Today's Headlines: Clarence Thomas showed up to Congress yesterday and was all sus about why, though Politico reported Republicans say he was there for the special members-only doctor's office. The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that mail ballots postmarked by election day can be counted even if they arrive up to five days later — not what Trump wanted, who went off on the justices despite his own voters benefiting equally — and separately declined to hear his appeal of the E. Jean Carroll verdict, meaning he has to pay her $5 million. The Court also overturned the 91-year-old Humphrey's Executor precedent, allowing Trump to fire FTC commissioners without cause and setting a standard that applies to basically every federal regulator except the Federal Reserve Board, meaning he still can't fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook like he wanted. More major rulings are expected this week on transgender athletes in sports, campaign finance, and birthright citizenship, which the administration is determined to end. In other news, Airbnb cofounder Joe Gebbia, now running Trump's "National Design Studio" alongside DOGE veterans, has reportedly been quietly rebuilding government websites — including passport applications, TrumpRX, and a White House-controlled mirror of vote.gov — with tracking code that records and replays every click, scroll, and keystroke and sends the data somewhere off the public internet, so that's normal. Meanwhile, a Wall Street Journal investigation found that over 1,000 viral Polymarket betting videos showing people winning big were entirely staged — Polymarket paid influencers to post fake wins using a password-protected dupe website that mimicked real trades, then paid clippers to spread the videos, racking up 140 million views of completely fabricated winnings. And finally, Comcast announced it's spinning off NBCUniversal — including Bravo, SNL, Law & Order, the theme parks, and Peacock — to focus on broadband, and investors loved it, sending shares up over 4% after a rough year.

The Devil's Ledger — Week of June 30, 2026 This week on The Devil's Ledger, we celebrate the spirit of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the United States, Canada, and Mexico continue welcoming the world with open arms. Amid months of political division, it's been refreshing to see communities across North America reminding us why sports have a unique way of bringing people together. From packed stadiums to neighborhood watch parties, hospitality has taken center stage—and yes, maybe ranch dressing deserves a little credit too. We begin, as always, with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week. This week we travel to Montreal's historic Griffintown, where ghost hunters, historians, and curious locals gathered on June 27 to await the legendary return of Headless Mary Gallagher. Murdered and decapitated in 1879, local folklore claims Mary's spirit returns every seven years on the anniversary of her death, wandering the streets in search of the head she lost nearly 150 years ago. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, it's a haunting reminder that some stories refuse to die. On The Devil Within, our Campfire Files series continues with one of our most believable paranormal stories yet. Four college friends rent an Airbnb cabin for a relaxing weekend in the mountains and discover what appears to be an ordinary board game left behind by a previous guest. The only problem? It's a Ouija Board. What begins as harmless curiosity slowly transforms into something unsettling, proving that sometimes the scariest stories aren't the loudest—they're the ones that feel like they could happen to anyone. On Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio is keeping this week's case a complete secret. Is she racing to meet another impossible deadline? Or has she uncovered a story so disturbing she wants listeners to experience it with fresh ears? We honestly don't know—but knowing Carolyn, it could very well be both. Tune in and find out. On The Slippery, Scott Eldridge and Nancy Moscatiello unravel the extraordinary story of Gaurav Srivastava, a man who convinced world leaders, celebrities, and business executives that he had been recruited by the CIA as a teenager. His elaborate intelligence persona opened doors across the global oil industry—until investigators began asking difficult questions. It's a remarkable story of deception, influence, and one of the most audacious confidence schemes in recent memory. On Forever Young, Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour explore the rapidly evolving world of regenerative medicine, separating science from hype as they discuss how stem cell therapies may reshape healthcare in the years ahead. If you're interested in living healthier and longer, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Finally, in This Week in Horror, we revisit the return of Scary Movie. More than twenty years after the original became a comedy phenomenon, the franchise is back with another round of outrageous horror parody, proving that even today's most terrifying films aren't safe from a good laugh.

Stanford, Loopt, and Y Combinator. Guest Author: Keach Hagey. Altman's career accelerated at Stanford, where he dropped out to co-found Loopt, a pioneering location-tracking startup. Although Loopt achieved visibility—including a famous appearance at an Apple event alongside Steve Jobs—it was financially a disappointment, selling for parts after the 2008 crisis. Following a period of global "backpacking" and self-reflection, Altman discovered his "superpower" in investing, mentored by Peter Thiel. By 2014, he became the president of Y Combinator, overseeing massive successes like Airbnb and Stripe. Influenced by a visit to SpaceX, Altman adopted Elon Musk's "missionary" approach, viewing startups as world-changing missions rather than mere businesses. During this time, he also championed radical social concepts like Georgism and Universal Basic Income (UBI), writing extensively on how mass AI equity could eventually be shared to restructure society. 3JANUARY 1941

New to investing in real estate? In an area that has high housing prices, tough landlord laws, or little-to-no cash flow potential? We've got you covered. We're sharing 12 markets that are making money for real estate investors right now. Regardless of your strategy, we have markets for you. From long-term rentals to short-term rentals and Airbnbs, house hacking cities that will help cover your mortgage, and house flipping markets with high returns and low rehab costs. We didn't want to give you just one option to choose from, so Dave, Henry, and Ashley Kehr from the Real Estate Rookie podcast brought along three separate markets for each real estate investing strategy. From overlooked affordable suburbs with solid population growth to tourist towns that are making killer nightly rates during busy season, and even some sneaky top-tier markets that many would assume house hacking wouldn't work (but it does!). We'll walk through why we like each market, their population and job growth, average home prices and rent prices, and the strategy that would make the most sense there. You can invest in real estate in 2026; you've just got to pick the right place! See Dave, Henry, AND Ashley at BPCON2026!  In This Episode We Cover 12 top real estate investing markets in 2026 (most of which you may have never heard of) The cash flow and appreciation “hybrid” market with huge population growth  A beach town with over 18 million yearly visitors and killer short-term rental rates One underrated city where you can be all-in on a house flip for $200K (and make serious profit) The one city where Dave would move if he were starting his real estate investing all over again  We'd invest in this state…even if everyone else tells you not to  And So Much More!

The arrest of Detroit Lions defensive back Terrion Arnold proves the old axiom “money doesn't solve all problems” to be true. Arnold was charged with kidnapping and robbery stemming from an incident looking to recover minor items supposedly stolen from an Airbnb he co-owns. Arnold has denied the charges; however, he was denied bond. ➢ Subscribe to Jason's other channel https://www.youtube.com/JasonWhitlock?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockHarmony?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockBYOG?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockClips?sub_confirmation=1 ➢ Connect with Jason on Social Media:  https://x.com/JasonWhitlock  https://www.instagram.com/realjasonwhitlock/ https://www.facebook.com/jasonwhitlock ➢ Send Jason an Email FearlessBlazeShow@gmail.com ➢ Support The Blaze Visit https://TheBlaze.com.

Accredited Investors: Catalina Island deal closes soon. Join waitlist: somerscapital.com/investIn this episode, Rich sits down with Nico Molino to break down how high-income earners can use short-term rentals to dramatically reduce taxes while still building long-term wealth. Nico explains why Airbnb investing can outperform traditional real estate when done correctly, how bonus depreciation and cost segregation create massive tax savings, and the key differences between buying a property for tax benefits versus buying a property that is actually a great investment.The conversation also covers how Nico's team has analyzed hundreds of markets to identify the best Airbnb opportunities, what makes a market attractive, the importance of regulations, and the three drivers of Airbnb returns: cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits. One of the biggest takeaways is that investors should never buy a short-term rental solely for the tax write-off. The best deals are properties that generate strong cash flow, appreciate over time, and provide significant tax advantages.Connect with Rich on Instagram: @rich_somersInterested in investing with Somers Capital?

Felony charges rock Detroit's secondary The Detroit Lions woke up to a crisis. The State Attorney in Hillsborough County will file charges against cornerback Terrion Arnold in connection with a February robbery and kidnapping in Tampa. Arnold surrendered at Orient Road Jail and is scheduled for a first appearance in Hillsborough County Court tomorrow. Prosecutors will seek to keep him jailed before trial. His codefendants are already behind bars. A mugshot has been released. The case features multiple felony counts that can carry a potential life sentence. The filing lays out a detailed timeline. It includes messages from a group chat during the attack. The account describes Arnold giving directions while the incident was underway. The scope and seriousness are not in dispute. The questions now are legal, football, and organizational. What the allegations say The incident stems from a retaliation attempt tied to damage at an Airbnb. The victims in this case might not be the original targets. That distinction does not soften the legal exposure. Multiple witnesses and corroborating details appear in the materials. A pretrial detention motion is coming. A hearing date is pending. The immediate outcome will guide the team's next move and the NFL's conduct review. Even if charges are reduced or resolved, league punishment remains a real possibility. Recent conduct rulings have been significant. Eight games set a rough precedent in a separate situation, later reduced when charges changed. With multiple people involved here, any argument for leniency could be a tougher sell. How the Detroit Lions adjust on the field The Detroit Lions planned on Arnold starting. Now that plan is broken. The team could be down three of last year's four primary starting defensive backs for Week 1. The secondary is improved, but it is not yet great. DJ Reader has looked good this spring and summer in the front, but coverage stress rises without a top outside corner. Raq Yasun is the next man up for a starting role. This is also an opening for Ennis Rakestraw. Depth names surfaced as options, including Nick Whiteside and Keith Abney. None offers Arnold's projected ceiling if he had made the expected leap. The margin for error shrinks against NFL passing games. Contract, discipline, and the next 48 hours Felony charges can void guarantees, even on a rookie deal. That gives the club flexibility if it chooses to act. A standard organizational statement is likely after the initial court appearance. The legal calendar will shape the league timeline, and the league timeline will shape Detroit's roster decisions. This is a severe, fast-moving story. The Detroit Lions Podcast will track the hearing, the team's response, and how Detroit reshapes its secondary before Week 1. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #terrionarnold #arrest #lionssecondary #camsutton #ennisrakestraw Learn more about your ad choices.

Thought process   Thought process   5 title options Vacationing With Kids (Without Pretending It's a Vacation) — clear, evergreen, leads with the reframe. (My top pick — you said you'll reference this every summer, so the title should say exactly what it is and survive out of season.) Why Your Family "Vacation" Isn't Actually a Vacation — the reframe as the hook You're Probably Not Going to Enjoy It (And That's Okay) — pattern-interrupt, very you Treat the Trip Like a Business Trip — leads with the practical metaphor How to Travel With Little Kids and Still Love Yourself Full show notes below using the top pick. Title: Vacationing With Kids (Without Pretending It's a Vacation) Every summer it happens. You pack up the little kids, drive to the beach or the grandparents, and somewhere around day three in an unfamiliar Airbnb with no blackout curtains and a toddler who won't sleep, you wonder why you thought this would be fun. Sterling Jaquith has a reframe that changes the whole thing: stop calling it a vacation. In this evergreen episode you can come back to before any trip, Sterling walks through why little kids won't remember the vacation anyway, what they do remember, and the three honest questions to ask before you go. It's permission to stop chasing "relaxing" with a houseful of tired, dysregulated humans, and to plan the trip like the world's best personal assistant instead. Because the answer, through all of it, is always love. Including love for yourself. WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE: Why calling it a "vacation" is the first trap, and treating the trip like a business trip with a mission and a plan instead The honest truth that you may not enjoy it with little kids, and why that doesn't mean anything has gone wrong The three questions to ask before you go: What's my mission? What three feelings am I actually going for? How do I set myself up for those? Creating novelty on the cheap (crazy straws, Goodwill toys, stovetop popcorn, pop rocks, and the screen time you'd normally say no to) Planning something that's just for you, whether it's before, during, or after the trip Why Catholic moms living only for everyone else isn't how God designed you, and how to love yourself hard through the hard parts EPISODE TIMELINE: [00:00] – Why this is your reference episode for every future summer, holiday, and spring break [04:00] – "I don't think you can enjoy it."

Modern advertising is louder, faster, and more crowded than ever, yet so much of it feels forgettable. In an AI-saturated landscape where campaigns blur together and creativity is often watered down by committees, truly distinctive work is rare. Today's guest, Kyle Duford, associate partner at Optimism (a five-time Ad Age Small Agency of the Year), is on a mission to bring back magic, momentum, and meaning to marketing for brands like Airbnb, DoorDash, Bachan's Barbecue Sauce, and Habit Burger. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Kyle Duford reframes what optimism really is, and what it isn't. It's not blind positivity or fake happiness. Instead, Kyle defines optimism as the belief that tomorrow can be better with intentional change and hard work. He shares how Optimism uses this mindset as a strategic engine to design ideas people choose, ideas that build belief, earn attention, and turn cultural energy into growth. Rather than chasing vanity metrics, his team focuses on real business drivers: deeper customer connection, brand differentiation, and momentum that actually moves the needle. https://youtu.be/mWYj_EErXrw?si=HVlWVjQgrxBvQYWV You'll hear specific stories from campaigns for Bachan's and Habit Burger, where Optimism took “ordinary” food products and transformed them into irresistible, talk-worthy brands. Kyle explains how his team starts with a rigorous brand and competitive strategy, then chooses the right mix of executions, TV spots, YouTube shorts, outdoor, social, stunts, events, or print based on the problem they're solving, not the latest marketing fad. He also unpacks why independent agencies are critical to saving great advertising in a world dominated by holding companies and safe, committee-approved ideas.Kyle dives into the role of AI in advertising, outlining why Optimism uses AI to iterate, not ideate. Humans set the strategy and originate the ideas; AI helps rapidly explore variations, visualize directions, and speed up production, without replacing the creative leap that only people can make. He ties this into a bigger conversation about the generational divide in media consumption, from Gen X's analog-to-streaming evolution to how Gen Z and Gen Alpha navigate a fragmented, choice-rich world where there is no longer a single “monoculture.” If you're a marketer, founder, or brand leader wondering how to stand out when audiences are overwhelmed, distracted, and skeptical, this conversation will give you a powerful new lens. Kyle introduces “Optimism: A Case for the Only Idea That Has Ever Actually Worked,” a research-backed, story-driven book that shows how optimism has consistently driven breakthroughs in business, science, art, and life. If you've been feeling like your brand is stuck in the “mushy middle” of lookalike messaging and safe campaigns, Kyle's perspective on optimism, creativity, and momentum may be exactly what you need to break through. Quotes: “If you look at what makes a human, a company, a brand, anything different than all the other things like it, you start finding these little idiosyncrasies of people that are just so fucking gorgeous.” “The independent agency is still very important in advertising, and it's the independent agency who has the ability to; really form an opinion of a brand that's going to move the needle.” “Our definition, my definition is that optimism is the belief that tomorrow could be better with some change, that we can work hard together or solo, whatever the task is at hand to achieve better.” Contact Details: Explore Kyle Duford's Official Website Connect with Kyle Duford on LinkedIn Check out the Optimism Website Follow Kyle Duford on Instagram Get a Copy of Optimism: A Case for the Only Idea That Has Ever Actually Worked on Amazon

What does it mean when a seasoned CPO with experience at Disney, Apple, Airbnb, and Walmart.com walks away from the C-suite to go build products by himself? In this episode of the CPO Rising series hosted by Products That Count Resident CPO Renee Niemi, former Remix AI co-founder and CPO Kevin Swint speaks on why this moment in AI demanded that kind of move, what he learned building an agentic application in two weeks that would have taken a year and hundreds of thousands of dollars before, and why the feedback loop between domain expert and builder has collapsed in a way that changes everything. From tourist behavior in AI products to the fundamentals of stickiness that never change, Kevin brings 25 years of hard-won perspective to the most exciting moment in product history.

New York City hotels, while expensive, often are much smaller and simpler than travelers expect. While you won't spend much time in your hotel, it's important to understand what your room and hotel experience will entail in NYC.In this episode, we'll cover:Average hotel pricesTaxes & fees to be aware ofRoom size & what to expect for (the lack of) amenitiesThe Airbnb situationPro tips to maximize your NYC hotel experience1. The Price of a Bed in NYCAverage Range: $250–$400 depending on neighborhood (Times Square = highest)Budget [think hostel-style] ($115 +) vs. mid-range ($225+) vs. luxury ($500+++)Weekdays (cheaper) vs. weekends, and seasonal swings matter (Jan & Feb are often the cheapest time)2. Taxes & Fees: The Hidden CostBase rate is never what you pay — 14.75% in combined state/city taxes + $3.50/night flat feesReal-world example: one traveler's fees came to 29% of their room costEven the fees get taxed on top of each otherPro tip: always check the total before booking, not just the nightly rateSome hotels add in resort fees, mandatory daily fees for food/drink, etc.3. Room Size & What to ExpectNYC rooms average ~300 sq ft — and that includes the bathroom and closetsMicro-hotels can go as small as 60 sq ftElevator overload is real — older buildings, high occupancy, long waitsWhat you won't find: microwaves, pools, hot tubs (rare exceptions exist), very small mini fridges (or none at all)4. The Airbnb SituationLocal Law 18 (Sept 2023) essentially banned short-term rentals — listings dropped from 22,000 to under 7,000 overnightSide effect: hotel prices went up ~6–7% as a resultVisitors coming from other cities expecting Airbnb as a budget option will be caught off guard5. Tips for Doing It RightBag storage: hotels will hold your luggage for free, tip the porterSkip hotel breakfast — go get a bagel or hit a dinerPools and hot tubs exist but are the exception, not the ruleBook at least a month out for better pricingYou'll Have to Check It Out - Pig and KhaoAt Pig and Khao on the Upper West Side, their head chef Leah Cohen pays homage to her Filipino upbringing with a variety of Southeast Asian dishes and flavors.The portions, as part of their family-style meal, are MASSIVE.

On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and producer Eric dive into a surprising statistic: Meta Reels has grown into a $50 billion annual revenue machine, generating more revenue than major brands like Netflix, Nike, Spotify, Airbnb, and Coca-Cola. Their conversation explores the economics of social media platforms, content monetization, creator payouts, and how entrepreneurs can capitalize on the growing creator economy. Along the way, they compare the revenues of some of the world's biggest companies and discuss how digital content has become one of the most powerful business models in history. On this episode we talk about: How Meta Reels became a $50 billion annual revenue business Comparing the revenues of companies like Coca-Cola, Netflix, Nike, Visa, Spotify, and Airbnb The opportunities and challenges of content monetization on Facebook and Instagram Why creator-focused platforms continue to attract advertisers and investment Lessons from Airbnb's growth, changing customer experience, and business model evolution Top 3 Takeaways Attention is one of the most valuable assets in business, and platforms that capture it at scale can generate enormous revenue. Content creators are often leaving money on the table by failing to activate or optimize platform monetization programs. Building an audience creates multiple income opportunities, from ad revenue and sponsorships to long-term business growth and brand partnerships. Notable Quotes "Meta Reels by itself does more revenue than all of those other companies." "It speaks to what we always talk about, which is the personal branding and audience growth and how that relates to your ability to make money long term." "Attention is valuable, and the platforms that own attention have built some of the biggest businesses in the world."

In this episode hosts, Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS share their excitement and plans for attending the 2026 World Parkinson Congress (WPC) in Phoenix, Arizona, a unique international conference that brings together people with Parkinson's, care partners, therapists, physicians, and researchers. Drawing on their past experiences at WPC in Montreal, Portland, and Kyoto, they describe how special it is to attend this event as a full team this year, staying together in an Airbnb and connecting with colleagues and members from around the world. They highlight what makes WPC stand out from typical scientific meetings: its interdisciplinary focus, community-centered vibe, extensive wellness and exercise programming, creative projects, and direct involvement of people with Parkinson's in scientific discussions. Claire and Erin also walk through the rich scientific and wellness schedule—from plenary lectures on cutting-edge research and prevention to workshops, round tables, debate-style "controversy" sessions, and a robust wellness program featuring exercise, meditation, and caregiver support. They close by emphasizing how WPC advances both research and advocacy, and by promising a follow-up conversation after the congress to share key takeaways and lessons learned. We recorded this before heading to WPC — stay tuned for our follow-up episode with everything we learned!

A court case in Winnipeg has offered a rare glimpse into the mechanics of how human trafficking can work. And it showed that short-rental rentals, like Airbnb and Vrbo, can be used by traffickers while on the move with their victims. But some cities, like Winnipeg, are taking action. Temur Durrani is a reporter for The Globe based in Winnipeg. He explains the story of a Quebec teenager who survived being trafficked and the regulations Winnipeg has put in place to try and combat human traffickers from using short-term rentals. Questions?

It's vacation season, so our podders started specifically searching for Airbnb's with pools adorned with space eggs.  That's right, they watched Cocoon.  So put on your best matching bermuda short/shirt combo, make sure your skin suit is fully buttoned up, and of course hit the gym to get that Guttenburg Bod!  Remember, you're only as old as the cocaine/ alien life force water you're swimming in.  Wilford Brimley!!!!!!!!!

On Monday's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Brandreth Canaley, Michael Goldin, and Jamie Lane break down three platform moves that sound host-friendly on the surface but deserve a much closer look. The conversation opens with Airbnb's first fintech product — a cancel-for-any-reason feature that auto-enrolled hosts without requiring an opt-in. Hosts still get paid, but still have to scramble. From there, the team unpacks what one week of FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States data actually tells operators about pricing strategy for the knockout rounds, with RevPAR up across all host markets but occupancy down in six of nine. They close with American Express's $700 million acquisition of TheFork and why dining reservations might be the next front in the battle for the guest relationship.

In this session from DX Annual, Christopher Sanson, Product Lead, AI Developer Experience, and Madison Capps, Engineering Manager, Infrastructure at Airbnb, challenge some of the most common assumptions about AI. Is AI primarily about replacing humans? Do organizations need mandates to drive adoption? And are the productivity gains really as small as some studies suggest?Using examples from Airbnb's own AI journey, they share how the company achieved widespread adoption of agentic AI through AirChat, community enablement, and internal tooling rather than top-down mandates. They also discuss the impact AI is having on developer productivity, how non-developers are increasingly using coding tools, and how teams are rethinking product development in an AI-first world.Finally, Madison takes a deeper look at the infrastructure powering Airbnb's AI strategy, including AirChat CLI, the AirChat SDK, and AirChat Remote, along with the company's vision for asynchronous agent workflows and the next generation of AI-powered development.Where to find Christopher Sanson:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophersanson Where to find Madison Capps:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/madison-capps-66950625In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(01:37) Myth #1: AI is about replacing humans(03:22) Myth #2: You need mandates to drive AI adoption(05:21) AirChat, agentic AI, and Airbnb's adoption strategy(08:07) Myth #3: AI has little impact on productivity(09:33) Airbnb's increase in coding time and PR throughput(14:20) Myth #4: AI coding tools are just for coders(15:39) How non-developers are using coding tools(17:24) Rethinking product development in an AI-first world(20:30) Myth #5: Vibe coding isn't coding(22:16) Unsolved problems in agentic AI tooling and how Airbnb is addressing them(26:30) Airbnb's overall AI philosophy in practice(29:15) Using agentic AI to accelerate code migrations(30:18) AirChat SDK: How Airbnb enables teams to build AI-powered applications(33:17) AirChat Remote and asynchronous agent workflows(36:07) Predictions for what's nextReferenced:• ⁠Airbnb• Steve Jobs's Bicycles for the Mind • Jennifer St Pierre • Justin Reock• AI-generated merged code holds steady at ~30%• Andrej Karpathy's post on X

In this episode of Colonize the Ocean, Brendon Traxler breaks down one of the most important technical and philosophical decisions in underwater habitat design: ambient pressure vs one atmosphere habitats.Most of the industry has leaned ambient pressure for decades — especially for scientific research. But as we move beyond research stations toward underwater tourism, Airbnbs, data centers, and actual homes, the advantages of one atmosphere habitats become impossible to ignore.Brendon explains:• How pressure increases every 33 feet and why that forces mixed-gas breathing and long decompression in ambient habitats• Why ambient pressure works so well for scientific divers who need to come and go freely• The hidden downsides: helium speech, nitrogen narcosis, weeks of decompression after saturation, and why it's terrible for regular human life• How one atmosphere habitats maintain surface pressure no matter how deep you go — no decompression, normal air, normal conversations• The access challenge for 1 ATM habitats and why hybrid designs (with decompression wings) could solve it• Why ASC is firmly in the one atmosphere camp — because of the “Grandma Rule”: if grandma can't visit comfortably, it's not good enoughThis isn't just an engineering debate. It's about who gets to live in the ocean.Which approach do you think wins long-term — ambient pressure or one atmosphere? Vote in the poll and drop your thoughts in the comments!

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Copa Holdings — the Panama-based hub-and-spoke airline whose investment case now turns on two of the most debated questions in the stock today: whether Copa is a structural exception to the airline curse — protected by a geography no rival can copy and a cost base only a handful of carriers in the world can match — or whether even the best airline in the Americas eventually gets pulled into the same gravity that has destroyed value for nearly every other carrier. Some investors believe Copa is a structural exception the market consistently underprices because it's lumped in with the broader sector, with a Panama hub at the geographic center of the hemisphere that lets it serve 85 destinations using nothing but single-aisle 737s, a sub-6¢ ex-fuel cost base only Ryanair, Wizz Air, and a couple of others can match, a 99.8% completion rate that turns the "missed flight" tax hammering other carriers into one of Copa's structural cost advantages, and a 38-year CEO who has refused to expand into Europe or chase growth at any price. Join Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley as they work through whether Copa's hub-and-spoke economics are genuinely uncopiable or just holding off the gravity that has eventually captured nearly every other airline, examine what Copa's structural advantages actually look like in 2026 versus the "all airlines destroy capital" narrative the market still anchors to, and assess whether Copa Holdings deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:47) Why airlines are such a tough business to be in (00:02:49) What Buffett and other superinvestors think (00:16:05) Why Copa is different than other airlines (00:30:41) How being the best-in-class business can change the investors' outcome (00:36:37) How Copa built its moat (00:55:35) How Copa can defend its moat (01:17:25) Valuation discussion of Copa (01:19:47) Whether Copa is valued attractively (01:22:31) Whether Shawn and Daniel add CPA to the Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and producer Eric put financial knowledge to the test in a celebrity-themed edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Through a mix of pop culture, entrepreneurship, investing, and business trivia, the conversation explores how celebrities have built massive fortunes beyond their original careers. From billion-dollar brand exits to strategic investments in companies like Facebook, Uber, and Airbnb, this episode highlights the power of ownership, equity, and personal branding in wealth creation. On this episode we talk about: Celebrity entrepreneurs who built wealth through business acquisitions and exits How stars like Ryan Reynolds, Rihanna, George Foreman, and Jessica Alba leveraged their brands The role of equity ownership in creating long-term wealth Famous investment wins involving Facebook, Uber, Airbnb, and other major companies Why personal branding can open doors to lucrative business opportunities Top 3 Takeaways Building equity in businesses often creates significantly more wealth than earning income from a primary career alone. Strong personal brands can be leveraged into successful products, partnerships, and investment opportunities. Early-stage investing in high-growth companies can generate life-changing returns when paired with patience and good judgment. Notable Quotes "Again, it speaks to what we always talk about, which is the personal branding and audience growth and how that relates to your ability to make money long term." "George Foreman made more money endorsing an indoor grill than he did from boxing." "It's easier to solve the rest of your problems when you got money in the bank."

In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show Unscripted, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner are back with another wild mix of real life, real estate problems, business decisions, and the kind of stories that make you question why anyone owns boats, pools, Airbnbs, or commercial buildings.Owen kicks things off with an update on his missing wedding ring, which somehow ended up stuck inside a baseball glove. From there, the conversation turns into boat ownership regret, pool problems, septic tank headaches, and the strange process of trying to figure out if a future pool can even fit in the backyard.Ted shares what is happening during College World Series week with his Airbnb, including slower bookings, price cuts, and a surprise sidewalk replacement that started while guests were staying at the house. Not exactly the five-star welcome basket.The guys also dig into a real commercial real estate decision involving an office building, a vacant floor, a possible state tenant, tenant improvements, and whether taking a lower rent number makes sense when the space could otherwise sit empty for years.They also talk about business coaching, motivation, childhood money lessons, material things, development projects, and what it feels like when years of tough deals finally start showing progress.This one has everything: wedding rings, pools, septic systems, Airbnb chaos, office leasing, business mindset, and enough side stories to prove once again that “unscripted” is not just a cute name.Listen to the full episode now and make sure to subscribe to The Kash and Dash Show on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts so you don't miss the next one.You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at www.tedkaasch.com Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owen.dashner Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/odawg2424/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - https://magicdoor.com/reia/...

Episode 177 of the Award Travel 101 podcast featured Angie Sparks and Cameron Laufer discussing a variety of points-and-miles developments, along with a relatable highlight post from member Melissa about unexpectedly helping a 20-year-old replace a totaled car. While everyone was safe, the experience led to another large purchase charged to a Capital One card, adding to a family history that includes eight vehicle purchases since 2020. The hosts also covered several notable news items, including the end of the Chase Sapphire Reserve's 150,000-point welcome offer, a new 200,000-point bonus on the Sapphire Reserve Business card, elevated 100,000-point offers on the Ink Cash and Ink Unlimited cards, a 30% Chase-to-Virgin transfer bonus, and the announcement that Philippine Airlines will join Oneworld next year. They also discussed reports that American Express may soon restrict Resy dining credits to restaurants specifically marked as eligible within the Resy app.The main topic focused on the refreshed Chase Sapphire Preferred card. New benefits include 3x points on gas and EV charging, 3x points on vacation rentals through brands such as Airbnb and Vrbo, a Global Entry/TSA PreCheck/NEXUS credit every four years, a complimentary year of Apple TV+, an increased annual hotel credit, and enhanced travel protections, all while maintaining the $95 annual fee. However, the biggest change for award travelers is the reduced Hyatt transfer ratio for Sapphire Preferred cardholders, moving from 1:1 to 4:3. Angie and Cameron explored the implications, noting that while Hyatt loyalists may find the change disappointing, the card still offers strong value for beginners and those who primarily use Ultimate Rewards with other transfer partners. They also discussed alternatives such as upgrading to the Sapphire Reserve, utilizing Bilt points for Hyatt transfers, or making a speculative transfer of Ultimate Rewards points to Hyatt before the new ratio takes effect.The episode wrapped up with personal updates and strategy discussions. Angie shared that ChatGPT helped her compare transportation options and ultimately choose a Swiss Rail Pass for an upcoming trip, while also finalizing plans for Morocco. Cameron reviewed several flight options for Greece, weighing the value of different award redemptions and routing choices. The hosts concluded with a practical travel tip: always place your wallet, keys, purse, shoes, and other essentials in the same spot each night while traveling. A recent hotel fire experienced by friends reinforced how valuable this simple habit can be when an emergency requires a quick evacuation.Episode Links:Chase Ink Business Cards New OfferChase Sapphire Reserve Biz New OfferChase Sapphire Preferred RefreshPhilippine Airlines Joins OneworldAmex Resy ChangesChase to Virgin Transfer BonusWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Late Summer 2026 Meetup in Milwaukee now. award.travel/mke2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Copa Holdings — the Panama-based hub-and-spoke airline whose investment case now turns on two of the most debated questions in the stock today: whether Copa is a structural exception to the airline curse — protected by a geography no rival can copy and a cost base only a handful of carriers in the world can match — or whether even the best airline in the Americas eventually gets pulled into the same gravity that has destroyed value for nearly every other carrier. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:01:35) Why airlines are such a tough business to be in (00:03:55) What Buffett and other superinvestors think (00:16:47) Why Copa is different than other airlines (00:35:58) How being the best-in-class business can change the investors' outcome (00:38:38) How Copa built its moat (01:01:14) How Copa can defend its moat (01:22:37) Valuation discussion of Copa (01:24:36) Whether Copa is valued attractively (01:27:30) Whether Shawn and Daniel add CPA to the Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Most Airbnb hosts are leaving money on the table without realizing it.In this episode, Sarah and Annette break down four common guest requests that hotels routinely charge for but short-term rental hosts often provide for free. From early check-in and late checkout to pool heat, grocery stocking, and celebration setups, these services take time, coordination, and operational effort.The hosts share real examples from clients who turned these requests into meaningful revenue streams, including one host who added thousands of dollars per month simply by charging for services guests were already expecting to pay for.If you've ever felt guilty charging for extras, this episode will help you rethink the difference between hospitality and uncompensated labor.In this episode, you'll learn:Why early check-in and late checkout should be treated as premium servicesHow to price pool heat without creating guest confusionWhat hotels charge for concierge-style amenity setupsHow to structure grocery stocking and fridge-fill servicesThe mindset shift every host needs to stop giving away valuable servicesResources Mentioned: Apply for Strategic Host!

What happens when two people with 26 years and 2,500+ flips under their belt discover co-living? For Brian and Gina Kingdeski, it meant ditching a struggling Arizona Airbnb portfolio and going all-in on building co-living homes from the ground up.In this episode, Brian and Gina explain why they made the switch, how they fill rooms faster than almost anyone in the space (8 rooms in under two weeks, often before closing), and the construction details that separate a beautiful, high-performing co-living home from a cold, chopped-up "dorm." They get into their 8-bedroom minimum, the ~$7,500/month gross on a converted 1,300 sq ft house, $1–2K/month cash flow per property, and how years of work with their lender let them become their own comps and skip the appraisal headaches most operators run into.You'll also hear the stuff nobody talks about: sewer scopes, three-inch vs. four-inch pipe, why en suites are worth it, using AI to stage bedrooms, and how their faith shapes both how they build and who they rent to.What we cover:Airbnb vs. co-living: scalability, stress, and turnover costsWhat it really costs to convert a short-term rentalThe 8-bed, 3-bath formula and stabilization mathFloor plans that flow vs. hotel-style buildsSolving lender and appraisal problems on high-bedroom-count homesA memorable housemate story and the lesson in compassion behind itConnect with Brian & Gina:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@brianandginakingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gina-kingdeski-48952511b/Website: https://trinitydesignconstruction.com/Here are some of Brian and Gina's latest projects on Padsplit website. https://www.padsplit.com/rooms-for-rent/listing/33417?utm_source=copylink&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=property_share&utm_content=33417&ref=1022554https://www.padsplit.com/rooms-for-rent/listing/31947?utm_source=copylink&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=property_share&utm_content=31947&ref=322872https://www.padsplit.com/rooms-for-rent/listing/32891?utm_source=copylink&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=property_share&utm_content=32891&ref=322872ChatGPT Prompt: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hpy0-uFm49KIX8kz0mkIWYl4n673EjQn/view?usp=sharingConnect with the hosts: Miller: https://www.instagram.com/millermcswain/ Craig: https://www.instagram.com/craigcurelop/Join The Co-Living Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/thecolivingcommunityEnjoyed the episode?

Welcome back to another powerful episode! In this session, host Scott Carson breaks down the massive wave of distressed real estate note inventory hitting the market right now—especially across the Lone Star State. If you've been feeling stuck, chasing over-hyped multifamily deals, or getting burned by short-term rental market shifts, it's time to get razor-focused on what actually drives true cash flow. From upcoming Texas shadow inventory roadshows to breaking past the mental blocks of raising capital, Scott shares the exact steps you need to take action, leverage your network, and dominate the note space this summer. Detailed Topics Covered in this Episode: Texas Distressed Asset Updates: Scott discusses managing a pool of 54 notes in Texas, including a mix of performing assets, nonperforming assets, reverse mortgages going to foreclosure, and REOs spanning DFW, Houston, San Antonio, and the Valley. The Condensed 2-Day Note Class: Learn about the recent experiment of condensing the traditional 3-day virtual note buying workshop into a packed 2-day Saturday and Sunday schedule running from 9 AM to 7 PM, yielding highly positive feedback. Behind-the-Scenes Rehab Insights: Get a status update on a Georgetown, Texas deal entering its final phases, highlighting rising labor costs compared to last year and how handling minor cosmetic fixes yourself can protect your profit margins. The Power of Student Success: Celebrating coaching student Andy Espinero, who is closing his first deal from the Oklahoma roadshow with a projected minimum profit margin of $40,000 to $50,000. Upcoming Shadow Inventory Roadshows: Details on a planned physical roadshow through key Texas markets (Houston, San Antonio, DFW, Austin, and the Valley) to drive by, walk, and analyze 6 to 15 assets per market, spanning performing, nonperforming, REOs, and owner-financed notes. The Critical Importance of Niche Focus: Why Scott strictly targets institutional first liens instead of diversifying into risky multifamily syndications or volatile Airbnb short-term rentals. Overcoming the Fear of Raising Capital: A direct wake-up call to stop acting like a "secret agent," step out of your comfort zone, get away from relying solely on AI websites or social media "dumpster fires," and start networking live at local REIA clubs. First Liens vs. Second Liens & Proper Servicing: Clarifying misconceptions around legal risks in bankruptcy courts, emphasizing that using licensed servicing companies and attorneys keeps investors safe. Stop sitting on the sidelines letting fear—False Evidence Appearing Real—hold you back from taking action. The market is constantly moving, and you need to be learning from someone actively closing deals in today's environment. Whether you want to participate passively with your IRA or step up as an active investor to build long-term cash flow, reach out to Scott directly.
