This quarter of the Future of Agriculture podcast is made possible by Case IH: https://www.caseih.com/en-us/unitedstatesTwisted River Farm: https://www.twistedriverfarm.com/Follow Steve on X: https://x.com/TRFyeomanfarmerSteve Strasheim of Twisted River Farm. I've followed Steve on X for a long time now, and I've been really looking forward to getting him on the show for a few reasons. He focuses on a totally different model for farming that is radically different from the commodity mindset. Instead of economies of scale being the priority, his top priority is connection to his customers. Because of that he's able to build his business without the two biggest barriers for most farmers: access to a lot of land and a lot of capital. It's more the bootstrapped version of getting started in farming. And I've seen this market garden model work. There are well-known YouTubers like Curtis Stone in Canada that have inspired countless others to pursue this version of farming on small sections of other people's land and building a business on customer relationships rather than economies of scale. I can remember being inspired by finding Curtis Stone's content maybe a decade ago, but I thought it was a model that could only work in urban areas with very affluent consumers that only want to buy local. In Steve's case, he's in rural Iowa. Mitchell, Iowa, to be exact. About 12 miles south of the Minnesota border. Steve first became interested in local food in 2013, so in 2014 he began raising chickens. He did that as a side business and then in 2017 he ditched the chicken project for vegetables, which he said proved to be a much better fit for him from the very beginning. Since that time he has grown his operation to a few different locations that total around three acres of borrowed land. He mostly pays in produce. Although when we spoke he was in the process of buying a five acre property to centralize his operation. Steve is a great example of what it takes to build a direct to consumer business from scratch. His model includes growing produce most of the year, he has some hoop houses that help him extend his season. He sells at a couple of farmers markets and thorough a CSA - which stands for community supported agriculture. These are subscriptions that his customers pay for to get a box of fresh produce either weekly or every other week. He also sells to some grocery stores and restaurants but since COVID his focus has been mostly on the direct sales to the end customer. And all of this is a very rural area, which kind of blows my mind.Brought to you by Case IH: Case IH designs, engineers and produces cutting-edge farm equipment based on a comprehensive understanding of farmers' needs, wants and challenges, integrating these insights into their development and manufacturing.For example, take their Model Year 25 Magnum tractor. The new Magnum is purposefully designed to answer farmers' needs in every design and engineering choice. Improved horsepower for pulling heavier loads, faster. Bundled, integrated and ready-to-go precision tech for greater accuracy in the field. And a transmission farmers can tweak for improved control and performance in different tasks. That kind of design thinking is exactly where the future of ag is headed, and that's why you'll be hearing me talk to the folks at Case IH at different points throughout this quarter about what they do and how they're working to push the ag forward.

Episode 43: Recorded April 3, 2024 "They're built to be a service dog in terms of physicality and temperament..." Australian animal trainer Steve Austin, on the Greyhound as a breed suitable for therapy dog training Show Notes Steve Austin had a knack for training animals at an early age. Growing up in New South Wales, Australia, he realized the value of positive reinforcement for dog training. As a teenager, Steve and his first dog -- a stray by the name of Sooty -- entertained the crowds on paydays at the local pub. Sooty was trained to balance a "schooner" of beer on his head. In Steve's words, "When he got it right, I made a lot of money that night..." Steve describes Sooty as rough, tough, black and mean -- a dog that would live to the age of 17. "He loved me, and I loved him." Along with dog obedience competitions, Steve fed his passion for animal training, and his skills as a trainer would expand beyond dogs to other animal species, including elephants and pigs. Steve's accomplishments include training animals for TV and film, prison dog behavior programs, and preparing PTSD dogs for Australian soldiers returning from combat. His book -- Working Dog Heroes -- is a heartfelt memoir of all these experiences as a trainer. In this episode, host John Parker explores Steve's latest initiative -- training former Australian racing Greyhounds as police therapy dogs in the United States. Steve shares the inception of the partnership with Greyhound Racing New South Wales and the results of the first Greyhound placements. He discusses the characteristics of the Greyhound breed that make them suited for training, and he waxes poetic about his expectations of his first ever personal Greyhound adoption.

Today's special guest Steve Rizzo, a notable motivational speaker and former comedian, is here to talk about his hilarious book Conversations with Bob, which he devoted seven years to writing. The title character, Bob, is a higher being/God that appears to Bernie, a newly crossed over, negative minded soul, as an old Hippie. But Bob is not as he appears. He is wise, brilliant, all-knowing, and really funny. The conversations between the two make you laugh, and will prompt you to start a dialogue between your own Inner Bob and your own Inner Bernie. Steve describes the book as a mission for all of us to adhere to. He wants to spend the rest of his life spreading his entertaining, thought-provoking, timeless message. Steve Rizzo was a national headline comedian, with opening acts such as Drew Carey, Rosie O'Donnell, and Chris Rock. He shared the marquee with Ellen DeGeneres, Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, and Jerry Seinfeld. He starred in his own Showtime comedy special, earning him honors as a Showtime Comedy All-Star.  Steveis a member of the prestigious Speakers Hall of Fame—an honor bestowed on fewer than 200 speakers worldwide since 1977. However, he didn't start out this way. His is a story that people will resonate with, similar to the theme in “Rocky,” where the underdog rises to the occasion and takes his place amongst the winners. In Steve's case, he was voted least likely to succeed in high school. That didn't stop him. He went on to prove the naysayers wrong by graduating with high honors at the university and postgraduate level. In a full-circle moment, he returned to teach at his high school, changing the narrative others had written for him.

#150 Why you should be aware of ISO 17021 ahead of your next Certification Body visit

If you are going for certification, or currently manage a certified ISO Management System, then you should also be aware of ISO 17021 ahead of any Assessments or Surveillance audits conducted by an accredited Certification Body. ISO 17021 sets out requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems. It ensures that Certification Bodies provide a reliable assessment of compliance with the applicable requirements, carried out by a competent impartial audit team, to achieve a consistent result for all clients. So, why should you be aware of this Standard in particular? ISO 17021 also establishes what you as a client should expect from your Certification Body. Steve Mason, Managing Consultant at Blackmores, joins Mel to discuss what ISO 17021 is, why you should be aware of it and the requirements related to expected service delivery from Certification Bodies. You'll learn ●      What is ISO 17021 ●      The difference between accredited and non-accredited certification bodies ●      A brief overview of the Standard and client related requirements   Resources ●      isologyhub ●      International Accreditation Forum ●      ISO 17021   In this episode, we talk about: [01:40] Why are we talking about ISO 17021 now? In our internal Team Meetings, Certification Bodies are an established talking point. Highlighting the good and the bad, but in recent months it's been more on the negative side. Steve had highlighted ISO 17021 as the Standard to look at in regard to expected service delivery requirements from Certification Bodies – so here we are! [03:00] What is ISO 17021? The reason for the standard is that it ensures that all certification bodies are delivering the same level of service to all customers. Certification Bodies don't need to be certified to other standards such as ISO 9001, as ISO 17021 was specifically designed for the purpose of delivering certifications. It's also the standard where you can find out what's expected of Certification Bodies – like a Terms and Conditions or service level agreement. [05:00] The difference between accredited and non-accredited Certification Bodies - Go back and watch episode 19 to learn more. [06:10] Why is it important that the Certification Body is accredited? –  Accreditation proves that the Certification Body is being checked by another body. Accreditation is also recognised worldwide – it's trusted as a gold standard of performance. There are many different accreditation bodies around the world, here in the UK it's UKAS, but there are others such as ANAB in the US. Check out the International Accreditation Forum website to confirm the accreditation body for your country. [08:10] Ultimately, a Certification Body can't offer accredited certification services unless they've actually been assessed by the applicable accreditation body to ISO 17021, and they need to do that on an ongoing basis like any other certification. They also may not be accredited to deliver every standard they offer – so make sure you verify with the certification body that they are in fact accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 27001 ect. [09:15] A brief overview of what's included in ISO 17021 – A lot of the clauses before this are really about the management of certification body, but when it comes to clause 9, this is where the customer becomes a lot more involved in the requirements. It covers topics such as planning audits, conducting audits, certification decision making, maintaining certification, the appeals process, the complaints process and then keeping client records. Clause 9 in particular is where you, as a client, should focus. [11:00] What core principles are described in ISO 17021? - Impartiality, competence, responsibility, openness, confidentiality, responsiveness to complaints, risk based approach and legal responsibilities. [12:20] What personal behaviors should you expect from your assessor? – In Steve's experience, he's seen more and more assessors not living up to the requirements of ISO 17021. This could be for a number of reasons, i.e. they could have an uncooperative client, they may not have had adequate training, perhaps there's a break down between clients and client managers. Either way, these are a few of the qualities that Assessors should embody: ethical, fair, truthful, sincere, honest, discrete and open-minded. [14:00] A lack of open mindedness -  Steve had encountered an Assessor that stated ‘This must be wrong because I've never seen it done that way' – which is not open minded in the least. This resulted in a non-conformity which should have never been raised. ISO 17021, clause 9.4.5 states that any non-conformity raised shall be recorded against a specific requirement in the Standard being audited. Assessors need to take heed not to assess to their preference. [15:15] Top Tip -  If you get asked a question, then give an answer and they raise that as a non-conformity that you're unsure as to why it's being raised - it's always worth asking the Assessor to show you where in the standard they're raising the non-conformity against. It's a case of clarifying the question and verifying what they're raising a non-conformity against, and if there's a justification for it. If there is, then great, they're doing a great job! If not, it may be the Assessor's personal bias, and there's a chance you can get that non-conformity down to an opportunity for improvement.

In Steve's post Why Open Source Matters, he says “open source is at a crossroads” and there are some seeking to break the definition of open source to one that is more permissive to their desires, and they are closer than ever to achieving that goal.

Imagine if letting go of false hopes could unfreeze your life and bring about incredible transformation.  Go here to listen →  https://atticusadvantage.com/episode044 That's exactly what Rory Clark did. Through courageously ending parts of his life that were no longer serving him, Rory intentionally laid the foundation for purposeful new beginnings. He burnt it all down to build something remarkable from the ashes. His bold choices have reshaped his law practice and his personal life in ways that bring him great joy. Rory's journey from being a large firm refugee to a successful elder law attorney is a testament to the power of saying no. He could reconstruct his practice with a multi-disciplinary approach by carefully selecting what he turned down. His personal experiences, such as the birth of his son with autism and other family struggles, greatly influenced his professional path. This transition away from traditional law and towards a comprehensive care network enabled him to bring immense value to families navigating life's continuum. In Steve's discussion with Rory, you'll gather wisdom on knowing when and how to say no, both in personal and professional relationships. But it's not just about ending things. It's about the purposeful beginnings that arise from those endings. We'll also explore the value of setting boundaries and expectations, managing capacity, and mentoring in business.  Rory's story is a vivid example of how strategically saying no can help us build a richer, more meaningful life. In this episode, you will hear: Rory Clark's quest of intentionally ending things to create new beginnings in both his personal and professional life The importance of being selective and strategic in choosing what to focus on and the need for necessary endings to create space for growth His personal experiences, including the birth of his son with autism and family struggles, that led him to transition from traditional law to a multi-disciplinary approach, including a care network The challenges and wisdom of maintaining healthy relationships both personally and professionally, including the importance of setting clear boundaries and expectations How saying no to certain things and understanding the value of necessary endings can help create a stronger focus on the goals and values of Rory's firm Building a culture of delegation and leadership in his firm, leading to a profitable marketing strategy, by taking time off and challenging his team How strategically saying “no” can help construct a more fulfilling life and a thriving professional or personal environment Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Steve's journey to recovery from addiction began in 1992 and has become the foundation of his life and work. He is Chief Executive Officer at Feinberg Consulting, a company that helps families manage addiction, mental health issues and family healthcare crises. Feinberg's reason for being is to help those in crisis get the right kind of help fast. Sadly, too many people go through the healthcare system over and over with little results. Feinberg's goal is to give families and those in trouble the resources to get the right help fast and make it stick.  In Steve's words: I have over 40 years of experience as a business owner and entrepreneur. I'm a trained interventionist, and I work with hundreds of families, helping to create positive outcomes in addiction, mental health, family crisis interventions and healing. I have made my passion my career, and I am proud to be part of Feinberg Consulting, a great group of people involved in personal growth, interventions, mental health, addiction recovery and self-care. I love what I do and am grateful for every part of my journey that has led me here. My philosophy is that balance, continual effort towards optimal self-care, and ongoing personal development are everything when it comes to being your best.            3 top tips for my audience: 1. Don't lose hope. Healing really is really possible even if you feel like you've tried everything. 2. If a loved one has an addiction or mental health challenge, you have the power to adjust your approach and attitude to dealing with it, and that can make all the difference. 3. An Intervention can combat the denial inherent in addiction and mental health challenges. If the person of concern seems blind or unresponsive to the ways their behavior is affecting their friends and loved ones, this process can do wonders in reframing the way they think about their behavior.

Steve Wiideman, CEO of Wiideman Consulting Group, works with globally recognized brands helping them increase their organic traffic using SEO and SEM. With a portfolio of growing traffic for brands like Disney, IBM, and Sketchers, Steve knows the importance of search engine optimization and its effect on sales. When your SEO and SEM aren't optimized, you're leaving money on the table. When Steve isn't increasing Google ranking for household names, you can find him teaching at UC San Diego, Cal State Fullerton, and Fullerton Community College. Follow along if you're interested in learning about SEO and SEM best practices and how they can increase your Google ranking. As an Author of The Marketing textbook SEO strategy and skills, Steve understands that SEO is not a rule you must follow to win. It's really about focusing on the evergreen principles that carry over from every industry, product, and service you market for. SEO and SEM are forever changing, but the winning tactics and strategies remain the same. For instance, Google ranking will always be necessary, as well as inbound and outbound links. This understanding allows you to focus on things that will push the needle forward yet directs you to the concepts you need to update to stay relevant.SEO and Google ranking are what keep the lights on for many businesses. For example, during the pandemic, restaurants had to shut doors for indoor dining when everyone was under lockdown. Creative minds came up with the solution. Restaurants and eateries had to pivot to survive. Many introduced take-out or delivery and curbside pickup, yet customers had to be made aware of their new offer. That's where SEO and inbound marketing come into place. . Many restaurants had to update their SEO and create pages to educate their consumer on their new offer. The eateries that pivoted with the times are the ones that survived. In Steve's opinion, there is no “one thing” that you have to do or that you should do to rank high on Google. There is no magic formula for a new business to rank high for SEO. Steve recommends that new companies in competitive markets focus on building relationships within the same vertical as you so that you can get referrals rather than concentrate on SEO directly. Once you're established in your market, that's when you should focus intensely on SEO. Do things to start ranking for the competitive keywords. If you're well-versed in SEO you understand that top ranking doesn't happen overnight. It takes time to unroot a business that ranks #1. On the other end of the spectrum, if you're a new business in an unknown industry, you need to create a demand for what you're selling. SEO is not your number one priority because your audience doesn't even know you exist, so they can't search for you. You first need to create content to drive traffic to your website. Put yourself out there and collect email addresses. Build a list of subscribers to your blog or newsletter. Once your company is well known, that's when you focus on SEO. An essential aspect of SEO and ranking is understanding that it doesn't happen overnight. There are many things to focus on that drive SEO, and you can't use all the different methods and strategies at once because then you don't know what works for your brand and what doesn't. Take the time to learn about your consumer, what they are searching for, why they are searching, and what keywords they use. One of the best tools that Steve recommends for claiming a top Google ranking is Google Console. If you take the time to understand the information Google is gathering for you and learn about the keywords you need to rank for, you can progress in your SEO. Keep at it, and you'll rank in the top 5. In this episode:[2:40] Steve goes over his passions and how he became a professor at three collegesYou need to follow your passion to live a happy...

Steve Pockross has been in the startup scene for over 25 years before he started as the CEO of Verblio, a content creation platform. Verblio has been an Inc 5000 winner 2x, a Mercury growth winner 5x, and was named a Colorado Company to watch in 2020. Verblio has over 3,000 writers creating premium content at scale, in over 65 vertices, publishing over 120,000 unique content articles this year alone. In Steve's experience, what drives business forward is having a team of talented people. Putting together a great team should not be based solely on people's experience. Rather it's their unique talents that make them a top choice. Today he shares his One Big Tip on why hiring for talent is a better choice than hiring for the experience. Steve Pockross began his career in the nonprofit sector, where his focus was on community development. Steve found himself in Brazil, working for the Community Development Bank of Brazil, where he focused on their micro-lending programs. After that, Steve worked for non-profits in San Francisco until he jumped ship and began his career at  HSBC. Looking for something more fulfilling, Steve started working at LiveOps. At LiveOps, he worked with silicone valley innovators and began to piece together a new business model. The concept was to create an innovative model using unique freelance talent combined with a technology platform to help scale businesses into the next stratosphere. That is how Steve ended up as the VP of Business Development Strategy at a startup company. Having found success, Steve worked his way through several other startups until he settled as CEO of Verblio.com. Verblio, a content creation platform hires unique talent that can deliver content in over 65 vertices. To build a great company, you need to focus on the people you're hiring. To attract the right talent, you need to create a hiring funnel, so the people who best fit your company's culture come to you, not the other way around. At Verblio, they focus on the individual, not on the educational background and resume. Frequently, it's the ability to understand both sides of the equation that makes an individual a quality candidate. You ensure that the company brand remains on target when you hire for culture. Specific energy runs through the employees that keeps everyone happy and productive. The growth potential is profound when you hold the hiring process open to the right people who can jive with your business culture. When you find the right people, they bring on other people through referral, which is how you grow your business. Culture and productivity become your brand. These things provide you with a competitive advantage, although they are hard to measure in terms of ROI. The best part of hiring for talent is that the talent gives the company the energy required to grow and expand. The best part of his job, according to Steve, is talking to the newly acquired talent after their first three months and discussing the hiring process. Their feedback is typically the same. They love the culture of the workplace and the creative energy. These two things work together synergistically to provide momentum and productivity. This is why Steve chooses his team members based on the talents they bring to the table and not the degrees or experience they have listed on their resumes. Join us for today's episode of the One Big Tip to learn why growing your business will be easy when hiring people based on their talent and personality and not on their past work experience. In this episode[2:24] Steve talks about his varied work experienceWhere you start your journey is not always where you end upHow to take the best part of what you're doing in one position and apply it to another so you can transition professionally.[5:24] Combining curated freelance talent and technoSupport the show

While most athletes transfer schools due to a lack of playing time or coaching styles, Steve transfered because of EDUCATION. In Steve's point of view, he thought education was more important than athletics which is very true! Steve grew up in a home filled with aunts and uncles. He was the last one to receive anything from food to clothes. His uncles took him to the park at 6, 7 and 8 years old. They played basketball with him and treated him like an adult. He had to earn the right to shoot the ball. “That hunger and that edge was instilled in me just because I was last. I didn't want to be last forever.” Tune into this episode of the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast to hear Steve Harris share about athletics, education and making sacrifices.

Steve DeAngelo is the true definition of a cannabis advocate. From the first time he was introduced to the plant in the 1960's he has dedicated his life's work to its legalization. From his time as one of Washington, DC's largest distributors of underground cannabis, through his creation of three iconic cannabis companies in California, to his current role as an educator and advisor, Steve has a wealth of knowledge and inspiration to share.  As you'll hear in today's episode, there are various ways to legalize cannabis, some that can actually do more harm than good. In Steve's eyes (and now in ours after this conversation with Steve) New York is leading the charge in terms of progressive cannabis legislation, and the rest of the world would do well to take note!Join us today as we take a trip from the very beginnings of the cannabis-human relationship, which began in Central Asia, all the way through to the present, where this wondrous herb is used for everything from chronic pain to sparking creativity. Key points from this episode:Why Elana and Codi are such big fans of today's guest, Steve DeAngelo.Steve's initial motivation for becoming a cannabis activist.A brief rundown of what the first 25 years of Steve's cannabis activism looked like.The disillusioning experience which pushed Steve from Washington, DC to California.Three companies that Steve founded, each the first of its kind in a certain sector of the cannabis industry.What Steve's current role in the cannabis industry looks like.How perceptions around cannabis have changed since Steve became an activist, and the future he sees for the plant.Steve explains the progressive law which has put New York at the frontlines of the Cannabis Freedom Movement.The problem with the way California has handled cannabis legalization.How the corporatization of cannabis impacts those who rely on the plant for medical use.Why Steve believes there is no such thing as recreational cannabis. A brief history of the spirituality that has always been associated with cannabis.Steve shares a regret that he has from the early days of his cannabis activism.An important call to action from Steve.The Americans for Safe Access segment: diving into the microbial world.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Steve DeAngelo WebsiteLast Prisoner ProjectHarborsideSteep Hill LaboratoryThe Arcview GroupFlow KanaAmericans for Safe AccessCannigma

On this week's episode of The Mag Life Podcast, Daniel is joined by the immensely knowledgeable, Steve Tarani. With decades in the defense, law enforcement, and intelligence communities, Steve is a highly-respected firearm, defensive tactics, bladed weapons, and personal protection instructor. As of late, Tarani has specialized in awareness-based training, having incorporated this into his training classes as well as his books. Together, Daniel and Steve discuss the vital importance of soft skills versus hard skills, situational awareness training, and overcoming fear in a fight. https://media.blubrry.com/gunfightercast/content.blubrry.com/gunfightercast/193-Steve_Tarani.mp3 Host: Daniel Shaw Guest: Steve Tarani Introduction/Timeline: Eric Huh 00:37 What is your profession? Daniel starts off the conversation by asking what Steve's occupation entails. In a general sense, Steve Tarani would describe himself as a teacher of practical hard and soft skills. Hard skills is defined by talents or abilities that can be measured, often associated with on-the-job training such as programming, bookkeeping, foreign language skills, shooting, and the like. Soft skills by contrast relate more towards universal traits such as leadership, teamwork, communication, and adaptability. Over the decades of his teaching experience, Steve has leaned more toward soft skills as he finds these to be more applicable in day-to-day situations. Although he's made a career in training others, Steve constantly strives to keep his knowledge and skills up to date. In Steve's line of work, keeping up with the most current information in tactics and methodologies is essential. “So, I keep one foot in the training world and one foot in the ops world… I really don't want to be one of those guys ‘Hey twenty years ago when I did this…' ya know? Times change, people change, tactics change, gear changes. For your information to remain relevant to you, you to have to be in it, I think, day-to-day.” 04:26 Reacting to threats and close protection security The conversation shifts to the topic of close protection security and reacting to unexpected threats. Obviously, bodyguard work differs greatly from normal self-defense tactics. The vast majority of concealed carry shooters would react to a threat by immediately going for their gun and drawing. Steve reveals that in the world of close protection, he was taught that immediately going for the gun is a setup for failure. The time it takes to go for the firearm is ample time for the attacker to shoot at the VIP that you've been charged to protect. Instead, Steve was taught to prioritize observing threats in their entirety and to move the client away from danger. He uses the tragic incident of the Titanic as an analogy, saying if one could observe and see icebergs coming from a distance, it would make far more sense to simply avoid a head-on collision with them. In his eyes, the firearm is akin to a “lifeboat” on the Titanic, the last resort option and not a primary one. Processing and reacting to threats fall into three main categories: being proactive, active, and reactive. Taking notes from the book Left of Bang: How the Marine Corps' Combat Hunter Program Can Save Your Life by Jason Riley, Steve explains that the proactive and active phases are how we utilize our soft skills before a dangerous incident occurs or the “bang.” How we react after to the initial encounter with a threat is the reactive phase which forces out the hard skills. For example, soft skills such as using verbal de-escalation or analyzing a situation can avoid a conflict but should it occur anyways, the fighting abilities that come from hard skills come into play. 08:52 Soft skills vs hard skills in your everyday life Daniel asks Steve to explain the use of soft skills versus hard skills in the context of the average armed citizen.

Join Steve and Matt as they talk about a short-term rental deal they closed last July, which just went live this month. The listing is a cabin located in the Coosawattee River Resort, a gated neighborhood with multiple pools, a game room, and other amenities. So far, the multi-floor cabin has been booked well. Hence, they will take us through what the place looks like, and the work put into it. Not only that but Steve and Matt will also explain the other facets of real estate that they dove into to feed their multifamily projects. As always, there's plenty to take away from today's episode, so make sure to stay tuned and enjoy!   Providing Value to Gain Value At first, Steve and Matt go over some exciting features of their multi-floor cabin listing, from the indoor slide to the game room, the fire pit in the back, the neighborhood amenities, so on and so forth. Most hosts, often new to real estate, would dismiss these features, focusing on the basic amenities of a short-term rental. However, these two saw these features as an opportunity to add value to the listing. As with most short-term rentals, people often book them to take a break from their usual routine. But with the rise of online listings for vacation rentals, standing out among people's searches becomes more challenging. Steve said it best with “we only get compensated for anything when we are providing value.” In other words, to stay on top of searches and possibly increase bookings, it is essential for you as the host to provide an experience rather than just another room to spend a few nights in. In Steve and Matt's case, providing an experience is what they aimed for. Hence, they added an arcade machine to the game room, featured the indoor slide in the listing's gallery, and emphasized its location's outdoor amenities. Steve also explained how, with short-term rentals, you could afford to be more active in providing these unique features, unlike with long-term ones, where providing basic amenities is more than enough value-added. In the end, when hosting vacation rentals, providing value through short-term quality experiences yields long-term quality results.  Outline of the episode:  ●       [01:30] How there are countless different ways to earn in real estate. ●       [03:11] The general area of the listing's location and why it is on top of searches. ●       [05:54] Using professional photography and points of differentiation in the listing. ●       [08:05] What the game room looks like and why they chose to provide it. ●       [09:57] Attracting the widest audience with key features anyone can enjoy. ●       [12:01] What the neighborhood is like and why it is essential to include it in the listing. ●       [13:49] Finding properties like the multi-floor cabin and the different markets to consider. ●       [16:34] The costs that went into closing the deal and rehabilitating the property. ●       [18:29] How real estate is not a purely passive way to generate cash flow. ●       [21:06] Why you should avoid investing and running a property in your local area. ●       [25:10] Partnering up when you lack the money to invest but want to get started. ●       [26:49] How you can get involved in Steve and Matt's multifamily deals.  https://www.millionairesmindsetblueprint.com/ Resources: ●    Multi-floor Cabin Listing  Connect with The Cashflow Project! ●    Website ●    LinkedIn ●    Youtube ●    Facebook ●    Instagram
