But what impact will that have on small, usually family run guesthouses and self catering cottages? Màire Ni Mhurchu, Chief Executive of the Irish Self Catering Federation convinced it could devastate the sector and worsen the rental shortages.

What does it take to manage 420 apartments and create a million memorable moments? On this episode, host Dan Ryan sits down with Sebastián Torres-Calderón, the CEO of Stay U-nique, an award-winning short-term rental company in Spain. Sebastián shares his journey from customer journey intern to CEO and reveals how implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) helped his company not only survive the chaos of COVID but quadruple in size. The conversation dives deep into how Stay U-nique uses data and technology to create a frictionless guest experience, the challenges of a rapidly evolving industry, and the political headwinds facing the short-term rental market. Sebastián offers a unique perspective on the debate between prohibition and regulation and provides a powerful case for why collaboration between the private and public sectors is the key to solving housing inventory issues.Takeaways: Track key metrics (KPIs) across all departments, not just leadership, to identify and address recurring issues. Use data to drive improvements in guest experience, operations, and communication.Use frameworks such as the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to set clear goals, break them into manageable projects (“rocks”), and review progress regularly. Involve the entire team in the process for maximum impact.Don't be afraid to make mistakes, learn, and adapt. Regularly test new approaches, measure their impact, and iterate quickly. Use technology to streamline operations (e.g., remote locks, cleaning apps) and enhance the guest experience, but ensure it remains personal and responsive.Success takes time and consistent effort. Focus on long-term growth rather than immediate results.Empower every team member with ownership of projects and clear goals to drive company-wide improvement.Quote of the Show:“To take that time and make it something that they will remember forever, and get to do that every day, that's amazing.” - Sebastián Torres-CalderónLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebasti%C3%A1n-torres-calderon-serkovic-310044121/ Website: https://www.stay-u-nique.com/en/ Shout Outs:0:53 - World Travel Awards https://www.worldtravelawards.com/ 10:46 - EOS https://www.eosworldwide.com/ 12:02 - Airbnb https://www.airbnb.com/ 13:43 - Traction https://amzn.to/4fEGOTZ 13:43 - Gino Wickman https://www.ginowickman.com/ 14:53 - Mitcham Rentals https://www.mitchamgrouprentals.com/ 16:23 - Enrique Alcántara https://www.linkedin.com/in/enrique-alc%C3%A1ntara-b9623b/ 24:28 - What the Heck is EOS? https://amzn.to/4fGGXGC 40:49 - Sonder https://www.sonder.com/ 40:56 - Marriott https://www.marriott.com/default.mi

Kim dives into the growing tension around short-term rentals like Airbnb and Vrbo, highlighting recent local incidents—including a St. Louis party-turned-shooting—and new restrictions making hosting less appealing. The conversation shifts to Clayton's fresh ordinance allowing limited short-term rentals in select older buildings, meant to fill long-vacant downtown spaces, with tight rules on building age, size, and minimum stay. Marc and Kim debate whether such controls will prevent abuse or inevitably lead to revoked permits, while noting other cities like St. Charles have also wrestled with bans and caps. They connect the topic to urban crime rates, with Marc criticizing political spin that blames “red states” instead of local city policies, and arguing that DC's crime drop should pressure St. Louis leaders to address staffing shortages, outdated juvenile justice rules, and lax enforcement.

Marc opens the hour with casual Friday chatter, sweepstakes reminders, and weekend plans before pivoting to major news: the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, ICE updates, and Southwest Airlines cutting Lambert Airport flights. He critiques media coverage of local politics and crime, noting selective reporting and potential hypocrisy. The hour includes Kim on a Whim, spotlighting short-term rental issues in St. Louis and Clayton's new ordinance to allow limited Airbnb-type rentals in older buildings. Local culture gets a boost with a feature on Cottle Village, a new Saint Charles entertainment and dining spot. Finally, Marc tackles media double standards in politically charged stories, contrasting the coverage of Caruso's pride flag incident with the delayed reporting on a MAGA-hat-wearing fan ejected from a St. Louis City SC game. Styx ticket giveaways and listener engagement round out the hour.
