Airbnb was a crazy saturated space pre-COVID and once the whole world shut down, it caused everyone, including people in real estate to have to majorly pivot and pivot quickly. Now, as some city regulations are slowly being lifted, where do you even start with the market with the way it is right now? How do you manage to do Airbnb successfully when the guidelines have become so strict, let alone grow it into a reliable business during this time? How do you eventually get to a place of holding dozens of units at a time? Michael Kiriazis and Peter Francis, are the founders of Goat Hote, known as the GOAT (“Greatest Of All Time”) of recommendations for food, fun, and experiences in the travel world. Michael and Peter started their management company only three years ago, now with over 60 units across the U.S. In the past 2 years during COVID, they were able to massively pivot from a master leasing model to predominantly a management model. The two have been active members of our Legends X community even before the existence of Goat Hote. On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Michael and Peter join me to explain how they have managed to become a well known Airbnb management company in only 3 years. They not only take me through the ups and downs of their journey, but they also share pieces of advice along the way on how to successfully do what they do.

An adventure in progress, as we all are, Cassie Cichocki prides herself on her ability to create space for others to feel safe, supported, and secure. As a freelance writer and meditation teacher living in Nashville, she's able to put life's experiences, both good and bad, into words that allow people to feel understood, and gives others the opportunities to look at their own stories with curiosity instead of judgment. A former blogger for Chicago Now, the online subsidiary of the Chicago Tribune, Cassie first went viral for a post about...tampons. Little did she know that her blog about being a self-proclaimed hot mess would quickly become a go-to source for people who didn't know how to put their own experiences into words. Her current blog, solongasitiswild.com, is a space for fellow adventures in progress to show up exactly as they are. There's no such thing as good vibes only in her world, and she wants people to live life as fully as possible, no matter what their history may be. Cassie lives by the words: “I see you. I hear you. I get it. Me, too”, and that comes across in her writing. An advocate for making therapy accessible to all, Cassie is passionate about changing the narrative around mental health. When not working or volunteering, she can most often be found with a book in hand; logging miles, hiking mountains, and contemplating the musings of herself and others. (She also quotes her therapist way too often, but she'll save that for the blog.) with musical guest Tomboyce Avenue Singer-Songwriter Nilda "DADA" Cantil Lampitoc aka Tomboyce Avenue is a full-blooded Filipino, born and raised in a Tropical Country of the Philippines, Island of Luzon. She now lives in San Diego, California and is working as a Medical Professional. Tomboyce Avenue highly believes that "MUSIC IS MEDICINE". In July 2020 Tomboyce Avenue released TAKE ME BACK featuring Corrick Watson of THROUGH THE ROOTS, K-Skunk (Kaya Hall) Bassist of SENSI TRAILS/ Frontman of STRICTLY SKUNK and Maria Connors. TAKE ME BACK is a song Tomboyce Avenue wrote about how she feels as half musician and as a half medical professional with the current situation about the COVID-19 pandemic and about Black Lives Matter. The song was produced by E.N Young of Imperial Sound Recording Studio; Roots Musician Records and former Keyboardist of the band Tribal Seeds. Tomboyce Avenue Band consists of Dada Lampitoc (Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar), Maria Connors (Keyboard, Trumpet, Vocals), Alex Bellafaire (Bass Guitar, Saxophone), Chris Dadey (Lead Guitar), Chris McDonald (Drums) and Daniel Hall (Percussions, Vocals). We are here to share as much positivity as we can through our music. The band often plays to open up for Filipino musicians touring here in USA. She opened up for Jireh Lim, Geneva Cruz, Shane Ericks, Carol Banawa, Juan Karlos, December Avenue and international artist Stephen Speaks. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hikingmyfeelings/support

Social media isn’t going anywhere. It is part of our society and while the platforms may change, evolve, and expand, online sharing has become part of the culture. In our business and in our personal lives we need to think about what and who we want to represent on our own social platforms from Facebook to LinkedIn, Instagram to TikTok. There’s so much to think about for our own personal branding.There’s also the other side of social. The darker side, where comparison can make us feel inferior, trolls can threaten our well-being and one wrong turn can stay with you...for a very long time. What happens when social media threatens your mental health and yet, it’s your business? In this week’s episode, we’re talking with Tracy Goodheart. Tracy shares her personal story and detrimental relationship with social media, her shift in the way she showed up on social to enhance her mental health instead of destroying it, and best practices for YOU as you build your personal brand online.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts I Spotify I Google Podcast I SticherEPISODE RESOURCESTracy Samantha Goodheart is the founder of Socially Authentic, a personal marketing company that helps entrepreneurs, executives, and creatives market themselves with ease. Tracy has worked in and around social media for 15 years--as a journalist for TIME Magazine covering the rise of social media; as the founding editorial director of ChicagoNow.com, the Tribune's groundbreaking network of blogs; and as the director of social media strategy for Crain Communications, publisher of titles like Ad Age and Crain's' New York Business. Tracy is also a passionate educator, having taught thousands of people how to use social media to market themselves and their businesses more effectively. She is now an adjunct faculty member at the University of Chicago, where she teaches content and social media marketing.People want to hire/do business with people they like and who are relatable. Tracy recommends going very slowly with being authentic online and suggests doing that starting with Instagram. Set your boundaries before you start being authentic. Have a friend who has your back and that you can bounce ideas off of, especially if you are concerned that a post may be too personal or polarizing. Consider your long-term goals and post content that moves your life in that direction.

In our second episode, we discuss the myth* that is CLOSURE. Does it exist? Can you really ever have all the questions you may come up with answered by a former flame? Does it even help you in the grand scheme of things? Do you actually want to know the real answer anyway? Tune in to hear ways to give someone closure, times (only one of us) has found it, and all the arguments (mainly against) surrounding the post-break up phenomenon that is closure. LINKS TO CONTENT DISCUSSED: Psychology Today: “no one can give you closure but yourself" Definition: Urban Dictionary Social psychologist Arie Kruglanski in The Conversation on: coining the phrase “closure” in the 1990s Lauren Jarvis-Gibson in Tought Catalog on Closure: "Love mattered and closure doesn’t make it not matter.” Anonymous in Chicago NOW on Closure: “A conversation that was meant to close the door sometimes seems to open ten more windows.” *open to interpretation, we unsurprisingly assume no responsibility for what is discussed.

A Girl Talk throwback episode! This show was recorded live at The Hideout in Chicago on June 26, 2017.On June 12, 2016, one of the biggest terrorist attacks in U.S. history shattered the LGBTQ community in Orlando. Then, we watched the White House fill up with homophobes while states banned trans people from bathrooms. For years, the fight for marriage equality dominated the conversation when it came to LGBTQ rights. We won that battle, but the fight is clearly far from over. On June 27, 2017, The Girl Talk welcomed women fighting for LGBTQ rights in Chicago and beyond. From tackling rampant homelessness among queer youth to a civil rights attorney focused on intersectionality, our guests talk about the issues facing our queer communities today and what we can do to better support them. Also, Jen really wants to talk about lesbian bars. What is The Girl Talk, you ask? It's a monthly show on the last Tuesday of the month hosted by women (DNAinfo's Jen Sabella and public education warrior/CPS teacher Erika Wozniak) and featuring influential Chicago women. Though the show features women and femme-identified individuals on stage, we welcome all gender identities and expressions to join us for these important conversations. THE GUESTS Gaylon B. Alcaraz is an activist, organizer and champion of human rights. As the past Executive Director of the Chicago Abortion Fund, she worked within the reproductive justice/rights/health movement to advocate for low-income women seeking to control their reproductive freedom. Among the many social justice accomplishments credited to Gaylon, she served as a founding board member of Affinity Community Services, a social justice organization that advocates for the rights of black lesbian and bisexual women in the Chicago land area. During her board tenure at Affinity, she assumed increased leadership roles, across all areas of the organization's functions including the role of Vice-President of the board, prior to the end of her final board service. She is also a past board member of the Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health and the Midwest Access Project.For more than twenty years, she has worked on behalf of sexual minority women, anti-violence, gender equity, health prevention, reproductive rights, as well as race and culture issues. Gaylon has consistently applied her knowledge in practice towards quality improvement, increased access, and by challenging frameworks that do not allow for the exploration of diversity across multiple dimensions when working with, and on behalf of diverse constituencies. These passionate beliefs have led her to advocate on behalf of all women and children.Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois she was awarded her BA and MA from DePaul University. Gaylon is currently a Ph.D candidate in Community Psychology at National Louis University. She has received awards from Sister Song Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, Northwest Suburban NOW, Choice USA, Chicago Foundation for Women and Chicago NOW for her work in the reproductive rights/health and justice field.

Pulp forces the author to write efficiently. Gordon does a lot of freelance copywriting and blogging, forcing him to keep to a regimented schedule. Caring for a sick parent has also forced Gordon to be very flexible with his time. Being aware of and understanding your priorities is key to balancing life and work and art.
