with human stories for greater impact on communities and government.

Happy 2023, listeners!  This week we're letting Matt Landau's Unlocked podcast takeover our channel and share an interivew with Matt Durrette of Cozi Vacation Rentals. Matt is emblematic of the kind of Homerunner that the Unlocked podcast loves talking to, but he's also been thrown into one of the fastest moving advocacy situations in the country and we think his takeaaways will be invaluable to the How to Save audience.
