Episode Notes Airbnb had a strong third quarter, recording its highest ever quarterly profits and setting a company record for revenue, writes Travel Technology Reporter Justin Dawes. The company reported net income of $1.6 billion, excluding a one-time income tax benefit. It also generated $3.4 billion worth of revenue, an 18% jump from last year. Dawes reports those record numbers were driven by 113 million bookings during the third quarter, a 14% year-over-year increase.  In addition, Airbnb said it saw a 19% jump in its active listings last quarter, with Latin America and Asia-Pacific representing the regions with the highest growth.  Next, American Airlines is looking to boost profitability as it flies to more underserved U.S. cities and enhances its loyalty program, writes Travel Experiences Reporter Selene Brophy.   American CEO Robert Isom said at the Skift Aviation Forum on Wednesday the carrier would increase service to smaller U.S. cities, citing Roanoke, Virginia and Lubbock, Texas as examples. Isom added that American was looking to strengthen its loyalty program, which lags behind competitors. He called it an “untapped opportunity.”  Finally, United Airlines strongly believes that the international travel boom hasn't peaked, reports Edward Russell, editor of Skift publication Airline Weekly.  United Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Nocella said at the Forum on Wednesday that the company sees more opportunity for growth overseas. United recently ordered hundreds of new Boeing 787s and unveiled several transatlantic routes for next summer. Russell writes United saw record profits for both transatlantic and transpacific travel in the third quarter.  However, Russell notes many airline industry insiders wonder if the international boom will continue. In addition, long-haul international routes cost more to operate than domestic flights, possibly leading to large losses. 

Transcript Address: https://share.descript.com/view/1hNVELOrDH0In this episode, we delve into the fascinating historical context of the Decapolis cities, a league of ten Hellenistic-Roman cities in the eastern part of the Roman Empire. These cities played a pivotal role in the ancient world and had a unique cultural and political significance. The Decapolis cities were strategically located in the crossroads of trade routes, fostering a rich tapestry of cultural exchange. We explore their origins, which can be traced back to the 4th century BCE, and their subsequent incorporation into the Roman Empire. Throughout the episode, we discuss the diverse characteristics of these cities, from the grandeur of Jerash to the maritime importance of Scythopolis. Join us as we uncover the historical backdrop of the Decapolis cities and gain insights into the complex tapestry of the ancient world.

Local governments can play a critical and necessary role in advancing system and policy changes to support communities, but it can be challenging to understand the complexities within local government and how best to work together. In this episode, Forum Director of Programs and Partnerships, Courtney W.

Boo is always active in the community from founding his startup Sparkbox to putting on dodgeball tournaments. Yes, you read that correctly, Baton Rouge has a dodgeball tournament! Boo's area of expertise is crime reduction. This led him to being invovled with Cities United, and is actually a board member on their board of advisors. His origin, however, goes back to music.

"When you watch Ahmad Aubrey being shot and you hear that those men have been released and were it not for the video and the outrage, those people would be living their lives, what part of the contract is that in society? When you see George Floyd on the ground, and you see a man losing his life in a way that no person should ever have to lose their life at the hands of someone who is supposed to enforce the law, what part of the contract is that? A lot of people say, well, what good does this do? Yeah, but what good doesn't it do? That's the question people don't ask the other way around. What good does it do to loot Target?

I am so proud of this episode and of this week's guest Youth Leader, Haafiz Muhammad. Haafiz joined me to discuss the impact he's made in his community and ways we can empower young people to tackle issues that confront them daily. Haafiz has been instrumental in Camden, New Jersey's efforts to mitigate violence impacting youth through his participation in the Department of Justice's National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention. As a delegate representing Camden in such arenas as Cities United (a collective of mayors working to halt the loss of life in cities throughout America - CitiesUnited.org) Haafiz has represented on the national stage and on the front lines of change. Haafiz shares how his heritage as a Muslim and member of the Nation of Islam makes him distinct and a role model for his peers. I am thankful for Haafiz taking time to share his perspective on current events and popular trends that affect the Black community. This was a profound discussion and Haafiz will leave the listener encouraged that our youth are recognizing their right and responsibility to transform the world in which they live.

Across the United States of America, there are predominately African American Communities that experience higher rates of violence, unemployment, single-parent families, school dropout, and because of those things and more… there is a hope deficit for many. The most glaring example of that in our nation is with young African American men. Also happening across America, all be it more recently, is an increasing tendency to look to Mayors for solutions and reliable partnerships. The reasons for that include less partisan based legislative gridlock and a keener eye for the actual on the ground issues. Interests across the spectrum are increasingly seeing a bottom-up rather than a top-down approach as a more effective way forward. Today on the City Voice Podcast the conversation is with Anthony Smith of Cities United. Cities United is working directly in support of over 120  Mayors across America in an effort to more effectively turn the tide when it comes to violence, homicide, unemployment and lack of hope to name a few. Particularly for young African American men. My guest Anthony Smith has his own story of hope. My conversation on the City Voice Podcast is with Anthony Smith of Cities United.

Started by the Open Society Foundations in 2008 as the nation’s largest philanthropic initiative on this issue, Dove’s leadership has propelled CBMA into becoming an independent entity, growing its membership to more than 4,000 leaders representing over 2,000 organizations nation-wide. For more than a decade, Dove has demonstrated catalytic leadership in helping to establish and develop the field of Black Male Achievement.
