    157. This Is Scary... 2025 Airbnb Updates Are Upon Us – Interview with Marilynn Taylor

    Today we catch up with Marilynn Taylor on the latest Airbnb updates (remember her from episode 56?)... could this spell trouble for hosts and set you up for MAJOR liability risk?! I always do a solo episode whenever we have new Airbnb updates, but the summer release went right over my head. There was so much to break down, so many changing policies, so much that left hosts vulnerable... but luckily, Marilynn did the hard work of calling Airbnb and getting to the bottom of this so I didn't have to 😜 For anyone who has been scared by what you've seen on social media about this update, I think you'll find this episode really clarifying on what we actually need to worry about, and what could end up a blessing in disguise!

    156. How to Dominate Markets That Lack Data & A Personal Update From Me!!!! - Interview with Madi Johnson

    Today I talk with Madi Johnson. If you don't know her already from STR Book Club and her growing brand, For The Love Of Upstate (FTLOU), you may remember her from episode 96 where we talked about how Madi's favorite deals are "the ones that don't pencil in AirDNA". When we last had her on No Vacancy in February 2024, Madi's idea of going all in on the Upstate NY market was just a gut feeling, but 15 months and 4 live properties later, she has proven her intuition true – this market, and her approach to it, is CRUSHING IT. Some quick stats: FTLOU is outperforming in winter 4x market projections Their summer months are outperforming their own high-end revenue goals by 30-40% Their social media presence has exploded, landing Madi over $18,000 in free furniture for their listings And over $5,000 in sales commission through her affiliate shop Over 600 DMs looking to book FTLOU properties directly I'm also so excited to announce that I'm now working with FTLOU to help find partners for their growing portfolio!!!

    151."I'm Not Building This to Sell. I'm Creating Generational Wealth." - Interview with Freewyld's Eric Moeller

    This week I talk with Eric Moeller from Freewyld – a hospitality brand featuring a boutique collection of cabins in Idyllwild, CA, but soon expanding to other nature-based locations across California! Eric took an incredibly unique approach to building Freewyld. He started with the brand first, before he ever secured a property. In most cases, we hear from hosts who found a property, and then realized it could benefit from having a brand. But Eric is a testament to the reverse. By building the brand FIRST, he was able to (almost effortlessly) attract the perfect property, the perfect investor, the perfect team, and the perfect guests. Eric's story really shows that "branding" is more than a buzzword. It's the values that turn your entire vision into reality. If you've been procrastinating brand-building as something "to cross off your to-do list", this conversation will challenge you that your brand should be the start and end of every single move your business makes. Connect with Eric on LinkedIn Book a Freewyld stay Let's partner?! We're actively looking for 3-5 investors for our latest 5 bedroom, waterfront home in Upstate NY. → Fill out this interest form, and I'll send over the pitch deck! Thank you to my sponsors!
