Are you worried that partnering with family in real estate will strain your relationships? In this episode, I sit down with Annchen Knodt, a neuroscience researcher who joined my STR Accelerator program during its very first beta launch. Annchen's story is a powerful example of how building an Airbnb business with family can work—even when things get messy. She opens up about the reality of partnering with her parents: the disagreements that got heated, what it felt like to be outvoted, and the boundaries they created to protect family dinners from turning into business meetings. Annchen also faced another challenge—having a spouse who wasn't sold on the time and energy she was putting into real estate investing. She shares the loneliness of being the only one in her circle excited about Airbnb and short-term rentals, and how finding a community of like-minded women gave her the courage to keep moving forward. From waking up early to analyze deals before heading into the lab, to answering Airbnb guest messages between experiments, Annchen's dedication shows what's possible when you refuse to let excuses hold you back. She even reveals the breakthrough moment she realized she was much closer to financial freedom than she thought. Her journey proves that success in Airbnb and real estate isn't always about scaling fast or building an empire—it's about creating a business that supports the life you truly want. With the right systems, boundaries, and support, both family and business can thrive side by side. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS: [01:06] A short introduction about our guest Annchen Knodt and what she does outside the short-term rental space [05:38] Annchen shares how she overcame the common fear of partnerships especially when working with her parents [08:59] Annchen recounts the process of deciding to sell one of the long-term properties she co-owned with her parents in Texas [11:11] How a major challenge tested Annchen's family partnership and revealed the importance of balancing values with business decisions [14:45] Annchen shares how blending business with family creates harmony rather than conflict [17:30] Annchen opens up about the challenges of pursuing real estate when her spouse shows little interest and how she found strength through community and mindset  [21:44] How accountability pods provided the structure, support, and community Annchen needed to set goals, stay consistent, and feel less alone in her real estate journey [26:20] How redefining success beyond rapid portfolio growth allowed Annchen to embrace financial independence more holistically and prioritize family, passive investing, and a fuller life  [30:05] Annchen shares how embracing pivots and diversification clarified her dream life, strengthened harmony at home, and renewed her joy in the process [35:59] How finding and building community has been essential for overcoming isolation in real estate investing and hosting [38:02] The lightning round  Golden Nuggets: “Life is way too short not to enjoy what you're doing.” “If you really want to achieve something that's beyond your comfort zone, that's pushing the boundaries of what you've done in the past.” “At the end of the day, living your best life is knowing what you want.” “Look for a coaching program. Join a coaching program. It's always worth the investment. Talk to other people who are already in the program to get some feedback. From them, you can learn pretty quickly whether it's worth the investment.” “Live below your means, something that I had been taught growing up, basically, but it's what's put me in the position, to be able to invest fairly early in life, and then to be able to achieve financial independence fairly early in life.” Enjoyed the show?

Tuesday Headlines: Our prescriptions are set to get a little cheaper, Aldi vegetable suppliers accused of being part of a price-fixing cartel, some of the world’s most powerful leaders are meeting in China, the Taliban government in Afghanistan is calling for international help after a magnitude 6.0 earthquake, and two-thirds of young drivers are scared to refuel their cars. Deep Dive: Short-stay rentals like Airbnb and Stayz could be costing Australian taxpayers up to $556 million a year - not through booking fees, but tax breaks. A new report from housing advocacy group Everybody’s Home revealed that nearly 170,000 short-term rentals across the country are linked to huge losses in tax revenue through negative gearing. In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith speaks with Everybody’s Home spokesperson Maiy Azize about the true cost of short-stay rentals and whether tighter regulation could improve housing affordability.

We got there at last. If you are a Golden Visa holder, that's a person who puts $5-10 million into the country, you can now buy a house. The idea that we expected you to put that sort of money into a country and then rent was, and is, absurd. Not to get into the weeds too deeply, but the Golden Visa is different to the 183 days rule. The Golden Visa means you can invest but not be here the 183 days. But it now means you do qualify for a $5m+ home. None of this is complex. None of this needed to be as hard as it has turned out to be. You will note from Winston Peter's comments yesterday he has preserved his ongoing dislike for so-called foreigners coming here and snapping up the countryside and locking the rest of us out of the market, none of which happened of course, but the xenophobic streak runs deep in that party. But if you go back to National's original idea of $2m, a lot of water has gone under the bridge. A lot of banging of heads has happened and some people have had to be dragged kicking and screaming to what I would've thought was a fairly obvious finish line. The weird thing for me about Peters is this is the same bloke who is out in the world pleading with said world to come and invest. He's saying come and do business, we are open. He is trying on one hand to desperately rectify the damage of the Labour Government Covid era, while at the same time doing the old New Zealand First "cake and eat it too" trick. "Please come, please bring your money but, oh, given you're a foreigner you can use Airbnb". It's nonsense. At $5m it changes little for you and me. It's a tiny portion of homes. Its two million pounds and it's three million US dollars. For some global citizens it's pocket change. But it all helps, and man do we need help. The worry is the difficulty in getting here. Easy, obvious decisions should not be hard. They should be quick and slick. But we got there. It all helps. It was a good day for NZ Inc. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

L'été touche à sa fin en France et certaines villes assaillies durant deux mois par les touristes retrouvent leur calme habituel. Un peu trop peut-être. En cause : le nombre de résidences secondaires qui restent vides une grande partie de l'année. Certaines villes cherchent à limiter ce phénomène. La loi Echaniz-Le Meur, votée l'an dernier pour « réguler les locations saisonnières », leur permet d'interdire la construction de nouvelles maisons de vacances sous certaines conditions. Exemple en Bretagne, dans l'ouest de la France, à Saint-Malo et à Cancale, où la mairie vient de voter cette interdiction. Le petit train traverse la foule sur les pavés de Saint-Malo, vers la plage. Dans la vieille ville, face à la Manche, 30 % des logements ont été proposés sur des sites comme Airbnb. Des lieux vides en dehors des vacances. « Sur le front de mer, voir tous les volets fermés pendant de longs mois, c'est toujours un petit peu désolant », regrette Olivier, retraité.  Au fil des ans, il a vu la demande de maisons de vacances faire grimper les prix d'achat des appartements : « Il faut être quasiment retraité pour avoir les moyens de venir se loger à Saint-Malo et on sera pas forcément dans la première partie de la ville. » Un prix trop cher pour les jeunes actifs. Certains, pour acheter, s'éloignent de la ville ou la quittent. Une situation à laquelle les élus locaux ne veulent pas se résigner. Le maire de Saint-Malo Gilles Lurton compte faire voter, en novembre, l'interdiction de construire des résidences secondaires dans plusieurs zones de sa commune. En tout, il veut faire sortir de terre 3 000 nouvelles habitations, et en réserver les deux tiers à des personnes qui veulent y vivre à l'année. « En résidence secondaire, nous sommes passés d'un taux de 21 % en 2021 à un taux de 26 % en 2025. Et ça, c'est une croissance qu'il faut qu'on arrive à endiguer. J'ai un chef d'entreprise qui veut rapatrier 200 salariés à Saint-Malo. Aujourd'hui, il est totalement incapable de les loger. Donc, il va falloir qu'on trouve les solutions », explique le maire. À lire aussiAirbnb face aux grandes villes, vers la fin des locations touristiques incontrôlées? Pour lui, l'aide de l'État est vitale, avant que la situation ne s'aggrave : « Ce n'est pas Saint-Malo, c'est le pays tout entier qui est concerné. Les politiques de logement, à mon avis, ont été abandonnées par l'État, pour des raisons de moyens, et vraiment, on va sur une crise à mon avis qui est beaucoup plus importante que celle qu'on connaît actuellement. » C'est le cas de Cancale, à 15 kilomètres, où la crise du logement impacte les commerçants. Mimia Peard tient depuis 35 ans le restaurant « À Contre Courant ». « Le premier appartement qui se libère, c'est 20, 30 personnes qui sont devant la porte pour attendre pour visiter l'appartement. Donc forcément, le propriétaire, il peut augmenter les tarifs. Pour pouvoir trouver du personnel compétent, il nous faut du logement, parce qu'ils ne peuvent pas faire un essai en prenant un appartement pour trois mois. » Ici, la part des résidences secondaires est de 41 %. Le maire vient de faire voter l'interdiction d'en construire de nouvelles.  Une solution efficace, mais tardive et incomplète, selon le journaliste Benjamin Keltz. Après deux ans d'enquête, il a écrit à ce sujet le livre Bretagne secondaire. « Maintenant, il faut permettre aussi une mixité dans le profil des habitants à l'année. La plupart des nouveaux habitants aujourd'hui sur les littoraux, cela reste des retraités. Une des problématiques, c'est qu'ils vieillissent, donc on va avoir une bombe sociale possiblement en puissance : c'est que si on a des gens qui viennent vieillir sur les littoraux, mais qu'on n'a pas les petites mains pour pouvoir les accompagner dans leur vieillissement, ça va créer des tensions qui vont être énormes à l'avenir », analyse Benjamin Keltz.  Il propose donc d'autres leviers d'actions, comme le viager public : une mairie rachète progressivement un logement. Une fois le vendeur décédé, la mairie peut ensuite revendre le bien, en exigeant qu'il devienne une résidence principale.

Shawn O'Malley and Daniel Mahncke break down Ferrari (ticker: RACE), a company whose stock is arguably just as impressive as its high-performance and ultra-luxury vehicles. By global automotive standards, Ferrari hardly has any sales volumes, selling about 14,000 cars a year, yet these vehicles come with such premium price tags that the company can reasonably command a $90 billion market valuation still. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 – Intro 09:27 - Why Ferrari obsesses over keeping supply below demand. 11:45 - Why Ferrari is more like Hérmes than Porsche. 16:27 - Ferrari's response to the hybrid and EV movements. 30:35 - What makes Ferrari special amongst even other ultra-luxury vehicle makers. 33:53 - What it actually takes to buy a Ferrari, and how Ferrari chooses its customers. 42:40 - How Ferrari has created a long-term ownership culture amongst its clients, similar to the mindset among shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway. 48:05 - How to think about modeling RACE's intrinsic value. 57:45 - The creative ways Ferrari has leveraged its IP to sell cars at higher and higher prices. 01:04:28 - Whether Shawn and Daniel add RACE to their Intrinsic Value Portfolio. *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Here's the thing. Most enterprise AI talk today starts with chatbots and ends with glossy demos. Meanwhile, the data that actually runs a business lives in rows, columns, and time stamps. That gap is where my conversation with Vanja Josifovski, CEO of Kuma.ai, really comes alive. Vanja has spent two and a half decades helping companies turn data into decisions, from research roles at Yahoo and Google to steering product and engineering at Pinterest through its IPO and later leading Airbnb Homes. He's now building Kuma.ai to answer an old question with a new approach: how do you get accurate, production-grade predictions from relational data without spending months crafting a bespoke model for each use case? Vanja explains why structured business data has been underserved for years. Images and text behave nicely compared to the messy reality of multiple tables, mixed data types, and event histories. Traditional teams anticipate a prediction need, then kick off a long feature engineering and modeling process. Kuma's Relational Foundation Model, or RFM, flips that script. Pre-trained on a large mix of public and synthetic data warehouses, it delivers task-agnostic, zero-shot predictions for problems like churn and fraud. That means you can ask the model questions directly of your data and get useful answers fast, then fine-tune for another 15 to 20 percent uplift when you're ready to squeeze more from your full dataset. What stood out for me is how Kuma removes the grind of manual feature creation. Vanja draws a clear parallel to computer vision's shift years ago, when teams stopped handcrafting edge detectors and started learning from raw pixels. By learning directly from raw tables, Kuma taps the entirety of the data rather than a bundle of human-crafted summaries. The payoff shows up in the numbers customers care about, with double-digit improvements against mature, well-defended baselines and the kind of time savings that change roadmaps. One customer built sixty models in two weeks, a job that would typically span a year or more. We also explore how this fits with the LLM moment. Vanja doesn't position RFM as a replacement for language models. He frames it as a complement that fills an accuracy gap on tabular data where LLMs often drift. Think of RFM as part of an agentic toolbox: when an agent needs a reliable prediction from enterprise data, it can call Kuma instead of generating code, training a fresh model, or bluffing an answer. That design extends to the realities of production as well. Kuma's fine-tuning and serving stack is built for high-QPS environments, the kind you see in recommendations and ad tech, where cost and latency matter. The training story is another thread you'll hear in this episode. The team began with public datasets, then leaned into synthetic data to cover scenarios that are hard to source in the wild. Synthetic generation gives them better control over distribution shifts and edge cases, which speeds iteration and makes the foundation model more broadly capable upon arrival. If you care about measurable outcomes, this episode shows why CFOs pay attention when RFM lands. Vanja shares examples where a 20 to 30 percent lift translates into hundreds of thousands of additional monthly active users and direct revenue impact. That kind of improvement isn't theory. It's the difference between a model that nudges a metric and a model that moves it. By the end, you'll have a clear picture of what Kuma.ai is building, why relational data warrants its own foundation model, and how enterprises can move from wishful thinking to practical wins. Curious to try it yourself? Vanja also points to a sandbox where teams can load data and ask predictive questions within a notebook, then compare results against in-house models. If your AI plans keep stalling on tabular reality, this conversation offers a way forward that's fast, accurate, and designed for the systems you already run.

Here's a fun one with a hard stop at the end. We kick things off recapping the 50-Mile March for Veterans—166 of us trekking from Lincoln to Omaha through the night. We talk prep, mindset, and why this year's trail change saved our feet, plus the little systems that make a big difference (compression socks, Salty Britches, electrolytes, and elevating at every stop). There's a powerful moment about a veteran who completed the whole thing in a wheelchair—one of those reminders that the body follows the mind when the cause is bigger than you.From there we shift into community: quarterly Savage retreats (small, intimate, one expert, one big Airbnb) and ideas for an obstacle-race edition. We also give you a behind-the-scenes update on our September show—venue, flow, and a stacked competitor swag bag that genuinely overdelivers. Think full-size Performance Gains Peaceful Dreams, Redmond Re-Lyte Immunity and Energy, Keto Brains samples, a full Keto Brick, premium shirt and bottle, plus a few surprise adds. The goal: treat competitors like royalty and set a new standard for show-day experience.On the product front, we launched Carnivore Cake Pop and Carnivore Primal Fudge at the same time (finally!) and talk through a small tweak to the Cake Pop tallow rendering on batches dated Aug 19–21. Same macros, slightly firmer, extra clean mouthfeel—honestly awesome straight from the fridge. With cooler weather rolling in, we're also past the worst of summer melt drama; the new packaging keeps things tidy if a brick does soften in transit.We round it out with trail talk from Devil's Den, situational awareness, why carrying yourself with confidence matters, and a little father-son jiu-jitsu daydreaming. Heads up: the episode ends abruptly due to a technical hiccup, but we'll pick up the thread next week.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

Vietnam and South Korea have "visa-easing tricks up their sleeves" as China's October Golden Week nears. And, with two-thirds of 2025 completed, attentions are turning to the peak end-of-year travel season across Asia. That's the backdrop for a frenetic month of travel activity region-wide in August. For our regular monthly round-up, Gary and Hannah travel around ASEAN with stopovers in Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, plus China and South Korea. Along the way, we discuss Vietnam's new 2025 arrivals target, plus Airbnb's big numbers to argue its economic value across APAC markets. Kuala Lumpur talks airport terminal inter-linkage and Thai Vietjet announces ambitious expansion plans, while the financial costs of the Thailand-Cambodia weigh heavily in both countries. Finally, could senior tour guides in the Philippines herald a new era of engaging mature tourism professionals to service travellers from ageing source markets? .

Sound Transit's expansion plan now up to $35 billion / ICE enforcement could be to blame for construction worker shortage / We debate AirBnBs versus hotels // Luke Deucy with an update on the Travis Decker case / AGREE TO DISAGREE: Do you correct misinformation posts in the group chat? // WE HEAR YOU! and WORDS TO LIVE BY

Airbnb will introduce a single-fee payment system in October, shifting service charges from guests to property managers, who will now pay 14–16% per booking, though the company says overall costs remain unchanged. Meanwhile, employers such as Positive Planet and Climate Perks are offering extra vacation days to staff who opt for lower-carbon travel methods like trains over flights, part of a growing “slow travel” movement. Finally, Boom Supersonic plans to launch three-hour New York–London flights by 2029 with its Overture aircraft, aiming for business-class travelers with $3,500 round-trip fares and new engine technology to replace the Concorde's outdated design.

This episode details a comprehensive discussion Brendon had regarding the design, cost, and initial marketing strategies for "Atlantis Sea Colony," a proposed business focused on manned underwater habitats. These habitats, envisioned as underwater Airbnb-style accommodations for scuba divers and adventure seekers, are designed for shallow, inland lake environments to simplify regulations and control. The conversation thoroughly addresses engineering challenges like buoyancy and modularity, proposing a detachable ballast system and an integrated "moon pool" entrance. The estimated cost for each unit, including redundant life support systems and a 25% buffer for unforeseen expenses, is projected at approximately $1.1 million, with marketing efforts primarily targeting the scuba community.#AtlantisSeaColony #UnderwaterHabitat #ScubaDiving #AdventureTravel #UnderwaterAirbnb #MarineEngineering #BuoyancyDesign #ModularHabitat #MoonPool #ScubaCommunity #UnderwaterLiving #AquaticAdventure #SubmergedAccommodation #InlandLake #TravelInnovation http://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.patreon.com/atlantisseacolonyhttps://discord.gg/jp5aSSkfNS

In this episode of the STR Data Lab, host Jamie Lane, Chief Economist at AirDNA, interviews Will Risbourg, owner of Two Casitas, a vacation rental company in Santa Fe. Two Casitas, founded in 1998, is a family business that started with two guesthouses and has grown to over 100 listings, maintaining a 4.93 rating with thousands of reviews. Will discusses the company's history, their focus on customer service, and their early adoption of online short-term rentals before platforms like Airbnb became popular. He attributes their success to proactive guest communication and a strong partnership with Estela's Cleaning Services, stressing the importance of quality cleaners in maintaining high standards. The company navigates challenges such as older property maintenance, local regulatory issues, and economic fluctuations. Despite these challenges, Two Casitas has achieved organic growth through their dedication to providing exceptional guest experiences, which in turn attracts new homeowners to their portfolio. Will also explains the company's cautious approach to expansion, considering the unique advantages Santa Fe offers, such as less economic sensitivity and compact geography, making it a favorable market for short-term rentals. Additionally, they utilize tools like Breezeway for guest communication and Beyond for dynamic pricing. Throughout the interview, Will emphasizes that true dedication to quality service is vital for sustainable growth in the vacation rental industry.You don't want to miss this episode!~~~~Signup for AirDNA for FREE

The "kill zone" refers to the space near a tech giant's core business where start-ups risk being copied or crushed simply for getting too close. But what if survival were possible?In this episode, Associate Professor of Strategy Michaël Bikard walks us through a case that begins with a promising partnership between Airbnb and Sofar Sounds, but ends with the two companies going head to head.London-based start-up Sofar Sounds built its brand on intimate secret gigs in living rooms and other low-key spaces around the world. “It's all about human offline connections through music, bringing together people in a very intimate setting,” said Bikard. “There is some fairy dust there.” A partnership with Airbnb seemed like a perfect match. Airbnb would gain some of Sofar Sounds' cool factor. Sofar Sounds could scale through Airbnb's global reach. But the alliance didn't last.A few months later, Airbnb came up with their own version of Sofar Sounds, Airbnb Concerts. It looked like the classic tech “kill zone” scenario. “At the time… it felt like they [Sofar Sounds] were gonna be eaten alive, frankly,” said Bikard. “And the interesting thing is that exactly the opposite happened.”

Episode Summary:Welcome back! Today I sit down with Nick Hancock—better known online as the mattress guy—to talk about what it means to own your lane and go all in. Nick's story is wild: from getting fired from a 9–5 to stepping into his family's decades-old mattress business, he's now running his own shop and using social media to disrupt an industry that hasn't changed much in years. We talk about imposter syndrome, building a family legacy, and how he's turning personal brand + transparency into six-figure deals with hotels and Airbnbs. Nick proves that sometimes the “unsexy” businesses are the ones with the biggest opportunity.Key Highlights:- Family Legacy: Nick's dad started in the mattress business 30 years ago, and now the Hancock name carries weight in the industry.- Imposter Syndrome Breakthrough: For years Nick questioned if he was just riding his dad's coattails—until he went all-in and owned his role.- Margins & Models: From consumer sales to Airbnbs to hotels, Nick breaks down how the economics of mattresses really work (and why people overpay).- Power of Personal Brand: By showing up authentically on Twitter, Nick's landed major clients, hotel contracts, and nonstop leads—all without ad spend.- Transparency Wins: Customers choose him not just for price (savings of thousands per order) but because they trust him.- Bigger Vision: The mattress business is just the start—Nick's building something bigger and using today's wins to fuel tomorrow's vision.Final Thoughts:This episode is a reminder that you don't have to chase the trendy thing—sometimes the gold is hiding in plain sight. If you own your story, build trust, and put yourself out there, you can turn any industry into an opportunity.

Would you like to inherit the kingdom of God? Just say, "Yes." Brahmā says, there's one technique, and that is whatever happens to you in this world—and the same kinds of things happen to all of us, understand that this is the mercy of God, because this world is not for enjoyment. It's an Airbnb, it's an Uber. You don't own it. You don't get to keep it. You don't get to stay. So why are we here? It's a classroom. We're meant to learn something. And if you accept that God's creation is perfect, and the way that He interacts with His devotees is for their ultimate good, and you accept that in your life, and you tolerate whatever miseries come as the special gift of God to purify you of your last vestiges of attachment to the material world, he said, then you inherit the kingdom of God ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #prabhupadapicks #backtogodhead #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

What does it take to manage 420 apartments and create a million memorable moments? On this episode, host Dan Ryan sits down with Sebastián Torres-Calderón, the CEO of Stay U-nique, an award-winning short-term rental company in Spain. Sebastián shares his journey from customer journey intern to CEO and reveals how implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) helped his company not only survive the chaos of COVID but quadruple in size. The conversation dives deep into how Stay U-nique uses data and technology to create a frictionless guest experience, the challenges of a rapidly evolving industry, and the political headwinds facing the short-term rental market. Sebastián offers a unique perspective on the debate between prohibition and regulation and provides a powerful case for why collaboration between the private and public sectors is the key to solving housing inventory issues.Takeaways: Track key metrics (KPIs) across all departments, not just leadership, to identify and address recurring issues. Use data to drive improvements in guest experience, operations, and communication.Use frameworks such as the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to set clear goals, break them into manageable projects (“rocks”), and review progress regularly.

With kids at school, they seem to bring home every sniffle and sneeze imaginable—and I've accepted that's just part of parenting.What I don't accept anymore? The frantic 11 p.m pharmacy runs - when everyone's already miserable and all we have is a half-used bottle of who-knows-what from who-knows-when in the pantry. Now, I make sure to stock up **ahead of time. And I always look for Mommy's Bliss: They've been making safe, gentle wellness solutions, like their Organic Baby and Kids' cough syrups, for more than 25 years. That means an ingredient list you can actually understand: no high fructose corn syrup, no dyes, no artificial sweeteners, and free from the top nine allergens. Their Pain & Fever medicine is also a staple—it's the first-ever Clean Label Project certified acetaminophen - and safe for infants.Find Mommy's Bliss in-store and online at major retailers. Your future self will thank you.There's always a moment - maybe two weeks into the school year - where I stop and think: “Wait, wasn't summer just five minutes ago?”Suddenly, we're back in the rush of packing lunches, signing permission slips, and struggling to find a pair of matching socks every morning. That's why I've started looking ahead to fall breaks now - before the long-weekend creeps up on me and feels less like a break, and more like being stuck at home for three days with three kids!You know how people say they “need a vacation from their vacation”? I never got it. Then I experienced summer break as a parent.Summer parenting can feel like a full-time job - so by the time back-to-school rolls around, I find myself wondering: “Okay, when's the real break happening?” Because honestly, the most enjoyable trips we've taken as a family tend to happen during long weekends and fall breaks - no pressure for picture-perfect moments, no meltdowns from the heat, and no built-up tension after weeks of constant togetherness.My go-to for these short and sweet trips? Booking an Airbnb: There's space for everyone to spread out, a kitchen for easy meals, and separate bedrooms that let the grown-ups stay up after the kids go down.But you know what's even better? While you're away, you can list your own home on Airbnb, too! Hosting on Airbnb is simple, flexible, and gives you a little extra income to put towards your own trip (or those mounting back-to-school costs). Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com/host.The back-to-school season is a lot, and moments like this are tough. That's why I'm so excited to share that I teamed up with Chomps for a "Carpool Q&A," where I answered common questions from parents, like: What do I do when my kids fight constantly in the car? How can I help ease separation anxiety at drop off? And, what's the one song that's guaranteed to brighten the mood in my car? (I shared a personal favorite, and trust me, it's a good one....)Because let's be honest - car chaos is real. And when you add a hungry kid to the mix? Forget it. Chomps has got you covered on the snacks: Their meat sticks are easy to stash in backpacks or glove compartments and are a good source of protein, so you've got one less thing to stress about mid-commute. And Good Inside has you covered on everything else.To watch the full video, go togoodinside.com/chompsGood Inside Members, love the podcast and want to keep the conversation going?

She grew up in a Utah home that, on paper, had no reason to be haunted—no tragic deaths, no ancient burial ground, not even a murdery crawl space. But ghosts don't always need a good backstory. From mystery footsteps to invisible visitors opening doors, and that one time someone took her picture while she was sleeping, it seemed that Christina's house had all the makings of a paranormal Airbnb. Even her no-nonsense dad eventually admitted something weird was going on. Is it just a ghost with boundary issues—or something worse?  If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!
