Listen to today's podcast... Have You Ever Had A Dog Bite You? I was only two.  In my mind, I vaguely remember being in our living room with my mom while she was crying and talking on the phone to the hospital.  I remember being in the emergency room.  And before all of this, I have a fleeting memory of being out at the barn and our dog.  Somehow, our dog thought that I was going to steal his food, though I had been out there numerous times.  On this particular occasion, he snapped at me and bit me, just missing my eye. Even the calmest, most loving dog can get snappy when sat on, stepped on or when they feel fear for themselves or their family. My experience could have left me scarred in many more ways than just the one that I carry on my face.  Today, I am a dog lover. I don't fear them, but I do have a very healthy respect for them. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here are today's Tips For Protecting Yourself And Celebrating Dog Bite Prevention Week: The Canadian Safety Council estimates that in 70% of dog bite cases the victim knew the dog.  Parents need to teach their children how to interact safely with Fido. NEVER disturb a dog who is sleeping, eating, or caring for puppies. NEVER pet a dog, even your own, without letting him see and sniff you first. Dogs that haven't been properly socialized, receive little attention or handling, or are left tied up for long periods of time frequently turn into biters.  Be a responsible pet owner. Properly train and socialize your dog, and teach it submissive behaviors like giving up food without growling. Cynophobia is an irrational fear of dogs. If you find that your fear of dogs is excessive and you can't easily avoid them, seek out the help of a professional counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist.

Ronnie Manning is the Chief Brand Associate at Yubico, a global cybersecurity company renowned for inventing the YubiKey, which offers phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication solutions. With over 20 years of experience in agency and corporate communications, he has focused on public relations and marketing strategies to bring new technology products to market. Prior to joining Yubico, Ronnie held positions at Raytheon/Websense and Edelman Public Relations. At Yubico, he has been instrumental in promoting the adoption of hardware-based authentication solutions and advocating for enhanced cybersecurity measures. In this episode… Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever, yet many users and organizations still rely on outdated or weak authentication methods. With phishing attacks on the rise and data breaches growing costlier, the need for robust-yet-intuitive security solutions has never been greater. But how do you convince people to adopt a physical device for digital protection in a world that's increasingly mobile and virtual? According to Ronnie Manning, a cybersecurity branding expert, the answer lies in simplicity. He explains that strong security doesn't necessitate complicated processes. Ronnie also highlights how real-world usability, like eliminating the need to fumble with codes or apps, drives faster adoption. This shift toward user-friendly security builds trust, saves time, and reduces risk. He adds that educating new markets with human-centered storytelling plays a key role in overcoming resistance and legacy perceptions about hardware-based solutions. In this episode of the Revenue Engine Podcast, host Alex Gluz sits down with Ronnie Manning, Chief Brand Associate at Yubico, to talk about making cybersecurity simple, scalable, and phishing resistant. They explore how physical keys streamline enterprise authentication, why user education is key to adoption, and how phishing-resistant methods like FIDO are gaining traction. Ronnie also shares strategies for large-scale rollout and onboarding in hybrid work environments.

HOLY COW YOU GUYS, do I have a GREAT episode in store for you this week. I have long admired what Tori & Seth Bolt (the visionaries behind Bolt Farm Treehouse) have created, and I finally got to ask Tori the burning questions I've had about what it takes to build a brand this iconic – if you're not already following them, please run to their Instagram right now and do so. You know I love a guest who isn't afraid to share numbers, and boy, did Tori reveal it all... How much do their custom domes cost to build? How much did they pay for the land? How much do they charge per night for their tree houses? How much do they spend on marketing?! Hint. A LOT. What percentage of their bookings are direct? Spoiler, it's 100%. The best part about this conversation was the fact that this was just a small taste of the value Tori brings, because her & Seth are officially locked in as speakers for the 2025 LUYL Summit! P.S.

This week on No Vacancy I catch up with Avery Carl (check out the last time she was on the show in episode 74) on what her next moves are since we last talked about her portfolio of 250 doors! One thing I found so refreshing about Avery's perspective was her idea that she's "only buying vacation rentals that are meant to be vacation rentals". In a time where midterm rentals, corporate housing, insurance stays, and other rental strategies are more and more trendy, I appreciated Avery's unabashed view on the idea that she's in the STR asset class to be an STR host – not to keep pivoting to the next hot thing! Avery gets candid with us about a big failure with a recent property and how she lost money on the deal. And she also dishes out some real talk to the hosts who are considering selling right now. Be the first to read her newest book, "Smarter Short-Term Rentals" published with Bigger Pockets by pre-ordering it now here. Thank you to my sponsors!

The first great release of 2025 is already here: Bad Bunny's newest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. Over the course of its 17 tracks, the Puerto Rican reggaetonero crafts an intertextual, anti-colonial tome of a record, incorporating sounds from across his island and the boricua diaspora. From his use of salsa classics on "NUEVAYoL," to his pointed interpolations on "VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR," and his detour into folk melodies and songwriting on tracks like the somber "LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii," the record features some of Bad Bunny's most creative, intense, and direct work yet. On this episode of Switched On Pop, producer Reanna Cruz takes Charlie and Nate on a journey through Bad Bunny's love letter to Puerto Rico, with additional insight from journalist and translator Carina del Valle Schorske. Songs Discussed: Bad Bunny, "DtMF" Bad Bunny, "NUEVAYoL" Bad Bunny, "BOKeTE" Bad Bunny, "EL CLúB" El Gran Combo De Puerto Rico, "Un verano en Nueva York" Bad Bunny, "PIToRRO DE COCO" Bad Bunny, "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" Rauw Alejandro, "Tú Con Él" Bad Bunny, "VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR" Wisin & Yandel, Héctor "El Father," "La Barría" Alexis y Fido, "Me Quiere Besar" Angel y Khriz, "Cazando Voy" Bad Bunny, "El Apagón" Bad Bunny, Kendo Kaponi, Arcángel, "P FKN R" Bad Bunny, "LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii" Bad Bunny, "CAFé CON RON" Learn more about your ad choices.

Some places just can't catch a break—like a cute little town cranking out more monsters than a bad horror franchise or a house that comes with an unexpected basement door leading straight to sleepless nights. When Brad and Jenny find their picture-perfect rental, it seems too good to be true: cheap rent, convenient job location, and even a yard for the dog (as long as Fido stays far, far away from that highway of doom). But once the paint starts peeling and the walls begin whispering, it's clear this home didn't come with a standard-issue welcome mat.
