Big changes are quietly reshaping the Airbnb landscape—and short-term rental hosts could be paying the price. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down Airbnb's latest policy updates, including the new “buy now, pay later” option, increased risk of chargebacks, and unsettling payout delays. These behind-the-scenes changes may give guests more flexibility, but they shift significant financial risk onto hosts—potentially leaving them with empty calendars, frozen payouts, and unexpected losses. If you're an Airbnb host, vacation rental owner, or real estate investor, this is a must-listen episode to help you protect your business, your cash flow, and your peace of mind.

GenAI has moved past the “what if” stage. Now it's more like, “what else can we use this for?” And that change in mindset is reshaping the day-to-day—from big-picture strategy to the smallest tasks. In this episode, Drew Neisser talks with Karen Feldman (Iron Mountain), Adriana Gil Miner (Iterable), and Jeff Morgan (Elements), three marketing leaders who've made GenAI part of their daily toolkit. They're applying GenAI to content engines, campaign strategy, customer journeys—and they're seeing results that are hard to ignore.  Here's what you'll hear: How IBM used Adobe Firefly to produce 10x more content and beat campaign benchmarks by 26x. The Iterable ad challenge that doubled demo requests and surfaced unexpected creative talent. Why GenAI is showing up in customer journeys, sales enablement, and day-to-day ops. How small teams are using tools like Descript, RAG, and custom GPTs to scale smartly. What it looks like when AI becomes a creative partner, not just a shortcut.  Plus: How to steer clear of the GenAI “sea of sameness” Why personalization at scale is finally within reach The shift from doing more to doing better If you're trying to move from GenAI curiosity to confident action, this one's worth a listen.

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Sarah Krasnik Bedell, Director, Growth Marketing at Prefect. Summary: What happens when a data engineer with an obsession for truth-testing crashes into marketing's sacred cows? Sarah's journey from code to campaigns unfolds like a detective story, where she picks apart marketing myths and rebuilds them with an engineer's precision. Her fresh take transforms marketing tools from black boxes into purposeful instruments, while her approach to AI echoes "Limitless" - it's not about letting machines take the wheel, but supercharging human creativity. Whether you're wrestling with developer outreach or trying to get sales and marketing teams to actually talk to each other, Sarah's technical-meets-tactical perspective offers a compelling roadmap for modern marketing that actually works.About SarahSarah studied math and cognitive science before completing a masters in data scienceShe started her career at Amsted working on data aggregation and machine learning models and eventually moved to a customer-centric role where she helped engineer data architecture for supply chain optimizationsShe had short stints in financial forecasting and company-wide data architectureShe then joined Perpay as a data engineer focused on product analytics as well as reverse-ETL for their marketing team. She was eventually promoted to Lead data eng, managing the full team of data engineers She's an Analytics and GTM Advisor for devtoolsToday she's Director of Growth Marketing at Prefect, a workflow orchestration tool for data and ML engineersUnconventional Paths From Data Engineering to Marketing LeadershipThe traditional career trajectory rarely follows a straight line, particularly in Sarah's fascinating pivot from data engineering to marketing. While leading the data engineering team at Perpay, she found herself knee-deep in an Iterable implementation project that would unknowingly alter her professional DNA. This wasn't just another technical integration; it was a complex orchestration of customer data streams, product catalogs, and audience segmentation capabilities that secretly doubled as an apprenticeship in modern marketing mechanics.Marketing technology projects have a peculiar way of revealing their true nature over time. What begins as lines of code and data pipelines often transforms into something far more intriguing: a window into the soul of marketing operations. Sarah discovered that while her peers remained captivated by the elegance of their code, she found herself increasingly magnetized by the downstream impact of these technical solutions. This subtle shift in perspective proved transformative, compelling her to venture beyond the comfortable confines of engineering meetings and into the dynamic world of marketing strategy sessions.The pandemic's isolation birthed unexpected opportunities, as Sarah's technical writing began attracting attention in the data community. What started as casual documentation of her engineering adventures morphed into paid writing engagements, creating a surprising bridge between technical expertise and marketing communications. This organic evolution suggested something more profound lurking beneath the surface, a hidden pathway connecting the precision of data engineering with the artistry of marketing strategy.The final pieces of her transition fell into place through a combination of hands-on consulting work, mentorship from industry veterans, and immersion in marketing literature. Her participation in the Reforge community added structured learning to her toolkit, while her unique perspective as a former technical buyer provided invaluable insights into marketing dynamics. This multifaceted approach to learning, mixing practical experience with theoretical knowledge, transformed what might have seemed like an improbable leap into a natural progression.Key takeaway: Career transitions in technology rarely require formal education; they thrive on practical experience and curiosity. The most valuable skills often develop through side projects, technical writing, and a willingness to understand the business impact of your work. For those considering a similar path, start by documenting your technical experiences, engaging with cross-functional teams, and focusing on how your current role impacts business outcomes rather than just technical implementations.First Principles Marketing Against Best PracticesMarketing orthodoxy often goes unchallenged, with practitioners blindly following conventional wisdom without questioning its validity. Sarah brings a refreshing perspective to this dilemma, approaching marketing strategies with an engineer's skepticism and a commitment to first principles thinking. This natural inclination to question established norms stems from her background in data engineering, where decisions require rigorous validation rather than mere acceptance of industry standards.The notion that Tuesday morning at 8 AM represents the optimal time for email sends exemplifies the kind of unexamined marketing wisdom that pervades the industry. Rather than accepting such practices at face value, Sarah advocates for a two-pronged approach: first envisioning the ideal outcome, then assessing what's practically achievable within existing constraints. This methodology creates space for innovation while maintaining pragmatic boundaries, allowing marketers to challenge assumptions without losing sight of business objectives.The parallel between architectural decisions in software engineering and strategic choices in marketing reveals an interesting pattern. Just as engineers must carefully consider system architecture before writing code, marketers benefit from establishing solid strategic foundations before diving into tactical execution. This shift in focus from immediate implementation to thoughtful strategy design represents a more sophisticated approach to marketing operations, one that prioritizes intentional decision-making over reflexive adoption of industry practices.In the context of accelerating AI adoption, this first-principles approach becomes even more crucial. Rather than immediately jumping to content creation or campaign execution, successful marketing strategies begin with fundamental questions about audience selection, engagement methods, and value proposition. This methodical approach ensures that technological tools serve strategic objectives rather than dictating them, maintaining human judgment at the core of marketing decisions.Key takeaway: Transform your marketing approach by questioning established practices and applying first-principles thinking. Start by clearly defining your ideal outcome, then work backward to create practical strategies that challenge conventional wisdom. This method often reveals more effective approaches than blindly following industry "best practices." When evaluating any marketing tactic, ask yourself: "What problem are we really trying to solve, and is this truly the most effective solution?"Systems Thinking Applications For Marketing AnalyticsSystems thinking represents the essential bridge between marketing and data engineering, offering a framework for understanding how data flows through modern marketing operations. The ability to visualize and architect data pathways across platforms separates proficient marketing technologists from those merely executing tactical campaigns. This foundational skill proves invaluable when orchestrating the complex dance of customer data across marketing systems.Consider the journey of a single lead signal as it traverses through various marketing platforms.

Recent editorial headlines and social media posts suggest the resignation of Harvard's president, combined with shifting public sentiment, are signals that DEI initiatives are losing their grip on education and government. In this week's episode, Mike and Elizabeth discuss why a few small cracks in the DEI facade are unlikely to turn the tide. We are very skeptical that the overall strength and vastness of DEI influences have been diminished and see more evidence of continued vulnerability to a belief system that is baked into the consciousness of so many. Policies, procedures, and commitments have been made that will require institutional compliance with DEI initiatives for many years to come, and DEI administrators, true believers or not, are unlikely to abandon their posts. Mike wonders if shifts in public sentiment will further fuel the skepticism and distrust already reflected in public sentiments about elite institutions.

Boundaries are not meant to keep people out, but to set a clear understanding of what is acceptable and what is not within our relationships   At a few of our events, we have gotten questions from older parents who ask what to do about adult children who have cut them out of their lives.  At first we were surprised by this question, since the parents who attend our events are usually not ax-murderers or reprobates.  But then we realized that this seems to be a disturbing trend in our culture - young people who find fault with their parents and therefore choose to disown them.  Because we serve parents, we wanted to give a different take on the “wisdom of the world” and challenge our listeners to set boundaries and be healthy, but in a way that still honors the commandment that God gave us to honor your mother and father.  Yes, some of us have grown up in dysfunctional homes, but that does not mean that our families of origin should still have power over us.  Listen in as we help color in some gray to a discussion that is far from black and white.     Key Takeaways: No one should have the right to “push our buttons”.  We need to be free in our relationships even when people are unhealthy. Boundaries are good things to keep our families peaceful. You can't replace your family - for good or for bad, they belong to you and you belong to them.  One of the Ten Commandments is to honor your father and mother.  This is God's idea, not ours and it needs to be taken very seriously   Couple Discussion: How can we honor our father and mother appropriately?   How would we want our children to treat us someday?  What are good boundaries for our holiday visits with family?    Resources Dennis Prager Video: https://www.prageru.com/video/your-parents-dont-deserve-this?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_8266139 Great article from Catholic Psych - https://www.catholicpsych.com/blog/a-catholic-approach-to-dealing-with-difficult-relationships  Forgiveness- Shalom series https://www.shalomworld.org/episode/forgiveness-in-the-family-susan-and-urby-potvin

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mt 9:9-13 - As Jesus passed by, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow Me." And he got up and followed Him. While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and His disciples. The Pharisees saw this and said to His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" He heard this and said, "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."

Growing up on a farm in Denmark, Kirsten was far from the world of beauty she found herself in NYC. While her upbringing was not conventional, Kirsten knew she was destined for greatness and listened to her gut from a very young age. Kirsten Kjaer Weis worked around the world for some of the most renowned fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle and Marie Claire. As an in-demand makeup artist, Kirsten found that people were sacrificing the health of their skin by using irritating, synthetic makeup.

Kirsten used her experience growing up in a natural environment and her knowledge of beauty to pursue uncharted territory in the industry, creating Kjaer Weis - a pioneer in organic, luxury beauty. Kirsten has led the brand since 2010 and it continues to thrive as one of the leading clean beauty brands.Kirsten also shares:How she pioneered the “organic” and clean beauty spaceHow the brand offers sustainable packaging optionsHow the brand has evolved over the last decadeHow the brand remains true to its ethos and avoids “trends” in beautyYou'll also hear Kirsten's advice to her younger self and what's next for Kjaer Weis.Be sure to check out Kjaer Weis at www.kjaerweis.com and on Instagram @kjaerweisWe hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Kirsten's journey and the growth of her brand.

The Biden Administration launched a broad-based effort by federal agencies to “improve the quality of life for renters.” The announcement comes at a time when 40% of renters are struggling to keep up with their rent payments, but raises questions about how to make housing affordable in a way that is fair for both renters and landlords. (1)   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   U.S. Rent Growth   Rents have been soaring across the country, as housing demand continues to outpace supply, but it has also been slowing down as the Federal Reserve works to slow inflation with rate hikes. According to Zillow, typical U.S. asking rents are $1,981, which represents a yearly growth rate of 7.4%. That's down from a peak of 17.1% last February. (2)   Rents and rent growth vary wildly from market to market. In Miami, year-over-year rent growth is 11.7% while Las Vegas is showing a negative .9% increase. A few other examples include Cincinnati with a rent growth rate of 10.2% and Indianapolis, at 9.6%.   Federal Renter Protection Effort   Getting back to the renter protection announcement, let's look at some of the top calls to action:   1 - The Federal Trade Commission or FTC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will be investigating ways that tenants are being unfairly prevented from getting into housing or removed from housing they already have. Some of the practices they will be investigating include the use of background checks, tenant screening algorithms, adverse action notices for rejecting applicants, and information on an applicant's source of income.    2 - Those two agencies will also issue guidance for the credit reporting process, and coordinate enforcement efforts to ensure the accuracy of the information. They will also hold background check companies accountable if they engage in unfair procedures.   3 - The Federal Housing Finance Agency or FHFA will be involved with renter protections that include limits on excessive rent increases. The agency describes it as a public process that prioritizes transparency with updates, including one within the first six months. The FHFA will also encourage affordability for the multifamily market with affordability requirements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans.   4 - The Department of Justice is expected to issue guidance on the prevention of anti-competitive information sharing in the rental market.   5 - The Department of Housing and Urban Development or HUD will work on new rules that require at least 30 days notice before a lease is terminated for a public housing tenant who stopped paying rent.   6 - The Biden Administration plans to hold quarterly meetings with tenants and tenant advocates to make sure their voices are heard.   Blueprint for Renters Bill of Rights   All this is part of the so-called “Blueprint for a Renters Bill of Rights. The guiding principles include:   1 - Safe, Quality, Accessible, and Affordable Housing 2 - Clear and Fair Leases 3 - Education, Enforcement, and Enhancement of Renter Rights 4. - The Right to Organize   Housing Providers Involvement   Several housing provider groups are also participating in this effort.   The National Association of Realtors or NAR and its affiliate, The Institute of Real Estate Management, have made a commitment to promote resident-centered property management practices. That might include the use of alternative credit scores for applicants who don't have much of a credit history or the sharing of information with an applicant about Housing Choice Vouchers or rental assistance programs.   The National Apartment Association and the National Multifamily Association have also made commitments to promote resident-centered management practices. That might include help for tenants who want to improve their credit scores by reporting positive rent payments to credit bureaus.   While those agencies are promising those contributions, they are also speaking out against rent control. As mentioned in a Bigger Pockets blog: “Numerous studies have found that the long-term effects of rent control hurt the people these policies intend to help.” (3)   Why Rent Control Fails   There are studies by the Brookings Institution and Stanford that show rent control may provide short-term relief for renters but decrease housing affordability over the long-term. That's because landlords get out of the business, which reduces the amount of available housing, increases demand, and leads to higher rents.   The National Apartment Association says that rent control discourages the creation of affordable rental housing including new construction and rental housing renovations. The National Bureau of Economic Research says that rent control keeps smaller families from downsizing and opening up rental space for new larger households.   There are several detailed well-informed arguments against rent control, but at the heart of the issue is what is truly happening with rent inflation. Currently, rent growth is coming down. Yes, it is still growing year-over-year, and yes, a large chunk of the renter population is rent-burdened. That calls for a solution, but rent control is only a short-term solution. And it's very difficult to get rid of it once it's in place.    According to Bigger Pockets, the National Multifamily Housing Council would like to see direct subsidies to low-income renters and builders who create affordable housing. Many housing industry insiders also say that rental housing policy should be regulated at the state and local level.   Why Federal Rental Policy is a Bad Idea   In a CNN article, NAR's Kenny Parcell warns of the negative impact of federal policies saying they can “potentially drive housing providers out of the market” and make housing more expensive over the long-term. He also says: “Expanding the federal government's role in rental policy also places an even greater undue burden on mom-and-pop providers.” (4)   NAR said high rents are the result of a supply and demand imbalance, and that more affordable housing is needed to keep rents from rising like they have been. The NAA's Bob Pinnegar says: ““For months the National Apartment Association worked with the White House in good faith.” He says: “We stand by our commitment to promote industry resident services and practices, (but we are opposed) to expanded federal involvement in the landlord and tenant relationship. Complex housing policy is a state and local issue and the best solutions utilize carrots over sticks.”   That's it for today.   If you'd like to learn more about landlord tenant relationships and property management, you'll find several articles at newsforinvestors.com under the Learning tab.

Connect with the hosts Michael: @mkennedy@fosstodon.org Brian: @brianokken@fosstodon.org Show: @pythonbytes@fosstodon.org Michael #1: StackOverflow 2022 Developer Survey Last year we saw Git as a fundamental tool to being a developer. This year it appears that Docker is becoming a similar fundamental tool for Professional Developers, increasing from 55% to 69%. Language: Rust is […] the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it. JS Frameworks: Angular.js is in its third year as the most dreaded. Let me Google that for you: 62% of all respondents spend more than 30 minutes a day searching for answers or solutions to problems. 25% spending more than an hour each day. The demise of the full-stack developer is overrated. I do wish there were more women in the field. Databases: Postgres is #1 and MongoDB is still going strong. The “which web framework do you use?” question is a full on train wreck. Why is this so hard for people to write the question? Node.js or Express (built on Node) vs. FastAPI or Flask (but no Python?) Most wanted / loved language is Rust (wanted) and Python/Rust tied for most wanted. Worked with vs. want to work with has some interesting graphics. Brian #2: PePy.tech - PyPI download stats with package version breakdown Petru Rares Sincraian We've discussed pypistats.org before, which highlights daily downloads downloads per major/minor Python version downloads per OS PyPy is a bit more useful for me default shows last few versions and total for this major version “select versions” box is editable. clicking in it shows dropdown with downloads per version already there you can add * for graph of total or other major versions if you want to compare daily/weekly/monthly is nice, to round out some noise and see larger trends Oddity I noticed - daily graph isn't the same dates as the table. off by a day on both sides not a big deal, but I notice these kinds of things. Michael #3: Codon Python Compiler via Jeff Hutchins and Abdulaziz Alqasem A high-performance, zero-overhead, extensible Python compiler using LLVM You can scale performance and produce executables, even when using third party libraries such as matplotlib. It also supports writing and executing GPU kernels, which is an interesting feature. See how it works at exaloop.io BTW, really terrible licensing. Free for non-commercial (great) “Contact us” for commercial use (it's fine to charge, but give us a price) Brian #4: 8 Levels of Using Type Hints in Python Yang Zhou (yahng cho) A progression of using type hints that seems to track how I've picked them up Type Hints for Basic Data Types. x: int Define a Constant Using Final Type DB: Final = '``PostgreSQL' (ok. I haven't used this one at all yet) Adding multipe type hints to one variable. int | None Using general type hints. def func(nums: Iterable) Also using Optional Type hints for functions def func(name: str) → str: (I probably would put this at #2) Alias of type hints (not used this yet, but looks cool) PostsType = dict[int, str] new_posts: PostsType = {1: 'Python Type Hints', 2: 'Python Tricks'} Type hints for a class itself, i.e. Self type from typing import Self class ListNode: def __init__(self, prev_node: Self) -> None: pass Provide literals for a variable. (not used this yet, but looks cool) from typing import Literal weekend_day: Literal['Saturday', 'Sunday'] weekend_day = 'Saturday' weekend_day = 'Monday' # will by a type error Extras Brian: I hear a heartbeat for Test & Code, so it must not be dead yet. Michael: New article: Welcome Back RSS From this I learned about Readwise, Kustosz, and Python's reader. Year progress == 100% PyTorch discloses malicious dependency chain compromise over holidays (of course found over RSS and reeder — see article above) Joke: vim switch
