Send us Fan MailMost people who start voice over are gone within a year, and usually it isn't because they can't do it. In this episode I go through the four things that make talented people quit and what the ones who stay do differently. Then there's one thing to set up today that will carry you to the end of the year.(02:02) The silence. You send auditions and hear nothing back. That's normal, and it isn't a verdict on you. The person casting is often the producer or the rights holder too, and they can't send notes to 200 people. I went through a stretch of complete crickets myself, and what changed it was changing my style and sending out a lot more auditions.(05:16) The gear spiral. New mics and interfaces, and a studio that's never quite right. Early on you're training your ears for the first time, so every click and mouth noise sounds huge. Nine times out of ten the fix is treating your space, not buying more gear, and then auditioning more.(08:38) Going it alone. We spend hours by ourselves in a closet. With nobody to give you feedback, you repeat the same mistakes a hundred times. The people I see last are part of a community where they can read for others and get notes back.(10:58) The wrong yardstick. Comparing your first year to someone's tenth, or your audio to someone on a $5,000 microphone. You get better at speaking into a mic the more you do it, and that takes time.(14:19) What the people who stay do. They set a weekly audition target and get regular feedback somewhere. Most of all, they track what they do rather than what they book. Bookings and money are the result. The auditions are what you control.(18:43) Do this today. Set a weekly audition number you can keep for the next 12 weeks, through the last quarter of the year, and track it every day.Post a read in the free Facebook group and I'll give you a note. https://www.facebook.com/groups/avosjourneyThere are over 900 free voice over scripts to practise with at https://www.avosjourney.com/scripts/?src=podcast and you can audition for audiobooks at https://academyvoices.comOur live classes are open to anyone during Free Class Week, 12 to 15 October. https://www.avosjourney.com/free-class?src=podcastWhen you're ready to train with us, here's VO Journey Academy. https://www.avosjourney.com/join?src=podcastSupport the showSocial Links:   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/anthony_pica_vo/Twitter - https://twitter.com/AVOsJOURNEYFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/avosjourney/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonypicavo/

The final instalment of the 2025 Cottage Mix Series! This is a very special one (and not just because it's the last mix before The Soul Shack turns 20!) - earlier in the year I was at my STK residency and thought it would be cool to use part of the night to make a short recording of all 80's retro remixes. I thought at best, I could maybe make an hour long mix before having to change it up out of 80's remixes...but that didn't happen. Instead, the people there that night were appreciating it, and coming up to me and asking for other 80's artists so I just kept going...and just like that, we got this timeless 3hr mix of remixed 80's classics! Hope you enjoy, and if you do, please share and repost for others to enjoy too!- Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dj_j_me- Bookings & Merch: jamiewichartz @ yahoo.ca- Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id306968245

Check out Lodgify claim your exclusive discount: https://www.lodgify.com/behind-the-stays/ Femme House website: https://stayfemmehouse.com/ Femme House on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/femmehouseaz/ — Vanessa Aguirre was in her bridal era when the idea for Femme House found her. A disappointing experience with her own wedding venue, a travel blogger's eye for what makes a stay shareable, and a hunch that bachelorettes deserved better than what Nashville was offering. So in 2020, with travel stopped, weddings cancelled, and everyone telling her she was crazy, she and her husband Jake bought a house in Nashville and painted it pink. It worked immediately. Bookings poured in from day one (her first mistake: pricing too low), and within a month the goal became property number two in Scottsdale, the country's second-largest bachelorette market.    Today Femme House runs three properties across the two cities, each designed around one guest: the bride. Heart-shaped mini golf, beauty bars built for getting ready together, a shimmer wall that saves every group the $800 they would spend renting one. Every detail has to be both functional and scroll-stopping. In this episode, Vanessa gets into the strategy behind the aesthetic: why picking one avatar beats appealing to everyone, why "copy the top-performing house" is the worst advice in short-term rental investing, how Nashville and Scottsdale bachelorettes behave completely differently, and how the communal "take a penny, leave a penny" decor culture became part of the brand. She also shares the Airbnb suspension scare, triggered by a neighbor's New Year's Eve fireworks, that pushed her into direct booking, first reluctantly and then happily with Lodgify. Her advice for anyone building a themed stay: go all the way in. —   Behind the Stays is brought to you by Journey — a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that brings together an alliance of the world's top independently owned and operated stays and allows travelers to earn points and perks on boutique hotels, vacation rentals, treehouses, ski chalets, glamping experiences and so much more.   Your host is Zach Busekrus, Head of Growth at Journey.

Libra Season Cosmic Energy Report | Sept 22 - Oct 22 2026 Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs. Libra Season: Venus goes retrograde in Scorpio on October 3rd, Mercury moves into Scorpio for over two months, and Pluto finally stations direct. Nice isn't neutral this season, and the sky is going to prove it. Emily and Andrea check in after an emotional Virgo season and a heavy final Pisces eclipse, and remember Dolly Parton, a fellow Capricorn who chose generosity over hoarding her wealth. Then they dig into Libra's older meaning as the sign of justice, not just balance, and what Saturn in Aries opposite the Libra sun means for boundaries this month. Andrea's tarot pulls, from the High Priestess to the Ace of Pentacles, keep circling one message: stay open to the conversation you'd normally walk away from, because that's where your next step shows up.   In this episode: Remembering Dolly Parton and why eclipses were once called king killers Libra's roots: the Babylonian balance of heaven, the Egyptian heart and feather, and the Greek scales and sword The full moon in Aries, Mars into Leo, and Mercury into Scorpio Venus retrograde (Oct 3 - Nov 13) and what it stirs up around trust, loyalty, and contracts The October 10th new moon in Libra and Pluto stationing direct on the 15th Tarot pulls for Libra season: High Priestess, Three of Pentacles, Six of Cups, Knight of Cups, Ace of Pentacles, plus the Queen of Swords as October's card A look ahead to Scorpio season Show Notes: 0:00 –  Podcast intro/welcome 0:17 –  Recap of an intense Virgo season 1:14 – Eclipse seasons in the past 3:56 – Dolly Parton, king-killer eclipses 6:31 – People making big life/job shifts this Virgo season 7:50 – Intro to Libra season — justice, balance, mythology 12:56 – Tarot pull Sept 22–26  16:57 – Astrology for Sept 22–26  19:59 – Tarot pull Sept 27–Oct 3 25:18 – Astrology Sept 27–Oct 3 34:36 – Tarot pull Oct 4–10 40:44 – Astrology Oct 4–10 46:12 – Tarot pull Oct 11–17 51:55 – Astrology Oct 11–17 56:33 – Tarot pull Oct 18–22 1:07:36 – Astrology Oct 18–22 1:13:49 – Joking about Venus being "sick of everyone" this retrograde 1:14:26 – Riffing on Mars wanting everyone to "have fun" 1:14:39 – SNL-parent joke continuing the bit 1:15:02 – Wrapping up, asking for final thoughts 1:15:06 – Crossing the Veil readings 1:15:47 – Soul audits, Spirit Social classes, Telegram group 1:20:20 – Praising Emily's offerings, sign-off 1:21:19 – Final thank-you and closing   Book your Crossing The Veil PDF Reading to be delivered on October 31st: https://andreamccallumservices.as.me/crossing-the-veil   Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art   Connect with Emily Bookings & Website: https://www.emilyandherstars.com Newsletter + Calendar Download: https://emilyandherstars.myflodesk.com/newslettersignup Instagram & Threads: @emilyandherstars

Do you actually want more of the business you've already got?In this episode, Katie talks about why "fully booked" has become such a status symbol in the wedding industry, even though it tells us very little about how profitable, stable or enjoyable a business actually is.We look at the difference between turnover and what you're actually left with, why doing fewer weddings can sometimes create a stronger business, and how to use what you've learned during this wedding season to make better decisions about next year.Katie also talks about why enquiry numbers and Instagram followers can give you a false sense of how well your marketing is working. If you've had 30 enquiries, what happened to them? If Instagram disappeared tomorrow, would you still know where your next booking was coming from?And with engagement season getting closer, we talk about why September is such an important time to fix the gaps in your business, rather than waiting until couples are already searching and enquiring.Why being fully booked doesn't necessarily mean you've built a profitable wedding businessThe hidden cost of taking on more weddings when your pricing or structure isn't workingWhy fewer, better bookings could be more valuable than a packed diaryWhat this summer's weddings can teach you about the business you want next yearWhy enquiry numbers don't matter if you're not tracking what happens afterwardsThe question to ask if Instagram disappeared tomorrowWhy September is the time to prepare your wedding business for engagement seasonHow to make sure more enquiries actually lead to more bookingsOn 29th September, Katie is hosting a free masterclass for wedding business owners who want to get their business into the strongest possible position before engagement season.We'll look at where your bookings are being won and lost, whether your marketing is attracting the right couples, what happens after somebody enquires, and where to focus your attention now so you're not trying to fix everything once engagement season has already started.Register for the masterclass:https://masterclass.wedproceo.com/booking-genius WedPro Studio has been built specifically for wedding businesses, combining AI with real wedding industry sales, marketing and business strategy.Inside you'll find WedPro Sales, Content, Nurture, email writing, terms and your own Business Brain, which learns about your business, brand, clients and voice so the help you get becomes specific to your business rather than generic.It's there to help you create better marketing, respond to enquiries, follow up couples who've gone quiet, write email sequences and make more confident business decisions without spending hours staring at a blank screen.Take a look at WedPro Studio:https://www.wedprostudio.comIf you enjoyed this episode, follow The WedPro Podcast so you don't miss the next one, and send this episode to a wedding business friend who needs to hear it.Episode Highlights Get ready for engagement season Try WedPro Studio

Marc spent nearly a decade away from Voices.com. Then, in July, he decided to give the platform another shot. Six weeks later, he had questions. In this episode of the Everyday VOpreneur Podcast, Marc is joined by Gina Scarpa, one of the top-booking voice actors on Voices.com, for a deep dive into how the platform actually works and how voice actors can get more from it. Originally recorded during Free Advice Friday, this conversation covers everything from profile optimization and search results to auditions, shortlists, algorithms, bookings, rates and more. Gina explains why getting to a 100% VoiceMatch should be one of your first priorities, how clips impact your visibility in search, what actually happens when a client receives your audition, and why you shouldn't be afraid to submit for opportunities that fit. They also dig into some of the mistakes voice actors make on the platform, including poorly optimized clips, misunderstanding statistics, archiving completed auditions, and automatically rejecting jobs because of perpetuity language without asking questions first. Plus, Marc shares what he's learned during his first six weeks back on Voices.com, how the experience compares with Voice123, and why his opinion of the platform is beginning to change. If you're already using Voices.com, thinking about joining, or wondering why you're paying for a membership but not seeing results, this episode will help you better understand the game you're playing and how to play it smarter.

John Maytham is joined by Jeremy Sampson, Chairman of Brand Finance Africa, to discuss whether a viral moment like the low-flying Airlink planes, can actually move the needle commercially. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions.

Wil Jorgensen started a machine shop at 22 with a $4,000 screw machine he found on Craigslist. He's 26 now, running Evolution CNC in Wenatchee, Washington, with seven people and a pallet automated 5-axis machine that runs close to around the clock. What makes this conversation worth your time isn't the growth curve though. It's how he thinks. Wil and his team wrote a four page manifesto before they made the big bets. Not a business plan, an emotional document about what would make betting their careers on this thing feel worthwhile. Then they bought a Matsuura MAM72 35 with 32 pallets when they had almost no money in the bank, overdrew the account by $4,000 to close it, and gave themselves about 30 days to make it work. It worked. Bookings went from $252,000 in 2024 to $1.1 million in 2025, and they're pushing toward $2 million this year. His advice on automation is blunt. Don't wait until you think you can afford it. The smaller the shop, the more automation you should have. The part that stuck with me most is the promise Wil makes to everyone he hires. He will not be angry. He spent a stretch of his early twenties running on anger and determination, and then decided he didn't have time for it. If one of his guys scraps $25,000 in parts and Wil stays calm, nobody else in the building gets to be angry either. That one decision shapes how the whole shop operates. There's a lot in here about buying machines you can't afford, cutting loose customers who don't pay, and getting out of your own people's way. If you're early in building a shop, or you're still touching everything yourself, this one will land.

I'm pulling back the curtain on real coaching conversations—and what I found might surprise you.This week, I did something I've never done before: I'm walking you through three real client case studies from inside my coaching sessions. These are experienced photographers—talented, established, and doing so many things right—but still hitting frustrating plateaus.What's fascinating?

This was actually recorded during cocktails/dinner at a wedding earlier this summer, where the couple's musical tastes made it the perfect opportunity to record this mix! Sad that summer is over, but hopefully the summer weather continues a little longer, and hopefully you'll enjoy this laidback mix.

In this episode, I explore the different ways men and women can experience themselves and the Divine through relationships. Men often look to feel strong, capable, desirable, admired. Women seek grounding and saftey whilst they can explore their whimsy and get in touch with their feminine.  We talk about heartbreak, the illusion of sexual freedom, the Soul, spiritual connection, and relationships as mirrors to ourselves.  Astrologically we speak about the end of eclipse season, the Virgo/Pisces eclipse themes of physical, psychic and spiritual healing, Neptune's new 12-year cycle in Aries, and the uncomfortable truths that may be revealed. And finally, we look at the week ahead: Mars square Saturn, emotional boundaries, anger, patience, and self-care. I invite you top leave comments and questions for further discussions of these topics.  Bookings are closed for the moment. 

September can feel like pure survival mode as a wedding photographer.You're shooting weddings, editing galleries, answering emails, creating timelines, posting sneak peeks, and basically just trying to keep your head above water.

Jesse Malinowski sits down with Annette Stilwell, founder of Stillwell Casting, who has been casting commercials and film in the Southeast since 1980 — and she does not hold back on what actors are getting wrong. From the commercial booking process (hint: five different people have to say yes before you get the job) to what first refusal actually means legally, this episode is the business-side education most actors never get.

This episode centers on the profound transition from Leo's fiery, drama-filled energy into Virgo's grounding, preparatory season, and the emotional terrain that comes with crossing that threshold. After a Cancer season that felt emotionally relentless and a Leo season that surfaced unexpected drama, the conversation explores how we're collectively being asked to sit with grief without dissolving into it. The tarot cards drawn throughout all speak to the same truth: that committing to a new path means letting go of things that may have been perfectly fine, even deeply loved, but no longer feed your growth. The grief that arises isn't a sign you're making the wrong choice; it's proof you cared.  Woven through this is the theme of trusting the unknown and recognizing that the Pisces lunar eclipse, Uranus squaring the sun and Mercury, and the broader astrological configurations are all conspiring to blow up your best-laid plans and replace them with something you couldn't have imagined. The invitation is to stop waiting for everything to be perfect before taking the first step, to plant the seed without knowing if it will grow, and to have faith that small, incremental actions accumulate into life-changing momentum. On the other side of the unknown is stepping into your power unapologetically while navigating the tension between self-advocacy and community. The Seven of Wands, the Ten of Pentacles, and the Devil card all point to the friction that arises when you choose a path others can't see yet. It is uncomfortable when you have to defend decisions against both external pushback and your own self-sabotaging patterns. The hosts explore deep questions about worthiness and enoughness: Who decides what you need? Have you outsourced your sense of value to something outside yourself? With Venus entering Scorpio for an unusually long stay and Uranus going retrograde in Gemini, the episode frames this fall as a period of deep emotional excavation, unconventional breakthroughs, and a reckoning with what truly sustains you.    The tarot card at the season's edge offers a final, gentle reminder that the sacred pause between who you were and who you're becoming is not indecision but receptivity, a moment to let the universe catch up to you before you take the next audacious leap!   Book your Crossing The Veil PDF Reading to be delivered on October 31st: https://andreamccallumservices.as.me/crossing-the-veil Show Notes   00:00 Welcome Back Duo 00:13 Leo Season Debrief 02:01 Drama And Fire 04:55 Barbault Basket Shifts 07:05 Small Steps Big Change 11:20 Mars In Cancer Warning 12:37 Virgo Season Explained 17:11 Virgo Vibes And Nodes 20:40 Tarot Five Of Cups 26:29 Virgo Transits Preview 31:06 Eclipse Cards Pulled 35:51 Pisces Eclipse Guidance 41:01 Boundaries Seven Wands 44:47 Jupiter Trine Saturn 45:37 No Shortcuts Allowed 47:03 Mars Saturn Gut Check 48:46 Curiosity Over Control 50:46 Devil Card Patterns 55:43 Venus Scorpio Shift 01:02:26 Ten Of Pentacles Rewards 01:08:25 Midmonth Power Moves 01:13:50 Hanged Man Pause 01:18:41 Equinox Boundaries Reset 01:24:10 Updates And Farewell    Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art

How many trial bookings do you normally get when your new academic year begins? And what would happen if you challenged yourself to double that number?In this episode of the Ultimate Dance Business Podcast, Deborah Laws explores what it really takes to attract more students to your dance school and why your results are often directly connected to the amount of thought, time and energy you put into your marketing.Rather than relying on a last-minute flurry of Facebook posts, flyers or ads, Deborah looks at the importance of having a proper dance studio marketing strategy in place well before your new term begins.Deborah takes you through how to:Create a planned marketing campaign to attract new dance studentsUse previous results to improve your marketing each yearTest different versions of your adverts, flyers and contentUnderstand why one marketing approach can work brilliantly one time and fail anotherUse split testing to discover what actually attracts enquiriesSet yourself a challenging but achievable target for new trial bookingsThink differently about the amount of effort you're prepared to put into growing your dance schoolUltimately, getting more dance students isn't about hoping that enquiries arrive. It's about making a conscious decision about what you want, creating a strategy to achieve it, and being prepared to put the work in.So, what would you really love your next academic year to look like and what are you prepared to do to make it happen?Book an evolution call with Deborah⁠⁠ ⁠https://go.dancebusinesslab.com/dance-school-success-planTo find out more about Dance Business Lab and work with Deborah head to ⁠https://dancebusinesslab.com⁠To find out more about working with Deborah through her exclusive Dance Business Lab membership programs follow the links below.Sparks membership - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dancebusinesslab.com/memberships/sparks⁠ Ignite membership - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dancebusinesslab.com/memberships/ignite⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Illuminate membership - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dancebusinesslab.com/memberships/illuminate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you love the show and you would like to support then why not buy Deborah a coffee simply head to ⁠http://buymeacoffee.com/DeborahL⁠This episode is sponsored by Dance Studio Marketing.You can find out more about Dance Studio Marketing and how you can work with Sally to supercharge your dance business at ⁠https://dancebusinesssolutions.com/social-media-for-dance-businesses/⁠This podcast is produced by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Content Studio

The way travelers discover short-term rentals is changing—and the biggest shift may be happening before they ever visit Airbnb, Vrbo, or a property manager's website. In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA Chief Economist Jamie Lane sits down with Jason Cincotta, co-founder of Kismet, to unpack how AI-powered search is reshaping travel discovery, how much revenue it may already be influencing, and why traditional attribution models could be missing a huge part of the picture.The conversation goes beyond the headline numbers. Jamie and Jason explore why AI-driven guests may convert at higher rates, why so much AI research happens “in the dark” without appearing in traditional analytics, and how the rise of AI could change the long-standing balance between OTAs and direct bookings. They also discuss what property managers and hosts can do today—from improving imagery and website experiences to making their property data easier for AI systems to understand.You don't want to miss this episode if you want to understand where STR distribution is headed next.Key TakeawaysAI search is already influencing STR bookings. Traditional referral and UTM data may dramatically undercount the impact of AI-driven travel research.The travel “front door” is changing. Guests are increasingly using AI to research destinations, build itineraries, compare properties, and determine where they want to stay before visiting a booking platform.Direct bookings could gain an advantage. AI can potentially compare OTAs with direct channels and surface properties based on the individual traveler's needs, preferences, and previous experiences.Your website still matters. More AI visibility only helps if your direct booking experience can convert the traffic. Strong imagery, compelling copy, mobile functionality, branding, and a seamless booking engine are becoming increasingly important.Make your property easy for AI to understand. Structured, accurate information about your homes—including amenities, imagery, availability, pricing, and other commercial data—can help ensure your inventory is discoverable in emerging AI-powered search environments.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

✨ "It's not about the job or the wages. You have to love it with absolute passion." – Helen PichaHelen Picha manages Liskennett Farm, a groundbreaking equine-assisted therapy center for children and adults with autism and intellectual disabilities in Granagh, County Limerick, Ireland, on the border of Limerick and Cork. She took over as manager two years ago after eleven years working alongside founder David Doyle, and now runs the 80-acre center — home to 23 horses across residential, day, and equine programs — that Rupert calls the cutting edge of best practice in equine-assisted therapy.What sets Liskennett apart is scale paired with radical openness. Every Saturday, the farm runs a booking-free, fee-free open day that draws between 80 and 100 children, no appointment required, no family turned away. Its indoor arena, originally built for riding, has been repurposed entirely into a music, movement, and play space, because the horses and children preferred being outdoors. And many of Liskennett's horses are retired Thoroughbred racehorses, some placed at Cheltenham, brought down from the racing circuit through a careful, months-long retraining process before ever carrying a child.In this conversation, Helen and Rupert trace Liskennett's origin story — from a 2012 Horse Boy demo, a young woman's tragic death, and a €3 million donation to a modern therapy campus — and dig into how the farm actually runs day to day: horse selection and retraining, staff burnout prevention, community integration through an inclusive fox hunt and horse show, and Liskennett's expansion into new satellite centers backed by €6 million in Irish government funding.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

Avery is joined by Courtney Petrovich, founder of Denori Designs, to explore how thoughtful design can dramatically improve the performance of short term rentals and boutique hotels. Courtney shares how she transitioned from long-term rental investing into hospitality design after doubling the annual revenue of her own North Myrtle Beach vacation rental, and explains why successful design starts with market research, guest psychology, and return on investment rather than personal taste. They discuss the importance of creating a strong sense of place, choosing amenities and furnishings that maximize revenue, and avoiding costly design mistakes that don't add long-term value. Courtney also offers practical advice on hiring the right designer, budgeting for renovations, and treating every design decision as an investment rather than an expense Connect with Courtney: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/denoridesigns/ Website: https://www.denoridesigns.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/denoridesigns/ Connect with us: The Short Term Shop - https://theshorttermshop.com/ https://stsplus.com/ Follow Avery Carl on Instagram Follow Avery Carl on TikTok Join the Short Term Shop Facebook group Check out the Short Term Shop on YouTube   For more information on how to get into short term rentals, read Avery's books: Smarter Short Term Rentals - Buy it on Amazon Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth: Your Guide to Analyzing, Buying, and Managing Vacation Properties – Buy it on Amazon

Hey hey, welcome back to Capture The Magic! We have got a packed episode this week and honestly food is taking over Disney World right now in the best possible way so let's just get into it. First up, the full food and drink guide for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party 2026 is out and there is a lot to look forward to. Speaking of the party, opening night is already sold out so if you were on the fence, just know the demand is very real this year. But wait, there's even more food news because Magic Kingdom is out here dropping new menu items too. Over at Golden Outpost you can now get Hot Honey Chicken Strips served with sweet potato fries topped with marshmallows and pecans, which honestly sounds wild in the best way. And Pecos Bill's has a new Barbecue Bacon Cheeseburger with Angus beef, American cheese, house-made bacon jam, and barbecue sauce. Oh and they also have Churro Loops with chocolate sauce now. Yes please. Six Ravens at Disney Springs is about to open and the menu details are here and we are going through all of it. This one has been on a lot of people's radar and it's shaping up to be a really interesting addition to the Springs dining scene. Over at EPCOT, Zootopia: Better Zoogether has a brand new pre-show featuring Mayor Brian Winddancer from Zootopia 2 introducing Zoogether Day at a press conference. Fun fact, this makes it the third attraction with Patrick Warburton involved, which is just a very specific and delightful piece of Disney trivia. Also at EPCOT, Shiki-Sai in the Japan Pavilion has added a fireworks dining package where you get appetizers, traditional sashimi, an extensive sushi selection, an exclusive dessert, beverages, and a view of Luminous. Bookings open August 27th on their website and pricing is $149.50 per adult and $74.70 per child, which includes tax and gratuity. On the refurb front, two big ones to know about. Kidani Village at Animal Kingdom Lodge is getting a major lobby refurbishment starting August 17th and running in phases through early November. The main entrance and check-in are moving to The Palace Library, the gift shop closes for two weeks, and different areas will take turns going offline throughout the project. And Coronado Springs convention center is looking at a much longer timeline, starting August 10th of this year and running all the way through September 2027. Work will happen in phases and some of it at night, but if you're staying there you'll likely see some impact around the El Centro Corridor area. And before we get to what's coming the rest of 2026, we have to talk about the Kermit the Frog Annual Passholder magnet that is on the way because that is adorable and we are very excited about it. Looking ahead at the rest of 2026 there is so much happening. Disney After Hours at EPCOT runs through September 24th. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is in full swing. D23 is coming. EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival kicks off August 27th and runs all the way through November 21st. Then we have Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Disney Jollywood Nights, and more.

How do you scale from managing fewer than 10 short-term rentals to 30+ properties—and more than $300K in monthly gross bookings? In this episode of the STR Pros Podcast, host Jeremy sits down with Ryan Shapiro to unpack Ryan's journey of building and scaling his short-term rental property management business. Ryan shares how he went from getting his first listings and leaving his job to managing a growing portfolio of 30+ properties. He and Jeremy discuss the strategies, systems, delegation, and mindset shifts that helped make that growth possible—and why scaling successfully isn't always about adding as many properties as possible. They also dive into one of the biggest lessons they've learned in the STR industry: quality inventory matters. From Airbnb arbitrage and co-hosting to building operational systems and choosing properties that create memorable guest experiences, Jeremy and Ryan share practical insights for anyone looking to build a more profitable and sustainable short-term rental business. In this episode, you'll learn: • How Ryan scaled from fewer than 10 to 30+ STR properties• What helped his portfolio reach $300K+ in monthly gross bookings• Why mastering the basics is still one of the best ways to grow• How to delegate guest messaging, maintenance, and daily operations• Why 20% of your properties can create 80% of your headaches• When it makes sense to walk away from difficult properties• The pros and cons of Airbnb rental arbitrage• Why quality inventory can matter more than total unit count• How Ryan approaches luxury co-hosting in Florida• How systems and the right team can help you scale without handling everything yourself Whether you're an Airbnb host, STR investor, co-host, or property manager, this episode is packed with lessons for building a short-term rental business that can grow without taking over your life. Subscribe to the STR Pros Podcast for more conversations with Jeremy and other STR operators about Airbnb investing, co-hosting, property management, vacation rentals, operations, and scaling a profitable short-term rental business.

They cover everything from photography and listing titles to descriptions, reviews, pricing, and booking settings.You'll learn why real estate photography is not the same as short-term rental photography, how generic AI-generated titles disappear in crowded markets, and why lowering your nightly rate is not a real pricing strategy.Before you discount your property again, use this episode to audit the entire guest booking experience.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your listing photos may be costing you bookingsHow to write a title that gives guests a reason to choose youWhat your description needs to communicate before “Show More”Why a full calendar can mean you are underpricedHow reviews influence both trust and pricing powerWhich Airbnb settings may be creating unnecessary booking frictionResources Mentioned: Apply for Strategic Host!
