Connect with me at https://experimentrealestate.com/connectGet the FREE Mid-Term Rental Insurance Blueprint: https://experimentrealestate.com/#blueprint In this solo briefing, Ruben breaks down Airbnb's move to a single host-only fee (15.5%) for listings managed through property management software (PMS)—what's changing, when it hits, and what it means for operators. He clarifies the Aug 25 & Oct 27, 2025 timelines and why this shift underscores a hard truth: Airbnb optimizes for guests first, not hosts.Ruben shares the immediate, practical fix: adjust PMS channel markups (not your global pricing tool) so Airbnb prices reflect the new fee without mispricing you across other OTAs. Then he zooms out to strategy—leverage Airbnb's traffic, but don't depend on it. Diversify across VRBO/Expedia/Furnished Finder/Zillow, build direct-booking pathways through brand presence in-stay, and set business guardrails (no auto IB if it breaks your ops).You'll also hear how to turn Airbnb visibility into long-term relationships, protect margins with smarter pricing ops, and operate like a true B2B temp-housing brand. This isn't “Airbnb or nothing”—it's Airbnb and a resilient distribution stack.Tune in now to learn exactly how to update your pricing, protect profits, and future-proof your portfolio while still riding Airbnb's massive demand engine.Get the Midterm Rental Insurance Blueprint: https://experimentrealestate.com/#blueprint#ShortTermRentals #AirbnbHost #PMS #MidTermRentals #HospitalityOps #RevenueManagement #OTAstrategy #ExperimentNation

You didn't start a construction business to be busy and broke. But if you're bidding to win instead of bidding to perform, that's exactly where you'll end up.In this solo podcast episode, Scott Peper, our CEO and Founder, doubles down on the real math behind construction bidding - and the four mistakes that quietly destroy contractor margins, cash flow, and long-term profitability.You'll learn:- Why bidding to “get the job” (instead of to make a profit) guarantees failure- The #1 error growing contractors make with overhead and debt service- Margin vs. Markup -  why mixing them up costs more than you think- The truth about retainage - and why treating it like revenue breaks your business- How to bid for performance so your jobs win on paper, in the field, and on your P&L- Why your revenue doesn't matter if your bottom line isn't growing with itThis episode is a crash course in cost awareness, cash flow discipline, and true profitability - especially for contractors stuck at the $5–10M revenue mark and wondering why they're making less than they did at $3M.

The House Committee on Natural Resources approves three Indian Country bills at a markup on July 23, 2025. The bills were approved by unanimous consent due to their bipartisan support. They follow: H.R. 2302, the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Land Transfer Act of 2025 H.R. 2400, the Pit River Land Transfer Act of 2025 H.R. 3620, the Southcentral Foundation Land Transfer Act of 2025 The bills can now be considered by the full U.S. House of Representatives.

A lot of the heavy lifting for the 2026 defense authorization bill wrapped up in the House last week. That Chamber's Armed Services Committee finished its annual marathon markup session with a 55-2 vote that sent the bill to the House floor. And there were at least a couple of surprises from the Republican controlled committee areas where the bill contradicts some significant Trump administration priorities as we continue our coverage of this year's NDAA process, Federal News Network's Jared Serbu has details on that aspect of the legislation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It doesn't, and that mistake could be costing you tens of thousands of dollars every year.

Is AI-generated schema markup at scale effective? Martha Van Berkel, CEO of Schema App, explains why automated schema generation falls short of understanding business nuances and human search intent. She argues that while AI can create basic drafts, it cannot properly define the complex relationships needed for a complete knowledge graph, requiring human expertise to craft meaningful schema that truly represents business data models.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to In Reality, the podcast about truth and the media with Eric Schurenberg, a long-time journalist and media exec, now the founder of the Alliance for Trust in Media.It's not exactly news that the traditional news business is in decline. Most distressing to those of us who grew up in the profession: that audience levels of trust in the work we do has dropped to the lowest levels ever recorded. Today's guest, Julia Angwin, back for a second time on In Reality, is like Eric a product of the traditional news business. She worked at the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and also founded startup newsrooms like the Markup and, most recently, Proof News. But that's not why she's here today though...Julia recently penned research for Harvard's Shorenstein Center about what traditional newsrooms can learn from online influencers about trust. According to her paper, you earn trust by convincing others that you are competent to do what you say; that you have integrity and that you have their best interests in mind. Julia and I discuss how influencers support those beliefs about themselves, without benefit of institutional brand names; how traditional newsrooms squandered trust; and ,what journalism needs to do about it.Read Julia's Paper!
