Are you truly in control of the demand for your short-term rentals, or have you quietly outsourced it to the OTAs without even realizing it? Relying solely on large platforms means you don't actually own your customer base; the hosts who master true demand generation are the ones who will thrive in the next phase of our industry.In this episode, I sit down with Amber Knight, the founder of Bookings Cloud and a seasoned veteran of vacation rental heavyweights like Vacasa, Rented, Inhabit, and LiveRez. We're unpacking what it really means to build a direct guest acquisition engine for your properties and step into true ownership of your business.We talk about:How public booking platforms control the narrative using your listing content, and why reclaiming that control is vital for long-term business survival.Why a beautiful direct booking website means nothing if it breaks guest trust by kicking them over to an unbranded, clunky PMS engine at the final step.Utilizing true paid social ads, not just boosted posts, to feed rich property data into algorithms that match your stay with the perfect guest.Why clicks on Meta can be pennies compared to dollars on Google, why you should never put pricing in your ads, and how to automate property-level campaigns at scale.Clear guidance on when to focus strictly on guest communication versus when your portfolio size justifies a full website investment.We pull back the curtain on the messy reality of data tracking and attribution in a world of privacy laws and GA4. You'll hear why diversifying your booking sources isn't just a quick fix for the low season, but a long-game retirement strategy that compounds over time and builds a business with real enterprise value.If you are ready to move from hoping bookings show up to intentionally creating your own demand, this conversation will give you the playbook. Get ready to stop letting other platforms dictate your revenue and start engineering your own growth.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[01:03] A short introduction about our guests Amber Knight, and journey from growing up around vacation rentals to building a career focused on strengthening local hospitality businesses and destination communities[04:12] Amber reflects on how intentionally building a life and business through consistent daily actions creates opportunities that once seemed out of reach[06:10] Amber explains how owning guest demand has become a critical competitive advantage as short-term rental operators can no longer rely solely on OTAs to drive bookings[10:58] Amber emphasizes that successful demand generation starts with building trust and creating a direct-booking experience that converts website visitors into guests[18:24] How demand generation moves beyond simply having a trusted website and focuses on actively driving qualified traffic to it [21:07] Amber breaks down Meta advertising as a layered system—from organic content to fully automated, property-level ads—designed to turn raw property data into targeted demand at scale[28:15] Amber explains when paid social becomes viable for STR operators based on ad spend consistency and unit economics versus OTA commissions[30:40] What are the effective Meta ads for STRs rely on high-intent, property-specific visuals and structured data feeding rather than pricing-driven creatives[33:35] Amber explains that attribution is imperfect and long-term direct booking growth should be measured through influence, pacing, and consistent investment rather than immediate ROAS results[42:16] The lightning round Golden Nuggets:“It's really empowering that we each have the ability to build a business around a life that we love.”“If every day you make another step to get to the life you want, the career you want, in the place that you want, eventually you'll get there.”“A business that is sellable does not require the owner to be in the day to day.”“You can't change what happens to you, you can change how you respond to it.”Let's Connect:Website : www.bookingscloud.com Instagram : https://www.linkedin.com/company/bookingscloud/ Email : aknight@bookingscloud.comProudly sponsored by PriceLabsEnjoyed the show?

Shattering the Myth of Hessian Invincibility at the Battle of Trenton. Guest: Professor Richard Bell. King George III rented 30,000 German soldiers, known as Hessians, to crush the American insurgency, leading to widespread patriot terror. Washington's victory at Trenton was a crucial symbolic blow that proved these "savage cutthroats" were human and defeatable. Following their capture, Hessian prisoners were sent to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where they were encouraged to desert or defect to the American cause. This strategy resulted in 5,000 desertions, with many Hessians eventually becoming naturalized citizens and even contributing to early American culture, such as writing the unofficial national anthem. 518181

This week, Joe and Robert lead with Anthropic's safety warning and what it means for marketers building AI-driven systems. Joe sees a real challenge ahead: how can marketers confidently build AI platforms and processes when models, access, regulations, and rules keep changing? Robert is not so sure and thinks some of this may be more theater and marketing than actual danger. Who's right? Maybe nobody knows yet. The boys also discuss Fox buying Roku and why the deal is less about content and more about distribution, data, advertising, and owning the screen before the viewer decides what to watch. Plus...Sam Harris doesn't care if it's AI or not. In marketing winners and losers, Robert's winner is a Publicis video, while Joe's winner is Carvana and its move into new-car sales. In rants, raves, and commentary, Joe raves about Sweden pulling back on digital learning for kids and bringing back more books, paper, and handwriting. Robert talks about the LinkedIn and Adobe launch, which may not really be much of a launch at all. Robert also discusses the new AI awards from Cannes.

Derek Reilly of Nevo.ie joins Jess with a roundup of EV news and answers your EV questions.

Success isn't owned—it's rented, and the rent is due every single day.Most people think one good effort is enough to coast for months or years. That's not how it works. Keeping your edge at speaking, leadership, or even in your personal life, means you have to keep showing up, every single day.Great results are never guaranteed or permanent. The moment you stop putting in the work, you start falling behind. If you want lasting success, repetition and everyday effort are your only options.Here's what you'll learn:Why success, team culture, and even your health are “rented”—so that you understand why consistency, not one-time effort, is what builds lasting impact.The real cost of falling behind on “the rent”—so you spot the quiet, slow slide that can cost you big opportunities.How to keep your speaking skills sharp with simple, everyday actions—so that you're ready for any unscheduled meeting or last-minute speaking slot.Strategies to build trust and loyalty with your team—so they bring you their best every day, not just once.How to avoid scrambling when it's too late and instead stay prepared on purpose—so you turn high-pressure moments into easy wins.Keep paying the rent, and watch how opportunity knocks at your door—day after day.>>>Book your Executive Presence Audit: https://speakandstandout.com/executive-presenceExperts Edge newsletter delivered right to you inbox: https://speakandstandout.com/bid-newsletterConnect with me on:LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-ann-murabitoInstagram: @laurieann.murabitoVisit my website for more advice and tips

Last Monday, a ChatGPT outage caused a ripple of chaos that most people wrote off as a minor inconvenience. However, while many were struggling to write emails, I couldn't stop thinking about what happened last summer. If you didn't know, a Starlink outage left 24 autonomous U.S. Navy vessels drifting listlessly off the coast of California. For over an hour, these multi-million dollar assets were nothing more than high-tech paperweights because the "signal" they relied on simply vanished.  In this week's episode of Future-Focused, I'm launching a special two-part series on Fortifying Organizational Fragility. We are currently operating in a "False Middle," believing we are too smart or too resilient to be disrupted, while unknowingly building our businesses on rented foundations. In Part 1, I'm declassifying the "Rat's Nest" of modern technical infrastructure and explaining why your clean management dashboard might be the biggest indicator of a dangerous delusion you're building.  My goal is to help you move from being a "tenant" of your own operations to a sovereign architect. I'll walk you through the evolution of our dependency, from the early days of SaaS to the "Ghost Data" layers to the rise of autonomous tech, and provide three surgical moves to ensure your organization doesn't end up "bobbing in the ocean" when the signal drops:  ​ The "No-Assumption" Dependency Map: Most leaders operate off what they think they know about their tech stack. I break down why you must partner with both Finance and IT to unearth the "rogue tech" and "Ghost Data" layers that are currently invisible to your leadership team.  ​ The Signal-Path Stress Test: You cannot test what you haven't mapped. I explain why you must resist the urge to do this in parallel with your audit and how to simulate a "Signal Cut" to see if your logic stays at the edge or if your entire operation collapses.  ​ Prioritizing Core Resilience Gaps: You can't fix a twenty-year "Rat's Nest" overnight. I'll help you identify the top three gaps that could actually sink the ship and show you how to build "Human Manual Overrides" into your most critical agentic workflows.  By the end of this episode, I hope to challenge you to look past the green status lights and start asking the hard questions about who actually owns the "brain" of your company.  Next week, we'll dive into Part 2, where we look at the human side of this fragility: the rise of mercenary talent and the crisis of cognitive atrophy.  ⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about the future we're building, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

The episode exposes a structural shift in the MSP sector toward increased commoditization and infrastructure dependence, with an industry trend favoring outsourced, app-focused service delivery over internal technical depth. Protected Harbor, led by Richard Luna, is presented as a counterpoint—running its own infrastructure and software, and prioritizing ownership of the technical stack rather than relying extensively on third-party platforms. Luna argues this industry-wide movement has created a market where low entry barriers and rented, commoditized solutions undermine differentiation and inflate operational risk. Central to the discussion is the declining emphasis on technical generalists within MSP organizations, replaced by hyper-specialization and a proliferation of app resale as a service model. Luna attributes industry-wide declines in service quality and net promoter scores (typically ranging from 30–38 for MSPs) to these trends, suggesting the loss of generalist skills erodes problem-solving capacity and increases reliance on external vendors for core functions. He states that running owned infrastructure and open-source tools allows for tighter cost controls, standardization, and faster response to operational events—a contrast to MSP models that outsource most functions. Supporting developments include a detailed critique of the risk dynamics associated with using hyperscale vendors for client-facing services. Luna distinguishes between utility-grade services like power, which can be outsourced without significantly affecting the customer relationship, and services closer to the client experience (e.g., remote access, help desk, data workflows) that, if outsourced, reduce both control and differentiation. Additional risk surfaces are highlighted with the integration of AI and automation, especially when MSPs use large public models that may ingest sensitive client data and create potential information leakage or competitive exposure. The operational implications for MSPs and IT leaders include heightened vendor dependency, expanding contract risk, and declining service quality when organizations prioritize app resale and specialization over in-house competency and direct infrastructure management. To mitigate these risks, the episode suggests MSPs should reassess which functions to control internally versus outsource, invest in developing technical generalists, and scrutinize the downstream effects of workflow automation and AI adoption—especially regarding client data privacy, model training, and real-time operational accountability.

From losing his entire $25,000 life savings on his first investment to backing over 70 startups, Andrew Ackerman shares proven strategies for evaluating founders, testing assumptions cheaply, and why the best entrepreneurs see deals where others see nothing. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Andrew Ackerman, a serial entrepreneur turned early-stage investor and innovation expert. Andrew is currently a strategic advisor and head of Reach Labs at Second Century Ventures, consults on corporate innovation strategies and venture studios, and serves as an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship. He previously served as managing director at DreamIt Adventures, one of the top five accelerator programs in the world. He has invested in over 70 startups and written over 60 published articles for Forbes, Fortune, and other major publications. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why Andrew looks for the instinct to hustle for deals rather than focusing on the idea itself, how accelerators fill the gap between friends and family money and proper VC rounds, and why testing assumptions with a five-dollar pack of index cards can save months of development time. Andrew explains the real difference between SAFE notes and convertible notes, what makes lawyers often terrible startup advisors, and the SeatGeek origin story that proves early testing can turn a failing startup into a billion-dollar company. ANDREW'S JOURNEY: Andrew's path started with both grandfathers as entrepreneurs, one running candy shops and the other creating insurance products. Coming out of University of Chicago in the 90s when startups weren't a thing, he chose consulting before realizing the startup world had caught up. His first venture Bunk One provided internet services for summer camps and exited successfully. His second startup taught harder lessons through founder drama and failure. Angel investing came accidentally through a pharma deal he admits he had no business making, but getting lucky early hooked him. Eventually he joined DreamIt Adventures, running their New York office. KEY INSIGHTS: When evaluating founders, Andrew looks for the instinct to hustle. He shared an example of a founder who rented pencils in fifth grade for a nickel a day. Not sold. Rented. That entrepreneurial DNA shows up early and separates successful founders from everyone else. The SeatGeek story proves early testing works. A startup in his accelerator tested conversion rates early instead of waiting, discovered they were completely off, pivoted in seven weeks, and built a billion-dollar company. Lawyers often make terrible startup advisors because their incentive structure is backwards. Billing by the hour doesn't reward speed, and careers focused on avoiding mistakes rather than making deals happen. Perfect for founders thinking about raising capital, anyone curious about how accelerators work, aspiring angel investors wondering how to evaluate founders, and entrepreneurs who want practical frameworks for testing assumptions.

Reverend Martha Kate Hall discusses the concept of discipleship, emphasizing that belief in Jesus is just the beginning of the journey, while true discipleship requires sustained devotion, obedience, and abiding in God's Word. ​ Using metaphors like fishing, mountain climbing, and the imagery of a vine and branches, it illustrates the importance of remaining connected to God to bear fruit and grow spiritually. ​ Abiding involves time, effort, and faithfulness, and leads to freedom, joy, and a deeper relationship with God. ​ Martha Kate challenges the audience to reflect on their spiritual commitment, encouraging them to move beyond "renting" their faith and instead put down roots through prayer, studying Scripture, and engaging in Christian community. ​ Discipleship is described as a lifelong process of growth and connection with God and others. ​

Part 2: Prepared to Sell - Why Having the Right Documents Matter Selling a home is about more than great photos and perfect timing it's about preparation. On a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, Sharon McNamara, Broker/Owner of Boston Connect Real Estate, and co-host Melissa Wallace continued their conversation on what it truly means to be “prepared to sell.” This second part of the series focused on documentation, transparency, and the details that can make or break a smooth transaction. Whether you plan to sell next month, next year, or far down the road, being informed and organized puts you in control. Preparation Starts Long Before the Listing Goes Live Many sellers don't realize how many questions buyers and buyers' agents will ask once a home hits the market. Sellers often know their homes inside and out, but what feels like second nature to you may not be obvious to someone seeing it for the first time. That's why Sharon created a Master Seller Preparation Checklist a practical guide focused not on staging or decluttering, but on the facts of your property. The checklist helps sellers gather critical information upfront, minimizing surprises later in the process and building buyer confidence. Water, Access, and Easements: Know What You're Selling Homes near water or with shared access bring added questions and responsibilities. Is the water body a pond, lake, or reservoir? Is it fully recreational? Are motors allowed? Is there a dock and if so, is it permanent or seasonal? Misrepresenting water access, even unintentionally, can create liability. Sellers should be prepared to explain what is legally permitted, not just what they've personally enjoyed over the years. The same goes for easements whether for utilities, shared driveways, beach access, or conservation land. Knowing what applies to your property (and having documentation to support it) is key. Rented, Leased, or Contracted Items Matter More Than You Think One of the most overlooked aspects of preparing a home for sale is understanding which items are owned outright and which come with ongoing obligations. Common examples include: Solar panels (owned vs. leased, transferable loans, buyer approval requirements) Water heaters (owned or leased through a utility company) Propane tanks (leased tanks limit supplier choice) Generators and HVAC systems (financing, service contracts, warranties) Water filtration or softener systems Security systems and smart home technology These details can impact a buyer's loan approval and monthly expenses. Addressing them early and in many cases paying them off before listing can prevent delays and lost deals. Maintenance Records Build Buyer Confidence Buyers look for signs that a home has been well cared for. Service tags on furnaces, records of annual maintenance, roof warranties, window warranties, and documentation of any past repairs (including mold remediation) all help tell a positive story. Mold, for example, isn't uncommon in New England homes what matters is that it was properly addressed and that the underlying cause was corrected. Transferable warranties provide reassurance and reduce buyer hesitation. What Stays and What Goes Should Never Be a Surprise Another frequent source of conflict is confusion over fixtures and personal property. Items attached to the home such as curtain rods, mounted brackets, built-in shelving, and lighting fixtures typically stay unless disclosed otherwise. Personal items like curtains, televisions, and decorative mirrors usually go unless negotiated. If there's something meaningful you plan to take with you, replace it before listing the home. Buyers want clarity, not last-minute changes. Leave a Legacy, Not a Burden Beyond selling, this episode touched on a bigger picture: preparation as a gift to your family. Whether due to downsizing, life changes, or an estate situation, having information organized saves loved ones from unnecessary stress during already difficult times. Selling a home especially one tied to family history is emotional. Preparation allows everyone involved to focus on the next chapter, not paperwork chaos. The Value of Working With a Professional Every scenario discussed on the show came back to one key point: working with an experienced real estate professional matters. A knowledgeable agent knows which questions to ask, how to uncover missing information, and how to guide sellers through complex situations from estates and easements to leased systems and legal disclosures. At Boston Connect Real Estate, preparation isn't an afterthought it's the foundation of a successful sale.

In the early 1990s, specifically from 1992 to 1995, Jeffrey Epstein leased a former Iranian diplomatic townhouse at 34 East 69th Street in Manhattan—property that the U.S. State Department had taken over after diplomatic relations with Iran ended. He paid $15,000 per month for the lease, and at some point sublet it to attorney Ivan Fisher and others. The State Department later sued Epstein, alleging he had violated the lease terms by subletting without permission and failed to make proper rent payments, ultimately seeking to evict him.This arrangement has drawn attention because, at the same time Epstein was building his reputation as a financial advisor and philanthropist, he leveraged government-leased real estate to house his associates. The legal case underscores a pattern of Epstein navigating institutional systems—from government leases to elite circles—often stretching or disregarding the rules while maintaining a facade of legitimacy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosiegray/jeffrey-epstein-state-department

Welcome to episode #1014 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when careers feel increasingly precarious and algorithms quietly dictate how value is created and captured, it's worth learning from someone who has spent more than two decades helping creators and entrepreneurs reclaim ownership of their work and their futures. Joe Pulizzi is the founder of multiple influential startups, including Content Marketing Institute, The Tilt, the Content Entrepreneur Expo and is widely recognized as the person who first coined the term "content marketing" in 2001, long before it became an industry unto itself. A bestselling author of seven books, including Epic Content Marketing and Content Inc., Joe has helped shape how organizations and individuals think about audience building, trust, and long-term value creation, earning the Content Council's Lifetime Achievement Award for his impact on the field. After successfully exiting Content Marketing Institute in 2016, he expanded his creative range by writing the award-winning mystery novel The Will To Die, while continuing to host two long-running podcasts, including This Old Marketing, the longest-running marketing news podcast in the world. His latest book, Burn The Playbook: How Creators And Entrepreneurs Escape The 9–5 And Build Businesses That Last, serves as the catalyst for this conversation and reflects a deeply personal mission inspired by his children: to help people stop renting their futures and start building assets they truly own. In the discussion, Joe explores the evolution of content and audience strategy, the underestimated power of repetition in building trust, the growing importance of individual creators over faceless brands, and why human connection matters more than ever in this AI-accelerated world. He also addresses the role of paid promotion, the practical integration of AI into creative work, and why serving a clearly defined audience remains the most durable path to meaning, freedom, and sustainable wealth.

In October 2025, we took over Trevor Hall — a Georgian manor house in Llangollen, Wales — with forty members of the Strong Sense of Place community. It was the best book club ever. We took walks in the countryside, talked about (so many) books, enjoyed ridiculously delicious meals, and told spooky stories by candlelight. And we made lifelong friends. In this episode, we explain where the idea came from in the first place, share some of our favorite moments, talk about our outdoor adventures in North Wales, and offer some tips for how you can create a similar experience with your favorite people.
