In this episode of the Chasing Giants Podcast, Don Higgins and Terry Peer dive into several important topics for whitetail hunters and land managers. First, they explain the strategy behind permission properties and why now is the perfect time of year to start knocking on doors. Don shares how persistence and building relationships with landowners can unlock incredible hunting opportunities—even in states where you don't live. Next, Don and Terry explain the story behind Scrape Magnet, the new synthetic scent product developed under the Chasing Giants brand. They discuss the two-year process of testing the product across 9 states and 54 properties, how rope scrapes work, and why synthetic scents may become increasingly important as more states restrict gland-based scents due to CWD regulations. The episode also features a candid discussion about health and diet changes both hosts have made recently. Don shares how eliminating carbs dramatically improved his health after experiencing severe symptoms related to inflammation and blood pressure. Terry talks about his battle with rheumatoid arthritis and how a strict carnivore diet helped eliminate pain and inflammation. Finally, the Higgins Hot Seat returns with listener questions covering topics such as: - Managing mature bucks on small properties - Typical vs. non-typical racks - How much to practice shooting your bow - Girdling vs. cutting trees for bedding cover - Planting soybeans for deer food plots - Establishing Nutri-Crave corn plots If you're passionate about deer hunting, habitat improvement, and land management, this episode is packed with practical insight.

In this episode of Property & Paper Live, Dawn Rickabaugh discusses current shifts in the real estate market and why seller financing and private note investing are becoming increasingly important as traditional lending tightens. The conversation covers real-world scenarios from investors, including a burned property tied to a reverse mortgage and how lenders may claim insurance proceeds. Dawn also shares insights on reverse mortgage timelines, distressed assets, and opportunities that arise when institutional lenders offload problems. As market uncertainty grows, she explains why investors who understand both property and paper (especially the secondary market for notes) are uniquely positioned to create solutions and profitable deals outside the traditional banking system.

Dan shares how he built a diverse real estate background spanning property management, sales, flipping, private lending, and short-term rentals before narrowing his focus to revenue management for STR operators.

Dan discusses the evolution of the short-term rental market, from the post-pandemic gold rush to today's more competitive, professionalized environment.

In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA Chief Economist Jamie Lane sits down with Seth Borko, Head of Research at Skift, to unpack the 2026 travel outlook and what it really means for short-term rental hosts and property managers.The headline? Travel remains the world's top discretionary spending priority — even in an uncertain economy. While consumers are price-conscious and navigating a “K-shaped” recovery, they're not cutting trips. Instead, they're choosing cheaper flights, exploring more affordable destinations, and prioritizing accommodations and experiences over everything else. For STR operators, that's a powerful signal: the right property in the right market, positioned around the right experience, is still incredibly compelling.The conversation also dives into the rapid rise of AI in trip planning. Nearly half of U.S. travelers are already using AI tools for discovery and inspiration. While booking behavior hasn't fully shifted (yet), personalization is accelerating — and that could reshape loyalty, distribution, and direct booking strategies in the years ahead.You don't want to miss this episode.Practical Takeaways for STR Hosts & ManagersTravel is still the #1 discretionary spend. Even in uncertain times, consumers want to travel — they're just adjusting how they do it.Guests are saving on flights — not stays. Survey data shows travelers are cutting airfare costs first while prioritizing accommodations and experiences. Your property still matters.Experiences drive the trip. Today's traveler starts with “What do I want to experience?” and back-solves into destination and accommodation. Design and market your STR as part of that experience — not just a place to sleep.Affordable destinations have momentum. With travelers choosing less expensive markets, regional and domestic STR markets may benefit from trade-down behavior.AI is reshaping discovery. Travelers are increasingly using AI tools to compare destinations, activities, and accommodations. Properties with clear positioning, strong differentiation, and well-structured listing content will win in AI-powered search.Loyalty may be redefined. As personalization improves, guests may be more willing to switch brands or platforms if the offer is better. Value, flexibility, and frictionless booking will matter more than ever.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

In this livestream-style episode, Michael LaFido shifts from interviewing service providers to spotlighting a real-world success story from one of his Luxury Mastery coaching students, Felita, a Houston-based agent with 24 years of experience. Michael frames the conversation around opportunities—explaining the difference between cold opportunities (people who don't know/like/trust you yet) and warm opportunities (your sphere, CRM, and people who already know you). The main case study: Felita challenged her own limiting beliefs by hosting an open house at a $1.95M listing—nearly 3x higher than the most expensive open house she'd ever hosted (previously ~$650K). Despite little prep time (she hadn't toured the home in advance and didn't deploy as many signs as recommended), she generated strong traffic across the weekend and proved to herself that luxury buyers are “no different than everyone else”—they still respond to confidence, professionalism, and great questions. Michael and Felita unpack why this worked: the listing had been on the market for about 18 months, meaning the listing agent and seller likely felt pressure and welcomed fresh activity. Felita approached the listing agent with a win-win solution, hosted the open house, and used a clear sign-in requirement to maintain control and professionalism. The biggest breakthrough came from her ability to adapt quickly—after noticing visitors cared heavily about schools, she returned the next day with a portfolio/binder of nearby sold homes in the school zone, which helped her build authority fast. That preparation paid off: Felita built rapport with attendees and earned the opportunity to show a couple a $3M home, expanding her confidence and pipeline in higher price points—even though she hadn't personally sold above ~$600K before. The episode closes with Michael encouraging viewers to step out of their comfort zone, leverage OPP (Other People's Properties) with permission, and use simple video before/during/after open houses to position themselves as a trusted authority. Michael also promotes upcoming LUXE Designation training (including an April 16 Houston event) and ends with his signature motivational theme: “Prove them wrong.” Key Takeaways Luxury growth starts by chasing opportunities, not just closings. Hosting higher-end open houses can be a fast path to new relationships and confidence. Stale listings can be a strategic opening for a win-win pitch to the listing agent. Asking great questions + listening creates trust quickly, even in luxury. Adaptation wins: bring value that matches buyer motivation (ex: school-specific portfolio).

In this episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman is joined by James Thompson, senior buyer's agent at Rethink Residential, and Grant, an investor who followed a structured pathway from residential growth assets into commercial property, to unpack the fundamentals of portfolio architecture – and why strategy matters more than arbitrary targets like "10 properties" or "$200,000 passive income". Using Grant's real investment journey as a case study, the episode explores how investors can build a scalable portfolio by sequencing the right assets at the right time, balancing capital growth and cash flow, and making decisions based on equity, serviceability, and life circumstances – not hype or rigid plans. Grant shares how he didn't initially set out to become an investor, but after being priced out of the Sydney home he wanted, he pivoted into residential investing with a clear long-term view. He explains how early purchases in Queensland, including a duplex and diversified residential holdings, helped him build an equity base quickly, and how a rentvesting approach allowed him to keep lifestyle flexibility while letting the portfolio do the heavy lifting. The conversation then turns to the reality of scaling: how serviceability ceilings can start dictating what's possible, why investors often hit an equity or borrowing wall, and why transitioning into commercial property can be a strategic next step for those seeking higher monthly income. James and Liam also unpack the bigger strategic lesson behind Grant's journey: markets shift, life changes, and portfolios need to evolve accordingly. They discuss why successful investors pivot rather than force purchases, how to think about exit strategies, and why the best portfolios quietly support lifestyle – without requiring constant transactions or unnecessary risk. What you'll learn in this episode: Why portfolio architecture matters, and how arbitrary property goals can lead to poor decisions. How to sequence residential investments for growth before transitioning to cash flow. The difference between buying for capital growth versus buying for yield (and when each matters). How rentvesting can create flexibility while still building long-term wealth. Why serviceability and borrowing capacity often become the biggest scaling constraint. How and when moving into commercial property can improve portfolio stability and income. What a practical exit strategy looks like, and how to redeploy equity intelligently. Why the best investors pivot their plan instead of forcing the next purchase. This episode is essential listening for residential property investors who want a clearer strategy for building a portfolio that can scale, adapt and ultimately support passive income – offering a practical, experience-led perspective on sequencing, serviceability, pivot points and long-term decision-making.

Kyndall Thomas, Building a Meaningful Understanding of Properties Through Fact Fluency Tasks ROUNDING UP: SEASON 4 | EPISODE 12 Building fluency with multiplication and division is essential for students in the upper elementary grades. This work also presents opportunities to build students' understanding of the algebraic properties that become increasingly important in secondary mathematics.  In this episode, we're talking with Kyndall Thomas about practical ways educators can support fluency development and build students' understanding of algebraic properties.  BIOGRAPHY Kyndall Thomas serves as a math interventionist and resource teacher with the Oregon Trail School District, focusing on data-driven support and empowering teachers to spark a love of numbers in their students. TRANSCRIPT Mike Wallus: Hi, Kyndall. Welcome to the podcast. I'm really excited to be talking with you today. Kyndall Thomas: Hi, Mike. Thanks for having me. I'm excited to dive into some math talk with you also. Mike: Kyndall, tell us a little bit about your background. What brought you to this work? Kyndall: Yeah. I started in the classroom. I was in upper elementary. I served fifth grade students, and I taught specifically math and science. And then I moved into a more interventionist role where I was a specialist that worked with teachers and also worked with small groups, intervention students. And through that I was able for the first time to really develop an understanding of that mathematical progression that happens at each grade level and the formative things that are introduced at the lower elementary [grades] and then kind of fade out, but still need to be brought back at the upper elementary. Mike: So I've heard other folks talk about the ways students can learn about the algebraic properties as they're building fluency, but I feel like you've taken this a step further. You have some ideas around how we can use visual models to make those properties visible. And I wonder if you could talk a little bit about what you mean by making properties visible and maybe why you think this is an opportunity that's too good to pass up? Kyndall: My thought is bringing visual models back into the classroom with our higher upper elementary students so that they can use those models to build a natural immersion of some of the algebraic properties so that they can emerge rather than just be rules that we are teaching. By supporting students' learning through building models with manipulatives, we're able to build a bridge in a student's mind between their experience with those models and then their mental capacity to visualize those models. This is where the opportunity to bring properties to life is too good to pass up. Mike: OK, so let's get specific. Where would you start? Which of the properties do you see as an opportunity to help students understand as they're building an understanding of fluency? Kyndall: So, when I begin laying the foundation for understanding of the operations and multiplication and division, I intentionally layer in two other major algebraic properties for discovery: the commutative property and the distributive property. We're not setting our students up for success when we simply introduce these properties as abstract rules to memorize. Strong visual models allow students to discover the why behind the rules. They're able to see these properties in action before I even spend any time naming them.  For example, they get to witness or discover how factors can switch order without changing the product, how grouping affects computation, and how numbers can be broken apart and recombined for efficient counting and solving strategies. By teaching basic facts in this structured and intentional way through the behavior of numbers and the authentic discovery of properties, we're not only building fluency, but we're also developing deep conceptual understanding. Students begin to recognize patterns, understand rules, make connections, and rely on reasoning instead of rote memorization. That approach supports long-term mathematical flexibility, which is exactly what we want our students to be able to do. Mike: I want to ask you about two particular tools: the number rack and the 10-frame. Tell me a little bit about what's powerful about the way the [10-frame] is set up that helps students make sense of multiplication. What is it about the way it's designed that you love? Kyndall: The [10-frame] is so powerful because it's set up in our base ten system already. It introduces the tens in a way that is two rows of 5, which is going to lead into properties being identified. So, let me break that up into each individual thing that I love about it.  First, the [10-frame] being broken up into the two rows of 5. That's going to allow students to be able to see that distributive property happening, where we're counting our 5s first and then adding some more into each group. So, when we're seeing a factor like 8 times 2, we're seeing that as two groups of 5 and two groups of 3. Mike: I think what you're making me remember is how it's difficult to help kids visualize that, right? It's a challenge. You can say "'4 times 4' is the same as '4 times 2 plus 4 times 2,'" but that's still an abstraction of what's happening, right? The visual really brings it to life in a way that—even if you're representing that with an equation and doing a true-false equation where it's 4 times 4 is the same as 4 times 2 plus 4 times 2—that's still at a level of abstraction that's not necessarily accessible for children. Kyndall: And as we're talking through this, if I see students and they're working on four groups of 3 and they're seeing those 3s as a double fact plus one more group, I'm on the board writing out the equation, and I'm using the parentheses as that introduction to what this looks like abstractly. They're building it, and they're building those visuals both with their hands and with their minds, and then I'm bringing it to life in the equation on the board. Mike: So, I think what I see in my mind as I hear you describe that is, you have kids with a set of materials. You're doing, for lack of a better word, a translation into a more abstract version of that, and you're helping kids connect the physical materials that they have in front of them to that abstraction and really kind of drawing the connection between the two. Am I getting that right? Kyndall: Yeah. As the students are doing the physical work of math, I'm translating it into its own language up on the board. Absolutely. Mike: I think what's clear to me from this conversation is the way that the tools can illuminate the property, and I think this also helps me think about what my role is as a teacher in terms of building a bridge to an abstraction. Do you actually feel like there's a point where you do introduce the formal language of it? And if you do, how do you decide when? Kyndall: So, the vocabulary kind of comes after the concept has been discovered. But I don't like to introduce the vocabulary first as a rote memorization tool because that has no meaning to it. Mike: I think if I were to summarize this, you're giving them a physical experience with the properties. You're translating that into an abstraction. And then once they've got an experience that they can hang those ideas on top of, then you might decide to introduce the formal language to them at some point. Kyndall: Yeah, absolutely. Mike: So, just as a refresher, for folks who might teach upper elementary and don't have a lot of lived experiences with the number rack—be it the ten or twenty or the hundred—can you describe a little bit about the structure, and maybe what about the structure in particular is important? Kyndall: The structure of a number rack has rows, and each row has 10 beads in it. And typically those beads are divided into two sets of 5: five red beads and five white beads. Then we typically move into a number rack that has two rows so that we're working within 20.  Now, my thought is to take that [to] our third, fourth, and fifth grade, our upper elementary students, and use the hundreds rekenrek [i.e., number rack], where now we have 10 rows and we have 10 beads in each row—still split up into five red [beads] and five white—so that we can use that to teach things. If we're looking at the zero property, students are starting to notice that the rows represent the groups—the rows with the beads on it, that's one group. And so, if we're building zero groups of 3, we don't have a group that we can access to put three beads in. If we're looking at it with the commutative property, students are able to say, "One group of 3. We have one row and we're putting three beads in it."  But what happens when we switch those factors? Now we're utilizing three of our rows, but we're only sliding over one bead. The number rack is also so important when we get to the distributive property because of the way that they have separated those colors. So when we're looking at a factor like 7 times 6—seven groups of 6—then we're gonna be accessing seven rows with six beads in each. That is already set up in the structure of the tool to have five red beads and one white bead showing seven groups of 5 and seven groups of 1 put together. Mike: That is super powerful. One of the things that really jumped out that I want to mark is: If I treat the rows like the groups and then I treat the beads like the number of things in each group, I can model one group with three inside of it, or I can model three groups with one inside of it, and I can really make the difference between those things clear, but also [I can make] the way that the product is still the same clear, right? So, I've got an actual physical model that helps kids understand what was often a rule that was just like 1 times 3 is the same as 3 times 1, because it is. But you're actually saying this is a tool that helps us make meaning of that.  The other thing that jumps out from what you said is: If I'm doing 6 times 5 or 6 times 7 and I push over six [beads], and six looks like five red, one white, I'm automatically set up to make sense of the distributive property because the visual helps me see it. Am I getting that right? Kyndall: Yes, except let me correct you on that last one. You said "6 times 5," and you said, "If I slide over six," Now, six is our group number. We have to be deliberate; that's six groups of 5. So, we're grabbing our groups first, but absolutely, yes. That is the key structure there. [laughs] That's the idea. Mike: This is why this would've been very helpful for a young Mike Wallus. Kyndall: [laughs] Mike: Well, before we go, are there any resources that you'd recommend to a listener that have either informed your thinking or that might help someone take what you've been talking about and put these ideas into action? Kyndall: Yeah. I've been putting this practice into play here at my own district and tracking its progress for a while now. After seeing the success in my own halls here in Sandy, [Oregon,] I've started to reach out and work with other educators on purposeful tool use and mathematical progression.  If it resonates with you, whether you're in the classroom or in a leadership role, I would genuinely love to connect and learn alongside you. You're always welcome to reach out to me directly at KyndallThomas56@yahoo.com. I anticipate more conversations in collaboration, and I'd love to bring them to life through trainings moving forward. I believe that when teachers are confident in their own understanding, they build that same confidence in students. Mike: I think that's a great place to stop. Kyndall, thank you so much.

In this episode, I sit down with Lana, an Airbnb property manager and real estate investor who was juggling 10 properties without documented systems, answering owner messages at all hours, and carrying the entire business in her head. She was competent and driven, yet her days felt reactive because there was no structure holding it together.We break down the exact shifts that changed that.Lana moved from being constantly available to operating on a defined schedule. She implemented structured communication windows for owners and guests. She documented every repeatable process so her virtual assistants could execute at a high standard without waiting for her input. She evaluated her client roster and released the partnerships that were draining her time and authority.As her business became organized, her mental load decreased. She made decisions faster. She trained consistently. She showed up in conversations with clarity instead of tension. The confidence did not come from mindset work alone. It came from clean execution.In this conversation, we talk about:Firing misaligned clients to remove the mental weight of unproductive partnershipsSetting communication boundaries so work messages stopped running her eveningsDocumenting systems so virtual assistants could execute without constant supervisionTurning an overwhelming to-do list into a prioritized, actionable planUsing fitness as a lever for energy and follow-throughManaging ADHD patterns by breaking large projects into clear next actionsIf you are running your business from your head instead of from documented systems, this episode will show you what changes when structure becomes the standard.If this resonates or book your complimentary Coffee & Goals consultation here:
