How should security leaders respond when AI-powered attacks compress detection and response windows from minutes to seconds? At Barracuda TechSummit 26 in Alpbach, Austria, I spoke with Rohit Ghai, Chief Executive Officer at Barracuda. The conversation took place exactly one year after Rohit joined the company, giving us an opportunity to discuss what brought him to Barracuda, what he inherited, and how his first year has influenced his plans for the business. Rohit explains that Barracuda's focus on smaller and resource-constrained organizations was an important reason he accepted the role. A cyber incident can threaten the survival of a smaller company, particularly when it has a lean IT team and limited access to specialist security knowledge. For these businesses, Rohit argues that AI-supported and increasingly autonomous security is a practical requirement. We discuss Barracuda's platform strategy and why genuine integration must extend beyond a shared interface. Rohit compares loosely connected product portfolios to supermarkets. Customers may find it easier to purchase several products from one supplier, but that commercial convenience does not mean the products share data or produce a coordinated response. Traditional tool sprawl forced analysts to interpret information across several screens. Agent sprawl could introduce systems that act independently, disagree with one another, or take conflicting actions. Rohit believes security platforms must connect information across email, identity, applications, data, and infrastructure so they can reason across the complete attack sequence. Identity is another major part of the discussion. Barracuda's acquisition of Evo Security addresses privileged access for managed service providers and smaller businesses. Rohit expects machine and non-human identities to greatly outnumber human users, raising questions about excessive privileges and how organizations grant temporary access to autonomous agents. We also discuss the economics behind AI security. Rohit explains how Barracuda is adapting its value reports to account for token consumption as well as staffing, software, and security outcomes. Barracuda absorbs the direct token costs associated with its own AI capabilities and selects different models according to the task, an approach intended to keep its products affordable for smaller customers and MSPs. Rohit is cautious about calls for the AI industry to slow development. Coordinating a worldwide slowdown between companies and countries would be extremely difficult. He also argues that cyber defenders cannot pause while attackers continue using widely available models to improve their campaigns. The conversation ends with a wider leadership question. Rohit believes intelligence will become widely available, making empathy and trust more valuable. AI can generate an answer, but customers, partners, and security professionals must decide whether they trust the organization acting upon it. Will connected AI security platforms reduce complexity, or could autonomous agents introduce a new form of operational risk?  Share your thoughts.

Usual nonsense chat this week (disclaimer this was recorded a few weeks ago) including entertaining Ro's weird obsessions, more LinkedIn rants, NFL and GTA VI. We also do some "Quick Fire Tier Lists," which is always guaranteed to anger someone out there.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES

In this episode, Monika shares what she learnt from speaking to Naval personnel across the Southern Command in Kochi about building financial freedom alongside a career in the forces. She explains why those in uniform have already solved some of the biggest financial concerns faced in the private sector, and why financial freedom means being able to take off the uniform without compromising on values or dignity for money.She explores why the best financial product is not always the best financial decision. Personal finance is less about mathematical optimisation and more about behaviour, and a simple strategy that can be understood and followed may work better than a theoretically perfect portfolio. She also shares a practical framework for making financial decisions based on goals, time horizon, risk, simplicity and the ability to stick with a decision.In the listener questions, Rekha asks about balancing Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme, NPS Vatsalya and equity investments for her daughters. Rohit asks whether passive index funds have the same long-term advantage in India and whether he should add an index fund to his existing portfolio. Sarah, an 18-year-old student, asks what Monika would focus on if she were starting again and wanted to achieve financial independence as early as reasonably possible.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Make Your Money March: Financial Freedom After the Uniform(00:00 – 00:00) Why the Best Financial Product May Not Be the Best Decision(00:00 – 00:00) NPS Vatsalya vs Mutual Funds: What's Better for Your Children's Future?(00:00 – 00:00) Active vs Passive Funds: Which Investment Strategy Works Better in India?(00:00 – 00:00) If You're 18, What Should You Do to Become Financially Independent?If you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

“AI cannot be allowed to strip away our ability to make decisions, make judgment, and still be the ones making the final call.”AI can give us answers faster than ever.But what happens when getting the answer becomes more important than learning how to think?In this episode of the Earning Conviction Series, Glenn Llopis sits down with Rohit Begani, CTO & Co-Founder of AceUp, to explore a different vision for AI—one designed not to replace human judgment, but to strengthen it.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Rain and Resolve: Unleashing Innovation in a Startup Incubator Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-08-04-07-38-20-hi Story Transcript:Hi: मॉनसून की बौछारें खिड़कियों से टकरा रही थीं और स्टार्टअप इनक्यूबेटर में नई ऊर्जा का माहौल था।En: The monsoon showers were hitting the windows, and there was an atmosphere of new energy in the startup incubator.Hi: हर तरफ छात्रों की टीमें अपनी परियोजनाओं की तैयारी में जुटी थीं।En: Everywhere, teams of students were engrossed in preparing their projects.Hi: चमचमाती फर्नीचर, कांच की दीवारें और प्रेरणादायक पोस्टर, इनक्यूबेटर को रचनात्मकता का गढ़ बना रहे थे।En: Shiny furniture, glass walls, and inspirational posters made the incubator a hub of creativity.Hi: इसी गड़गड़ाहट और सृजनात्मकता के बीच, अनन्या, रोहित और सारिका की टीम अगली महान प्रस्तुति की तैयारी में थी।En: Amidst this thunder and creativity, the team of Ananya, Rohit, and Sarika was preparing for the next great presentation.Hi: रोहित एक सदाबहार रचनात्मक विचारक था लेकिन उसका आत्म-विश्वास हमेशा अनन्या की बोलने की क्षमता के सामने फीका पड़ जाता था।En: Rohit was an evergreen creative thinker, but his confidence always paled in comparison to Ananya's speaking ability.Hi: अपनी विचारधारा और परियोजना के लिए वह बहुत उत्साहित था, पर उसे सार्वजनिक रूप से बोलने से डर लगता था।En: He was very excited about his ideas and the project, but he feared public speaking.Hi: अनन्या बहुत आत्म-विश्वासी थी।En: Ananya was very self-assured.Hi: वह टीम का स्वाभाविक नेतृत्वकर्ता थी और अपनी दृष्टि को प्रभावी तरीके से प्रस्तुत कर सकती थी, मगर रोहित जैसे शांत विचारकों की बातें कभी-कभी अनसुनी कर देती थी।En: She was the natural leader of the team and could present her vision effectively, but sometimes she overlooked the ideas of quiet thinkers like Rohit.Hi: सारिका विस्तार में जाने वाली और विश्लेषणात्मक थी।En: Sarika was detail-oriented and analytical.Hi: वह पर्दे के पीछे काम करना पसंद करती थी और अक्सर टीम में शांति बनाए रखने का काम करती थी।En: She preferred to work behind the scenes and often maintained peace within the team.Hi: अब, जब रक्षाबंधन का त्यौहार नजदीक था, वो सभी एक साथ थे।En: Now, with the festival of Raksha Bandhan approaching, they were all together.Hi: रोहित ने महसूस किया कि यह सही समय है कि वह अपनी आवाज़ को पहचाने और टीम में अपना योगदान दिखाए।En: Rohit realized this was the right time to find his voice and show his contribution to the team.Hi: उसने एक आईडिया सोच रखा था जो अनन्या की दृष्टि और सारिका के विस्तार को मिलाकर एक अनोखा दृष्टिकोण प्रदान कर सकता था।En: He had thought of an idea that could blend Ananya's vision and Sarika's detail into a unique perspective.Hi: लेकिन उसके भीतर एक संघर्ष था - क्या वह अपने डर को पार कर पाएगा?En: But there was a struggle within him—could he overcome his fear?Hi: प्रस्तुति का दिन आ गया।En: The day of the presentation arrived.Hi: दर्शकों के सामने टीम खड़ी थी।En: The team stood before the audience.Hi: रोहित के माथे पर पसीना था, और उसका दिल तेजी से धड़क रहा था।En: Rohit's forehead was sweaty, and his heart was pounding.Hi: अनन्या ने प्रस्तुति की शुरुआत की और सब कुछ ठीक जा रहा था।En: Ananya began the presentation, and everything was going smoothly.Hi: जब रोहित की बारी आई, वह थोड़ा घबराया।En: When it was Rohit's turn, he was a little nervous.Hi: उसने आंखें बंद की, दिल को स्थिर किया, और बोलना शुरू कर दिया।En: He closed his eyes, steadied his heart, and started speaking.Hi: उसकी आवाज लड़खड़ाई, लेकिन धीरे-धीरे उसमें आत्मविश्वास आ गया।En: His voice faltered at first, but gradually it gained confidence.Hi: उसकी बातों में ऐसा नयापन था जिसने सबका ध्यान खींच लिया।En: His words had a novelty that captured everyone's attention.Hi: प्रस्तुति खत्म होते ही, दर्शकों में संभावित निवेशकों का ध्यान उनकी तरफ गया।En: As soon as the presentation ended, potential investors in the audience turned their focus towards them.Hi: उन्होंने टीम के प्रयासों की सराहना की और रुचि दिखाई।En: They appreciated the team's efforts and showed interest.Hi: रोहित के अंदर आत्म-संकोच की जगह गर्व ने ले ली।En: Pride replaced Rohit's self-doubt.Hi: अनन्या और सारिका ने उसे बधाई दी और उसकी अहमियत को समझा।En: Ananya and Sarika congratulated him and understood his importance.Hi: इस अनुभव के बाद, रोहित ने समझा कि उसकी आवाज भी उतनी ही कीमती है।En: After this experience, Rohit realized that his voice was just as valuable.Hi: टीम के बीच समन्वय और गहराई आई।En: There was coordination and depth among the team members.Hi: उन्होंने महसूस किया कि हर सदस्य के विचार और दृष्टिकोण महत्वपूर्ण हैं।En: They realized that the thoughts and perspectives of every member were important.Hi: और इसी के साथ, एक नई शुरुआत की उम्मीद लिए, उन्होंने इनक्यूबेटर से विदा ली, बारिश की बूँदों के बीच।En: And with a hope for a new beginning, they said goodbye to the incubator amidst the raindrops.

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONI sat down with Rohit, Richard, and Carlos from CAAN , three veterans with decades of experience across Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, BlackRock, and Deutsche Bank , to break down what is really happening in markets right now. We get into why Bitcoin has gone quiet, where all the volatility has migrated to, and what the bond market breaking down could mean for everyone. More importantly, we dig into what CAAN is building: liquid alternative strategies that give everyday investors access to the kind of sophisticated, uncorrelated returns that were previously locked behind institutional walls. Richard also shares a raw and refreshingly honest take on wealth, happiness, and why borrowing money to impress people is a trap. This one covers a lot of ground , macro, crypto, derivatives, and life advice , and I think you will find it genuinely useful. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

What is your short-term rental business really worth—and more importantly, what are buyers actually looking for right now? In this episode of The STR Data Lab, CEO of AirDNA Rohit Bezewada sits down with C2G Advisors' Managing Partner Jacobie Olin. They unpack the realities behind today's M&A market for property managers, cutting through the noise of tech buzzwords and surface-level metrics. If you've ever wondered how growth, profitability, and operations translate into valuation, this conversation brings clarity where it matters most.The truth is, buyers aren't chasing shiny tools or trendy “AI-native” claims—they're focused on fundamentals. Clean financials, predictable revenue trends, strong margins, and a capable team still win the day. But layered on top of that are evolving deal structures, shifting expectations around growth, and a competitive landscape where demand for quality operators continues to outpace supply. Whether you're planning to sell soon or just building with the end in mind, understanding these dynamics can shape smarter decisions today.Zooming out, they also explore where the STR industry is headed: continued consolidation at the top, rapid growth among mid-sized operators, and the role technology (including AI) may play in expanding margins—not valuations—over time. It's a grounded, data-driven look at how to build a business that performs now and positions you for future opportunities.You don't want to miss this episode!Key Takeaways:Clean financials matter more than anything else—buyers prioritize clarity, consistency, and reliable performance over flashy tools.Growth + profitability = premium valuations—steady portfolio expansion and strong EBITDA margins drive the most interest.Revenue mix impacts your bottom line—ancillary income (like cleaning fees) can significantly boost margins since it's not shared with homeowners.Deal structure is just as important as price—offers with higher cash upfront and simpler terms tend to win over complex, contingency-heavy deals.AI won't boost your valuation—yet—it only matters if it clearly improves revenue or margins in your financials.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

How do India's wealthiest families actually manage their money, and why does the man who looks after roughly ₹50,000 crore of it own zero stocks himself?Rohit Sarin is the co-founder of Client Associates, which he started in 2002 as India's first multi-family office and has grown into the largest in the country, managing around ₹50,000 crore for more than 1,100 wealthy families. The firm acts as a personal CFO for a family's entire wealth, doing for a household what a finance chief does for a company.He built it the hard way. He left a senior banking career at Deutsche Bank and Kotak, walked away from a full salary into a negative net worth, and took no salary in the first year so every rupee could go into building revenue. The firm's first working machine was an old computer he won at a Deutsche Bank auction.His most contrarian view is about how ordinary Indians treat the markets. He believes trading is a zero-sum game, and the data backs him. A SEBI study found that 93 per cent of individual F&O traders lost money over three years, worth more than ₹1.8 lakh crore, with only about one per cent earning a meaningful profit. Rohit made money on seven of ten trades and still ended underwater because the three losses wiped out all seven gains, so he closed his demat account entirely. He reads the AI boom the same way, as a bubble much like the dot-com era where a rare Amazon survives, and points to Byju's as a reminder of what happens when growth runs ahead of discipline.What the rich do differently is stay patient. They spend on their needs and rarely on their wants, and their real goal is to stay rich across generations rather than to get rich quickly. His own line for it is that wealth is a gift given by the impatient to the patient. He is equally clear that this is India's century, that the country has just crossed the income level where consumption compounds, and that the next ten years may be its best for anyone who starts investing early. He lays it all out in his book, Unlocking Wealth: Secrets to Getting Rich at Any Age.If you are excited about how India's richest families think about money and where India's next decade is headed, this episode is for you.00:00 - Trailer01:50 - The personal CFO for India's richest families03:50 - Quitting a full salary for a negative net worth05:20 - The old computer he won at a Deutsche Bank auction06:50 - The first clients and the two crore bar he borrowed from Merrill09:20 - How many dollar-millionaires India really has11:50 - The income level where a country's wealth suddenly compounds14:20 - What is really driving India's wealth creation16:50 - How old-money families decide who controls the wealth19:50 - The tech gap that changed who leads a family office22:50 - Is the AI boom just the dotcom bubble again26:50 - Why he is telling family offices to sit out AI for now30:50 - The asset classes the ultra-rich actually hold33:50 - Why the rich are moving money beyond India37:50 - The one thing the ultra-rich do that the 99% do not41:50 - His relationship with wealth, and needs versus wants44:50 - Advice to first-generation founders who just got rich48:50 - Why this is India's century and its best decade52:50 - 93% lose money trading, and the demat account he closed55:50 - The book he wrote for every young Indian57:50 - Rapid fire: the best investment he has ever made-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Look, Meera, meeting you after a long time."Hi: आरव अचानक रुका।En: Aarav suddenly stopped.Hi: उसकी आंखों ने रोहित के शब्दों को तुरंत पकड़ लिया।En: His eyes immediately caught Rohit's words.Hi: वही मीरा... उसका दिल तेजी से धड़कने लगा।En: That very Meera... his heart started to beat rapidly.Hi: मीरा, उसकी अपनी बीती कहानी की साक्षी।En: Meera, the witness to his past story.Hi: वही कहानियां जो वो पीछे छोड़कर आना चाहता था।En: Those very stories he wanted to leave behind.Hi: ताज महल के पास खड़ी मीरा उसे देख रही थी।En: Standing near the Taj Mahal, Meera was looking at him.Hi: जैसे वक्त वही का वही ठहर गया हो।En: As if time had stopped there.Hi: भीड़ के बीच वो दोनों आमने-सामने खड़े हो गए।En: Amid the crowd, they both stood facing each other.Hi: बातों की लहरों के बीच आरव के मन में कई सवाल थे - "क्या वो भी मेरे बारे में सोच रही थी? क्यों हम ऐसे अलग हो गए थे?"En: Among the waves of conversation, Aarav had many questions in his mind - "Was she thinking about me too? Why did we part ways like this?"Hi: इसी बीच, आसमान में ईद के पटाखे चमकने लगे।En: Meanwhile, the fireworks of Eid started sparkling in the sky.Hi: उनकी रौशनी में मीरा की आंखों में एक अजीब सी शांति थी।En: In their light, there was a strange peace in Meera's eyes.Hi: मानो कह रही हों, “अब वक़्त आ गया है, बात करने का।”En: As if they were saying, “Now is the time to talk.”Hi: आरव ने आखिरकार हिम्मत जुटाई।En: Finally, Aarav gathered the courage.Hi: उसने सीधे मीरा से पूछा, "क्यों अचानक से छोड़ दिया था मुझे?"En: He directly asked Meera, "Why did you suddenly leave me?"Hi: मीरा की आंखों में दर्द की छाया थी, लेकिन उसकी आवाज़ में सच्चाई थी।En: There was a shadow of pain in Meera's eyes, but there was truth in her voice.Hi: "आरव, वक्त और हालात ने हमें अलग कर दिया। मैं चाहती थी कि तुम आगे बढ़ो।"En: "Aarav, time and circumstances separated us. I wanted you to move forward."Hi: उनकी बातचीत किसी गहरी नदी की तरह बहने लगी।En: Their conversation began to flow like a deep river.Hi: दोनों ने अपनी भावनाएं, गलतफहमियां साझा कीं।En: Both shared their feelings and misunderstandings.Hi: आरव को आखिरकार अहसास हुआ कि असल में दोनों की जिंदगी ने अलग राहें चुन ली थीं।En: Aarav finally realized that indeed, their lives had chosen different paths.Hi: पटाखों का शोर और लोग खुशी में झूम रहे थे, पर आरव का मन अब शांत था।En: The noise of fireworks and people reveling in joy was all around, but Aarav's mind was now at peace.Hi: उसने मीरा के हाथ को थामकर कहा, "अब मैं समझ रहा हूँ, हमें मुद्दत से जरूरत थी इस समझदारी की।"En: Holding Meera's hand, he said, "Now I understand, this understanding was needed for a long time."Hi: मीरा मुस्कुराई और कहा, "हां, यह अंत का नहीं, एक नई शुरुआत का संकेत है।"En: Meera smiled and said, "Yes, this is not the end, but a sign of a new beginning."Hi: समाप्ति पर आरव को आखिरकार शांति मिली।En: In the end, Aarav finally found peace.Hi: उसने अपने अंदर के दर्द को शांति से विदा किया।En: He peacefully bid farewell to the pain inside him.Hi: ताज महल की ओर देखते हुए उसने पाया कि यहां का अनंत प्रेम उसके लिए भी दूसरी शुरुआत के संकेत दे रहा था।En: Looking towards the Taj Mahal, he found that the eternal love of the place was also signaling a new beginning for him.Hi: और यहीं दोनों ने अपने जीवन की नई राह पर कदम बढ़ाए।En: And there, both stepped onto a new path in their lives.

England v India, 2nd ODI, Cardiff: A proper old-fashioned one-dayer on a proper old-fashioned one-day pitch needed a proper old-fashioned one-day innings. Joe Root is the man for that task.

The first half of 2026 is in the books—and the latest data is telling a much stronger story than many expected. In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA CEO Rohit sits down with economist Bram Gallagher to break down June's performance, the impact of the FIFA World Cup on short-term rentals, and why existing hosts may be entering one of the strongest competitive positions they've seen in years.From record ADR gains and rising pricing power to slowing supply growth and stronger-than-expected travel demand, Bram explains why the industry's fundamentals remain healthy despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. They also unpack which markets truly benefited from the World Cup, why many bookings arrived at the last minute, and what hosts should expect as the industry heads into a promising second half of 2026.Whether you're managing one property or scaling a portfolio, this episode offers practical insights into pricing strategy, market timing, and where future demand is likely to emerge. Plus, Bram shares the biggest risks he's watching—and why he's still optimistic about what's ahead.You don't want to miss this episode!Key TakeawaysEstablished hosts are gaining pricing power. AirDNA's Repeat Rent Index climbed 6.8% year over year, showing experienced operators are raising rates well above inflation thanks to reviews, repeat guests, and stronger market positioning.The FIFA World Cup delivered for hosts. Most host cities experienced meaningful demand increases and ADR growth exceeding 30%, with many bookings arriving just days before matches—reinforcing the importance of staying patient with pricing.New supply is slowing dramatically. Listing growth has fallen below 2% for the first time since the pandemic as higher mortgage rates discourage new investors, creating a more favorable environment for existing hosts.Demand is expanding beyond major cities. Smaller cities and rural destinations continue attracting travelers, proving that guests are seeking unique experiences beyond traditional urban markets.The second half of 2026 is shaping up well. Easier year-over-year comparisons, strong event calendars, healthy pricing trends, and slowing supply point toward improving occupancy and continued revenue growth for hosts.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Bit of a quiet week this one as we start off with some Black Ops chat to celebrate the release of the PS5 version. We then talk AI slop, Easyway, private equity owned businesses, Chinese robo vacuums, tier listing chores and leaving negative reviews on small businesses.Our other segment this week is "what your x says about you," where we just rattle off stereotypes for some cheap laughs.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES

The 3 stooges are back this week and yet again more football yarns this week as Sen proudly proclaims to have done zero work this week yet then also proceeds to buy a $400 ergonomic office chair - make it make sense. In other news the boys are both proud and disappointed in the Socceroos, Ro's having furniture issues and a tip for getting discounts. We also implore Afterglow Eatery to stop posting our faces and Migs takes on Woolies.We have even more World Cup content with each of the boys bringing their own World Cup themed game/segment to run by the other 2.___________________________________________________________FULL PODCAST EPISODES

Is now still a smart time to invest in short-term rentals—or has the opportunity already passed? In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA CEO Rohit sits down with John Bianchi, better known as the Airbnb Data Guy, to unpack the data-driven framework that's helped identify more than 400 profitable STR investments. From finding resilient markets to evaluating deals and designing properties that outperform the competition, John shares the methodology he uses to separate great investments from costly mistakes.The conversation goes far beyond market selection. John explains why regulation should always come before revenue analysis, how his "20% Rule" helps quickly identify markets with cash-flow potential, and why amenities, marketing, and guest experience often matter more than the property itself. Along the way, Rohit and John explore how today's market differs from the easy-money era—and why thoughtful investors may still have a significant advantage.Whether you're buying your first vacation rental or scaling a portfolio, this episode is packed with practical insights on underwriting, property optimization, and long-term investment strategy. If you're looking to make smarter decisions with your next STR investment, this conversation offers a roadmap grounded in data—not hype.You don't want to miss this episode!Key TakeawaysStart with regulation—not revenue. Before analyzing any market, understand its STR regulations and prioritize locations with stable, well-defined rules.Use the 20% Rule as a quick filter. Compare a property's purchase price to its revenue potential to quickly determine whether a market is worth deeper analysis.Design for experiences, not bedrooms. Amenities, outdoor spaces, and memorable guest experiences consistently outperform standard listings and drive higher revenue.Marketing matters more than most hosts realize. The order of your listing photos, storytelling, and presentation can dramatically influence bookings—even before guests read a single word.Think long-term, not just this year's cash flow. Combining cash flow, appreciation, principal paydown, and tax advantages can create powerful compounding returns for investors who buy strategically.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Most companies treat employee retention as an HR problem.The data from hundreds of P&Ls says it's a leadership problem and the companies that figure that out first are the ones that consistently outperform.Rohit Bassi, McKinsey veteran, private equity operator, and author of People Priority, introduces a framework that is changing how business leaders think about their most valuable asset. Rohit calls it People Quotient, or PQ. Just as individuals have IQ and EQ, companies have PQ. The ones that measure it, invest in it, and build it deliberately are the ones that win.Rohit and, host, Ashish Kothari unpack why retention is not a metric to hand off to HR, why trust is the single most important element of any organizational design, and why the companies winning with small and medium sized businesses are the ones treating talent operations as a core business function not an afterthought.If you lead a team, run a business, or advise organizations on growth, this conversation will change how you think about your people strategy.What you will learn:How successful companies align leadership, structure, and talent systems to elevate their PQThe three leadership traits, drive, empowerment, and velocity, that fuel high performanceWhy most hiring processes are reactive and how to adopt a disciplined, systematic approachThe importance of trust and conflict management in fostering a high-trust cultureHow to use the “CAST” framework, clarity, accountability, structure, and trust for organizational designEpisode Chapters: 03:46 Rohit introduces the concept of People Quotient and how it was born from analyzing hundreds of P&Ls08:00 The three pillars of PQ: leadership capability, organizational design, and talent operations12:00 Why bad managers, not bad companies, are the primary reason people leave29:08 The real cost of attrition34:54 Retention as a leadership trait: what CEOs get wrong43:45 Talent operations: the three things companies consistently get wrong49:36 Why putting people first works from 3-person startups to 10,000 person organizations52:02 Closing reflections: people are not a support function, they are the strategyResources:Connect with the GuestLinkedIn: Rohit BassiRecommended Reading: People Priority The CEOs Blueprint for Winning Talent AcquisitionConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.

From there they lay out the two bookends of every plan, the 25X accumulation rule and the 12X annuity rule, and land on the middle ground: roughly 30% in risk-free assets paired with dividend growth equities, structured so you never have to sell unrealized losses.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment02:55 – Freedom vs. surety of income: two definitions 05:25 – Re-pensionizing America and why the wealthy never stop 08:45 – Why entrepreneurship is about who you become 12:30 – Why Monte Carlo simulations don't work 14:55 – Sequence of returns risk explained 16:50 – Why even a linear 9% return runs out of money 18:35 – Where to start: the two bookends 19:25 – The 4% rule and the 25X heuristic 20:25 – The annuity bookend and the 12X heuristic 22:30 – The annuity's Achilles heel: inflation 24:40 – Inflation riders and the joint annuity strategy 27:55 – Net worth is not a proxy for income 30:50 – Why age 65 is arbitrary 33:50 – Building toward a dream part-time job 36:05 – The 30% rule and the Ernst & Young study 43:35 – The S&P: great for accumulation, terrible for distribution 45:00 – Dividend achievers, aristocrats, and kings 47:35 – The magic number is 8: yield on cost explained 51:15 – Earn compound interest, pay simple interest 56:00 – Why this strategy is so hard to run 57:35 – The Bessembinder study and why indexing works 01:04:05 – A plan is not a plan if you can run out of money 01:06:20 – Closing segmentKey Takeaways:Retirement isn't the absence of work, it's freedom, the ability to do what you want, when you want, with whoever you want. The people who retire to something thrive; the ones who only retire from something often don't last.Net worth is not a proxy for income. Retirement planning is income planning. A zero-dollar net worth with $20,000 a month of guaranteed income beats a huge number you're too scared to spend down.You can average 7%, withdraw 4%, and still go broke. The average return doesn't matter, the sequence does. A couple of down years early in retirement force you to sell principal, and no Monte Carlo simulation can model human behavior, lifestyle creep, or a long-term care event.Know your two bookends. Multiply your target income by 25 (the 4% rule) for the high end of what you need to save, and by 12 (an 8% annuity) for the low end. For $100K a year, that's $2.5M versus $1.2M, and the right answer for most people sits in the middle.Index to dividend growth, not just the S&P. Roughly 40% of the S&P's total return since inception has come from dividends, and dividend aristocrats have historically raised payouts faster than inflation, giving you an inflation-indexed income stream instead of forcing you to decide what to sell, when, and how much.

The making of India's Constitution is usually told as the story of the few hundred prominent lawyers, politicians, and intellectuals who comprised the Constituent Assembly—the body tasked with drafting this historic document between 1946 and 1949. But a new book by the scholars Rohit De and Ornit Shani, Assembling India's Constitution: A New Democratic History, argues this familiar account captures only part of the story. Drawing on a remarkable range of archival material, the book shows that constitution-making was not confined to the halls of the Constituent Assembly alone. It also played out in provincial legislatures, princely states, government offices, civic associations, and communities across India. Ordinary citizens debated the constitution, petitioned its authors, organized around it, and creatively sought to shape its provisions. To discuss the book and its relevance for our understanding of India's democratic evolution, Rohit and Ornit join Milan on the show this week. Rohit is a professor of history at Yale University and the author of A People's Constitution: The Everyday Life of Law in the Indian Republic. Ornit is an associate professor of Asian Studies at Haifa University. She is the author of How India Became Democratic: Citizenship and the Making of the Universal Franchise. The trio discuss the serendipitous origins of the book, the authors' unusual writing process, and the gaps in the conventional account of India's constitution-making. Plus, the three talk about overlooked constitution-making efforts in the princely states and the forgotten story of Manipur's democratic experiment.

The whole crew is back. Nick, Robbie, Mike, and Rohit reunite for a full-panel episode of the Sneaker History Podcast, and it feels exactly like catching up with friends who happen to know more about shoes than most people you know.They kick things off with Rockin' and Coppin', covering everything from Nipsey Hussle PUMAs and adidas SL EVOs to a World Cup craze over jerseys and some very real talk about what shoe buying looks like when adulting kicks in. From there, the conversation stretches across World Cup sneaker culture, 3D printing and foam technology in performance footwear, the history of player endorsements in soccer, and how the sport has become one of the most interesting spaces in the sneaker world right now.They also spend time on the rise of Skechers as a legitimate player in the athletic space (yes, really), dig into brand rivalries, talk representation in sneaker culture, and close with a preview of where women's basketball footwear might be heading next.It's a wide-ranging one, but that's the whole squad for you.
