On this week's Good Morning Hospitality, Michael Goldin and Brandreth Canaley dive into three stories reshaping the hospitality landscape. Oman's $7 million investment in UnderTheDoormat Group highlights how government support is fueling the growth of alternative accommodations. The team then unpacks the cautionary tales of Selina and Sonder Inc., two once-hyped disruptors whose struggles show the dangers of chasing scale without sustainable fundamentals. This topic is based on a great article and video by Rafat Ali, which was published not too long ago. Finally, Michael and Brandy discuss the trend of hotels and Airbnb turning their focus toward locals — whether through day-use packages, work-from-hotel offers, or community-focused stays — and what this shift means for the industry's future.

On today's episode of Good Morning Hospitality, Michael Goldin, Wil Slickers, and Brandreth Canaley dig into two major stories that could shape the future of short-term rentals and travel tech. First, we unpack Airbnb's push into artificial intelligence and the company's vision to revolutionize travel search. CEO Brian Chesky is betting big on AI to turn Airbnb into a fully personalized travel concierge—eliminating the need for traditional search fields like dates and destinations. Could this be the next big leap in how people plan trips, or is it another overhyped AI play? Then, we explore the recent lawsuit filed by the State of California against Airbnb, alleging the platform enabled price gouging and fake host identities during wildfire emergencies. The legal and ethical implications of this case could ripple across the industry, especially around platform responsibility and host verification. This episode segment is brought to you by our friends at Guesty. Will we see you in Mexico City for GuetsyVal?

RELATIONSHIPS Over Revenue | Talk2Rami feat. Kate (Barnett) KirschnerKate (Barnett) Kirschner shares her journey from overcoming social anxiety to becoming a successful sales leader at Guesty. For her, the most important aspect of sales is building genuine relationships, embracing vulnerability, and adapting thoughtfully to the rise of AI in the industry. Her philosophy centers on truly caring for people, asking the right questions, and fostering a collaborative sales culture.In the world of sales, the traditional approach often feels transactional, focusing solely on closing deals rather than fostering genuine connections.Successful sales are rooted in relationships. Hiring individuals who are natural relationship builders is crucial. "If you get a good relationship builder, if you get somebody who cares about human beings, you can teach them a product, and they can sell it.”Kate's experience in building relationships serves as a reminder that success is not just about closing deals—but about fostering genuine connections. By prioritizing empathy, curiosity, and collaboration, sales professionals can create a culture that not only drives results but also enriches the lives of those they serve.In a world where technology is ever-present, the human element cannot be replaced, and those who embrace this philosophy will undoubtedly thrive in their careers.Get in touch with Kate on LinkedIn and check out GuestyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katebarnettkirschner/Guesty automates and streamlines every aspect of your growing & changing rental business.

This week on the Reel Action Fishing Podcast, Guesty and the Ferret chat about this years Pirtek Fishing Challenge!

In this episode, we tackle the challenge so many of us are facing right now: how do you choose the right AI tools without getting overwhelmed by the endless options? With over 32,000+ tools out there (yes, really), it's easy to fall into analysis paralysis or end up subscribing to a dozen platforms you barely use. Nihal and I share our favorite go-to tools, what we're using in our own businesses, and how to evaluate which platforms are truly worth your time and money. We also explore the difference between individual LLMs (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) versus aggregator platforms (like Abacus and Poe), and how each one fits into a short-term rental operator's toolkit. We even take a side trip into dog diet planning using Claude (yes, AI really can do that), and why being intentional is the most important skill you can develop when integrating AI into your business. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Revolutionize Your Employee Onboarding with THRIVE Essentials: Faster Training, Stronger Teams, Better Results!

We've arrived at Week 5 of SSTIR Crazy 2025, and this might be the most critical challenge yet! Sustainability Week is here, and the stakes have never been higher for StayWise Rentals.

However, 43% admit to feeling guilty when their choices fall short. This reveals a growing trend: while there's a demand for sustainability, travelers still struggle to act on it—unless the choice is made easy for them. That's exactly the challenge StayWise Rentals is facing this week. As competitors successfully market their eco-friendly rentals and attract sustainability-conscious travelers, StayWise is falling behind. Their properties are energy inefficient, their waste management is outdated, and they haven't figured out how to make sustainability work without breaking the bank. Enter Bob Garner—a sustainability expert and founder of EnviroRental—who joins Heather Bayer to help StayWise Rentals navigate their sustainability crisis. Bob brings decades of experience in vacation rental sustainability and shares practical, no-nonsense advice for property managers who want to future-proof their businesses while keeping costs in check.

With StayWise Rentals in crisis, our expert Dana Lubner from Rent Responsibly joins us to break down the strategies for compliance, advocacy, and overcoming regulatory hurdles. The StayWise Rentals Incident After weeks of dealing with trust issues, safety failures, and an insurance disaster, Sarah and Mike Chen at StayWise Rentals were blindsided by a notice from their local municipality. New short-term rental regulations had just been passed, and StayWise had only 60 days to comply with a long list of requirements: Mandatory fire safety upgrades across all properties. New occupancy limits based on square footage. A requirement to have a local representative available 24/7. A $1,500 licensing fee per property. Surprise city inspections—two properties even received cease and desist orders. With property owners panicked, guests caught in the crossfire, and mounting compliance costs, StayWise is at a crossroads. Can they navigate this storm without losing their business?

If you're managing short-term rentals, you know how vital dynamic pricing tools are to maximizing your revenue. Platforms like PriceLabs and Wheelhouse integrate seamlessly with Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com, making it easier to adjust rates daily. However, what many hosts don't realize is that the price you see in your tool often doesn't match the final cost your guests pay. These hidden costs—from platform commissions to payment processing fees—can significantly impact your pricing strategy and overall revenue management. In this episode, I'll break down 6 hidden factors affecting the prices your guests see. Whether it's Airbnb commission fees, property management software charges, or local taxes, understanding these details is key to staying competitive. We'll also discuss how cancellation policies, STR promotions, and discounts influence your listings on platforms like Booking.com and VRBO. By the end, you'll have actionable insights to fine-tune your short-term rental revenue management strategy for optimal results. Key Points: Channel Commission Fees: Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com charge varying fees that directly impact the final price your guests see. Stay informed to stay competitive. Property Management Software Charges: Tools like HostAway and Guesty often add hidden fees, which can inflate the price without your knowledge. Payment Processing Fees: Credit card fees, often around 3%, are passed on to guests or deducted from your revenue, depending on the platform. Cancellation Policies & Rate Plans: Offering flexible or non-refundable booking options can change guest pricing significantly and impact your revenue strategy. Taxes & Local Fees: STR taxes, like transient occupancy fees, can vary widely by location and platform. Make sure your listings on Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com are aligned. Pricing isn't just about setting competitive rates—it's about understanding the ecosystem of fees and commissions that affect your listings. By diving into these dynamic pricing insights, you'll be better equipped to maximize your short-term rental revenue and deliver great guest experiences.
