Podcasts about bookings

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.

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

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. The back half of this year is going to be very busy in the best way. Thanks so much for hanging out with us today.

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.

Leo Season 2026: Barbault's Basket, Nodal Shift & Eclipse Messages (Tarot + Astrology) This episode finds Emily and Andrea checking in during a season that's felt heavy for a lot of people. Wildfires, global unrest, and an unusually introspective Mercury retrograde in Cancer, have had everyone doing more integrating than mingling. Rather than the typical summer of parties, beach days, and socializing, the hosts share that they have been experiencing some significant perspective shifts on how to move forward with their work. As the fifth anniversary of her podcast approaches, Emily has decided that it will be renamed The Emily and Her Stars Podcast to simplify branding, while continuing monthly joint tarot-and-astrology episodes with Andrea. This is one small but meaningful act that aligns with the messages around making choices based on what is best for you. The cosmic centerpiece of the conversation is Leo season and what may be one of the most charged astrological windows in decades, Barbault's Basket. Emily talks about how this is a rare alignment of outer planets that astrologer André Barbault identified as a potential turning point for humanity. With Jupiter in Leo facing off against Pluto in Aquarius, a total solar eclipse on August 12th, and the North Node shifting into Aquarius for the next year and a half, the hosts see this as a genuine threshold moment. The repetition in Andrea's tarot cards echo the message throughout, starting with the Nine of Wands reminding us to stand tall as we near a change, and closing with the confident mastery of the King of Pentacles. The throughline from both astrology and cards is remarkably consistent - stop waiting for permission, trust what you've been building, and take the leap while the energy is finally at your back!

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I compare Google's ecosystem-first AI strategy with the hybrid deployment models of Microsoft and AWS.Highlights 00:03 — A crazy new trend here in 2026 has been AI deployment, or agent deployment, agentic transformation. The connection is this remarkable technology that all these AI companies have been pumping out with the desired business goals that business leaders are demanding. You see a couple of different approaches emerging here. 00:26 — The five big AI companies leading the way on this are Google Cloud, Microsoft, AWS, OpenAI, and Anthropic. The only one of those that is going with an exclusively partner ecosystem-led approach for these AI deployments is Google Cloud. I think the big thing is it's going 100% with its ecosystem partners for these AI deployments, for what Google Cloud calls agentic transformation. 01:51 — President, Global Partner Ecosystem, Kevin Ichhpurani has been a very successful in his efforts. He's also been a staunch supporter of this [approach], he says: "We're a technology company. We're really good at doing the technology, and we want to surround ourselves with force multiplying partners who are really good at the deployment. And Google Cloud will be connected with them in some ways." 03:16 — Partner-driven revenue was up 80%. Bookings driven by partners were up 100%, so they doubled. And sales of partner-created solutions on the Google Cloud Marketplace were up 90%. As high-growth as Google Cloud was in 2025, they're moving and growing, expanding at an even more blistering pace here in 2026. 04:36 — Google Cloud has said, "Hey, what we've been doing so far has been working really well. We're going to double down on that with lots of training and incentives for our partners," whereas AWS and Microsoft say, "You know what? We're going to keep working with partners. In some ways, we need to build our own capabilities and expertise." Visit Cloud Wars for more.

David Carr of SimilarWeb explains that while traffic to Delta Air Lines' (DAL) website is rising, bookings have grown more slowly as the airline prioritizes profitability over volume. He also highlights Delta's investment in premium offerings and targeted search advertising, which continues to attract high-value customers.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Your Airbnb might be beautiful, but that does not mean guests are going to book it.When hosts struggle to fill their calendars, they often blame demand, competition, or the Airbnb algorithm. But the real problem may be sitting right inside the listing.In this episode, Sarah and Annette break down six common mistakes that cause guests to scroll past a property or abandon it before booking. 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!

Brian Bennett spent most of his 10-year tattoo career booked out two weeks at a time, stressed about money, and stuck overthinking every piece of marketing advice he already knew. We talk about why that happens — and what actually got him from a constant 7-8 stress level down to a 4, booked 4-6 weeks out, with no TikTok dances, no gimmicks, just one honest video and a few small habit changes. If you've ever known exactly what you should be doing and still couldn't make yourself do it, this one's for you.

Cancer season and Inviting Shadow just got combined because "less is more" is pretty much the whole theme of this year anyway. In the episode Emily and Andrea map the entire back half of 2026, Cancer season all the way through winter solstice, in one sitting. Fair warning, this is a long one. Take it in pieces if you need to. Bookmark it. Come back to it every month like a lot of our listeners already do, but here's why you can't skip it! On July 3rd and 4th, Mars meets Uranus in Gemini for the first time since the 1940s. The last time these two collided in this sign, it was six days before the atomic bomb was dropped. The time before that, it was the literal day the first shots of the Civil War were fired. The time before that, it was the day the Continental Congress moved to declare independence from Britain. Emily spent two days trying to write about this one because it's loud and explosive energy. Layered right on top of it is something called Barbault's Basket, a rare alignment between Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The French astrologer Andre Barbault, who predicted the 2020 pandemic, the 2008 financial crash, and the fall of the Soviet Union, thought this basket configuration was a turning point for humanity. It's forming now. Emily walks through exactly what it means and why she's choosing hope over fear on this one. And that's just July. From there, the seasons unfold like a epic 3 part movie. August asks you to grieve amidst eclipses and September encourages you to sit on your throne of divine sovereignty. Things get tricky when October sharpens your tongue and boundary work. Clarity is kindness, even when it's a little brutal. November pulls the community back in around you, right when you need it most. December finally, finally lets you breathe, no retrogrades over the holidays for the first time in what feels like forever. Andrea pulled tarot for every single month and Emily mapped every major astrological transit. Together they bring you the most comprehensive look at the last half of 2026. If you only listen to one Cosmic Energy Report this year, make it this one. You're going to want the full picture before July hits!

Think your bookings are down because of the algorithm, seasonality, or increased competition? The real problem might be hiding inside your Airbnb settings.In this episode, Sarah and Annette break down the Airbnb features that could be creating friction for potential guests and limiting your visibility in search. They share three settings they recommend turning off immediately and five settings every host should review and enable to improve conversions, increase booking velocity, and create a smoother guest experience.You'll learn why required booking messages can hurt conversion rates, the hidden downside of extra person fees, why Airbnb Smart Pricing may not be serving your revenue goals, and how tools like Instant Book and Professional Hosting Tools can help you attract more bookings.Whether you're managing one property or a growing portfolio, this episode is a reminder that your settings aren't "set it and forget it." Small adjustments can have a significant impact on your bottom line.Resources Mentioned:Apply for Strategic Host!

In this episode of Branded & Booked, I'm pulling back the curtain on the real booking and revenue numbers from May at Cabins on the Cumberland. If you've ever wondered whether investing in direct bookings is actually worth it, this episode provides the proof. I break down exactly where our bookings came from, how much revenue each channel generated, and why direct bookings continue to outperform Airbnb when it comes to profitability. I also share the pricing strategies, marketing tactics, and guest experience considerations that have helped us grow direct bookings into a meaningful part of our business. During the episode, I walk through our May booking breakdown, explain why 29% of our bookings generated 43% of our total revenue, and share how Airbnb and direct bookings compare from a profitability standpoint. I discuss the pricing strategy behind maintaining rate parity across channels, how promo codes and email marketing support direct booking growth, and why direct guests are often less price-sensitive than OTA guests. I also explore the psychological difference between booking on Airbnb versus a branded website, how simple upsells can increase guest value, why owning the guest relationship matters, and the hidden costs of relying entirely on OTAs. Most importantly, I explain why building a brand is one of the most valuable long-term investments a hospitality business can make. The numbers from May tell an interesting story. While 62% of our bookings came from Airbnb, those reservations generated approximately 47% of our total revenue. Direct bookings accounted for just 29% of reservations but generated approximately 43% of total revenue. Airbnb produced $12,943.26 in revenue while direct bookings generated $11,927.27, leaving only about a $1,000 difference between the two channels despite a significant difference in booking volume. If you're a vacation rental owner, boutique hotel operator, or hospitality entrepreneur looking to create a more profitable and sustainable business, this episode offers practical insights you can apply immediately.
