Dr. Andy Southerland and Dr. Shyam Prabhakaran explain the significance of these guidelines and why they are important.  Show citation:  Prabhakaran S, Gonzalez NR, Zachrison KS, et al. 2026 Guideline for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Guideline From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. Stroke. Published online January 26, 2026. doi:10.1161/STR.0000000000000513  Show transcript:  Dr. Andy Southerland: Hello everyone. This is Andy Southerland from the University of Virginia. And for this week's Neurology Minute, I've just been speaking with my colleague, Shyam Prabhakaran, from the University of Chicago, who was the Chair of the 2026 AHA/ASA guidelines for the early management of patients with Acute Ischemic stroke published in the January 2026 online version of the journal, Stroke. So Shyam, in our brief Neurology Minute today, why don't you just give a plea about why these guidelines are so important? Dr. Shyam Prabhakaran: Thanks, Andy. These guidelines are the first guidelines since 2019, so a lot has happened. So when you look at these guidelines, you'll see a lot of new recommendations. In fact, I think the majority have been revised in some way or another. And I'd point to the actual guideline document, which is in the journal Stroke online January '26, and the print version will be for the March edition of the journal Stroke. In addition to that, I'd say because you want to have interpretability and ease of practice, there are a bunch of derivatives on the AHA website that are very useful. They include case studies, they include figures and workflows that could be really useful for you to have these conversations. And there's even a slide deck that was prepared by our AHA ambassadors. There are these young whippersnappers that did a great job putting together a slide deck for anyone to use. They can use that to have conversations locally or anywhere they want. I encourage people, read the guidelines, but then also use the derivative products that people spent a lot of time on developing. Dr. Andy Southerland: Thank you, Shyam. I think that's a great message from the Chair of the writing group, that when you look at these guidelines, they can seem daunting. But the way you all have provided all these additional resources and analogs for people to interpret it and apply it in their own stroke centers and practice, I think folks definitely will be running out to do that, just to seek out the full guideline, and let's apply all this great new evidence to better care for our patients. So Shyam, thanks again for joining us for this week's Neurology Minute.

Der beste Sonnenuntergang, der leckerste Nachtmarkt, ein indigenes Dorf hoch in den Bergen und dazwischen die Geschichte einer jungen Demokratie. Taiwan ist eine hochspannende Insel und genau JETZT ist die Zeit, um sie zu entdecken. Die Stadt Kenting im Süden riecht nach Meer und Streetfood.

In this episode of the STR Investing Podcast, co-host Mark Lumpkin sits down with Jack Roberts from STR Cribs to talk sales, design, and what it really takes to build high-performing short-term rentals today.Jack breaks down why “being real” wins in sales, how to build trust fast, and why the best salespeople don't hide behind scripts or corporate talk. From there, we get into STR design strategy, how guest expectations keep evolving, and why you can't out-design a bad property.We cover:Why Jack says “I am the sales pitch”How to break down walls and get clients to open upThe difference between designing for homeowners vs. designing for guestsWhat refreshes actually move revenue (and what's just wasted spend)Why STRs can pivot faster than hotelsJack's favorite travel inspiration spots, plus rapid-fire favoritesConnect with Jack:Linkedin: @jackroberts00Book a call: STRCribs.com__Episode Sponsored By:STR SearchSTR Search is the industry leading property finder service.

Travelers say they're worried about the economy — but they're still packing their bags. 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 episode, Natalie Palmer shares how she scaled from co-hosting in a single condo complex to raising capital for luxury destination properties.

Colin and I just spent two nights at Bolt Farm Treehouse and I'll be honest… I can't turn the hospitality side of my brain off. If you're in the short-term rental or boutique hotel world, you already know their story. It's talked about a lot. But this episode isn't about the hype. It's about what it actually feels like to check in as a guest at a high-end brand everyone admires. What surprised me. What impressed me. What made me pause. Because here's the truth: not everything was perfect. There was a last-minute room switch. An "all-inclusive" experience that wasn't fully inclusive for dietary needs. A few small design and communication hiccups. And yet… it still worked. We still left feeling connected. Rested. Thought about. Why? Because the welcome was strong. The intention was clear. The storytelling was emotional. From the curated in-room upgrades to the cocktail hour experience to the way they invited guests into something bigger than just a place to sleep, there were so many moments that reminded me what hospitality is actually about. In this episode, I break down: ➡️What they did exceptionally well ➡️Where clarity and alignment could have been stronger ➡️What "all-inclusive" really needs to mean ➡️How guest flow impacts shared spaces like wellness areas ➡️Why appealing to all five senses changes everything And the biggest takeaway? Your property does not have to be flawless to be unforgettable. Excellence isn't perfection. It's thoughtfulness. It's alignment. It's making sure the experience you promise is the experience your guest actually walks into. If you're building a micro-resort, refining your STR, or dreaming about something bigger, this one will challenge you in the best way. Let's get into it.

What happens when success looks good on paper—but feels heavy behind the scenes?In this episode, Stacey sits down with longtime friend and seasoned short-term rental operator Beata Lawrence for a deeply honest conversation about leadership, loneliness, and the power of the right community. With over a decade in the STR industry, Beata shares what it was like building before there were playbooks, Facebook groups, or proven paths—and how connection became the missing ingredient that changed everything.This episode goes beyond tactics and into the emotional and identity shifts required to sustain success without burnout.We talk about:What it was really like building an STR business before community and resources existedWhy isolation is one of the biggest (and quietest) threats to successful entrepreneursThe concept of “borrowed courage” and why even confident leaders need itHow to recognize when you've outgrown a room—and what to do nextLetting go of properties, paths, or identities that no longer alignWhy alignment, nervous-system safety, and support matter more than scale aloneIf you've ever felt successful but unsupported, confident but quietly overwhelmed, or strong while still wishing someone could walk you off the ledge—this conversation is your reminder that community isn't a luxury. It's a requirement.⏱️ Highlights & Key Moments[02:52] Beata shares what it felt like building in the early days with no roadmap[07:14] The emotional cost of “figuring it out alone”[10:54] Borrowed courage: leaning on others when your confidence wavers[15:18] Knowing when a property—or a season—is no longer aligned[19:17] Outgrowing communities and why staying too long can stall growth[24:47] Why success without support is not sustainable[30:04] Redefining what “enough” looks like in business and lifeGolden Nuggets“You don't need more information—you need the right people.”“Borrowed courage can carry you until yours catches up.”“Just because something is profitable doesn't mean it's sustainable for you.”“Outgrowing a room isn't betrayal—it's evolution.”“You were never meant to do hard things alone.”

Ever wanted to cycle the South Island of New Zealand?Rebecca Gross shares an honest update from her time bikepacking the South Island. It was a bikepacking trip shaped by relentless rain and freezing summer temperatures. This led to long days of riding chasing weather windows that would allow for side quests such as hiking around Mount Cook.  From Te Araroa sections and west coast gravel to the high mountains around Mount Cook, the final days of riding saw her and partner Javi ride into Paradise near Queenstown.A must listen if cycling in New Zealand on the South Island is on your own bucket list. Be sure to give Rebecca a follow via her instagram - @Rebecca_Grb EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/STR Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee  Support the showBuy me a coffee!

On Monday's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Wil Slickers, Michael Goldin, Brandreth Canaley, and Jamie Lane dig into the latest headlines shaping online travel, short-term rentals, and platform strategy. Otamiser has secured $2M in fresh capital to scale its AI-driven revenue platform for hotels and STR operators, highlighting continued investor interest in tech that boosts OTA visibility and revenue. Airbnb is testing loyalty benefits — exploring non-traditional perks and potential paid-member mechanics that CEO Brian Chesky says could be a “massive accelerant” for repeat stays. The team also breaks down how Airbnb's hotel strategy is expanding far beyond pilot programs into broader markets, revisiting its competitive stance versus OTAs like Booking.com and others. Tripadvisor CEO Matt Goldberg acknowledged in a confidential memo that recent share price volatility and investor frustration with slow AI progress are weighing on the business, while Sabre Corporation announced layoffs and leadership reshuffles as it pivots toward becoming an “AI-native” tech provider.

Ultra cyclist Lotti Power has completed the Atlas Mountain Race, the Hellenic Mountain Race, and the Silk Road Mountain Race in a single season. Often the youngest rider on the start line, Lotti did not come into ultra cycling through a traditional racing background. Instead she embraces the idea of learning by doing  and it has to be said it has served her well!Lotti first came into long distance riding through the world of Audax. What began with brevets and Paris Brest Paris quickly opened the door to much bigger ideas, She signe up for the Transcontinental and decided to take race the Trans Pyrenees as a team of two with her dad as preparation! Since that she has gradually pushed herself into taking on  more remote and demanding terrain.A defining part of Lotti's story is how she travels. She rides to start lines, carries a minimal setup, often sleeps without a tent, and makes decisions as she goes. That choice shapes how she trains, how she approaches events, and how she responds when things get complicated, whether that is punctures, heat, long stretches of desert, or the mental weight of being far away from friends and family.In this conversation, we talk about learning ultra cycling by doing it,  standing on a podium she never expected, and trusting herself in situations where there is no clear plan. Lotti shares  how riding to events has influenced every part of her racing, and why she believes motivation and time matter more than experience or  labels.Be sure to follow Lotti via her instagram - @LottiPower EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/STR Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee  Check out Old Man Mountain for the perfect way to carry gear on your bike.

Und er qualmt noch immer! Seit seinem Ausbruch am 19. September 2021 ist der Tajogaite nicht gänzlich zur Ruhe gekommen. 83 Tage lang spuckte der Vulkan Feuer, riesige Lavamassen schoben sich glühend über die grüne Insel bis in den Atlantik. Es war der längste historische Ausbruch auf La Palma. Rund 1.600 Gebäude wurden zerstört, Tausende Menschen verloren ihr Zuhause. Noch heute steigt Dampf aus den Poren und Spalten des Vulkans in den kanarischen Himmel. Vulkanologen beruhigen allerdings, es handele sich überwiegend um reinen Wasserdampf. Eine Wanderung über das erkaltete Lavafeld ist ein spezielles Erlebnis.Mindestens ebenso sehenswert ist die Hauptstadt der Insel Santa Cruz. Der historische Stadtkern ist bestens erhalten, bunte Holzbalkone und ein Kopfsteinpflaster prägen das Bild. Der Hafen der Stadt gehörte im 16. Jahrhundert zu den größten in Europa, war wichtiger Handelsplatz zwischen Spanien, Europa und Amerika. Kleine urige Restaurants und Cafés bieten genügend Abwechslung und Entspannung bei einem Stadtbummel.Nicht versäumen sollte man auf La Palma ein Bad im Atlantik. Auch in den Wintermonaten sinken die Temperaturen selten unter 18 Grad, kleine, meist leere Buchten mit feinem, schwarzen Lavastrand sind eine besondere Erfahrung. Wem allerdings der Atlantik mit seinen Wellen und Strömungen zu gefährlich ist, dem seien sogenannte Natur-Pools empfohlen. Kleine von Lavafelsen umgebene natürliche Buchten, so gebaut, dass ein Bad im Atlantik gefahrlos möglich ist.La Palma, die grüne Vulkaninsel im Atlantik, hat ihren Gästen einiges zu bieten. https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/reisen/la-palma-ein-kleines-paradies/hr/ZjFmZjdhZGQtNDNiZi00Y2QwLThiYjItYzdmM2JiZjg2MmMzReportagen von Carsten Vick

In this episode of the STR Investing Podcast, co-host Mark Lumpkin sits down with Lance Morgan, founder of College Funding Secrets, to break down a different way to think about short-term rentals—using them to help pay for college and reduce taxes.Lance explains how high-income families can reposition college savings, lower “financial aid income” on paper, and use STR tax benefits (bonus depreciation) as what he calls “tax scholarships.” The goal: stop writing big checks for tuition and instead buy an asset that can help cover college costs while continuing to generate long-term wealth.We also talk about:Why the “secret cost of college” can be over $1M when you factor in opportunity costHow STR cash flow can cover student loan payments after graduationWhy income matters more than assets when qualifying for aidCreative alternatives like “box houses” and other tax strategy rabbit holesLance's STR portfolio growth and what he's building next: Scholarship Houses + Scholarship VacationsConnect with Lance:CollegeFundingSecrets.comScholarshipHouse.com (and ScholarshipVacations.com coming soon)__Episode Sponsored By:STR SearchSTR Search is the industry leading property finder service.

Fast alle russischen Politiker, die vor Jahren in Russland gegen Wladimir Putin arbeiteten, leben heute im Ausland, nicht wenige in Deutschland. Der wichtigste Oppositionelle war sicherlich Alexej Nawalny, der vor zwei Jahren mit dem Gift Epibatidin in einem Gefangenenlager umgebracht wurde. Nun wollen andere eine Alternative zu Putin, ein "besseres Russland", im Exil vorbereiten. Doch geht das aus dem Ausland, fern vom russischen Volk, abgeschnitten durch Internet-Blockaden und Reiseverbote? Die russischen Politiker versuchen es auf verschiedenen Wegen, mit Demonstrationen in Berlin, YouTube-Auftritten, Konferenzen – und neuerdings auch mit einer Vertretung der russischen Opposition in der Parlamentarischen Versammlung des Europarats.   In dieser Folge von "Der Ostcast" diskutieren Michael Thumann und Alice Bota die Möglichkeiten der russischen Exil-Politikerinnen und Aktivisten, in Russland an Einfluss zu gewinnen. Sie sprechen über unterschiedliche Strömungen und die heftigen Streitereien innerhalb der Opposition. Sie fragen nach ihrer Haltung zu Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine, ihrem Ansehen in der russischen Bevölkerung – und nach ihren Erfolgsaussichten, Putin vom Thron zu stoßen.  Alle drei Wochen sprechen wir im "Ostcast" über Politik und Gesellschaft der osteuropäischen Länder. Alice Bota berichtet von ihren Gesprächen und Erfahrungen in Osteuropa, Michael Thumann erzählt von seinen Begegnungen und Reisen in Russland und den Nachbarländern.  Alle Folgen des Podcasts finden Sie hier.

Latvijas iedzīvotājiem izkrāptās naudas summas ik gadu ir mērāmas daudzos miljonos eiro. Ko atbildīgās institūcijas var darīt, lai mazinātu krāpniecību digitālajā vidē. Par to diskusija raidījumā Krustpunktā. Analizē Iekšlietu ministrijas valsts sekretārs Dimitrijs Trofimovs, "CERT.LV" kiberdrošības eksperts Gints Mālkalnietis, SEB bankas Drošības pārvaldes vadītājs Mārcis Pelcis un LMT Privātpersonu apkalpošanas dienesta direktore Ilze Saulīte. Apmēram pāris miljonu mēnesī - tik daudz pagājušā gadā noziedzniekiem izdevās izkrāpt naudu no Latvijas iedzīvotājiem. Bizness rullē, jo vēl pirms gada summa bija par trešdaļu mazāka. Arvien lielāka izdoma, arvien lielāks ieguvums un arvien lielākas sirdssāpes cilvēkiem, jo nav joka lieta pazaudēt visus savus iekrājumus, reizēm īpašumus, iedzīvoties parādos. Protams, visi pēc tam mēģina analizēt, kā viņi tā iekrita, bet ir arī jāuzdod jautājums, ko valsts dara, lai sekmīgāk cīnītos pret pieaugušo noziedzību šajā jomā. Ir zināms, ka Iekšlietu ministrija arī rosina šādas jaunas iniciatīvas. Strīdīgākā no tām ir aizliegt nereģistrētu priekšapmaksas telekaršu pārdošana Latvijā. Cik efektīvi ir pašreizējie piedāvājumi cīņā ar krāpniecību? Ko vēl vajadzētu darīt, lai kaut kā šo riebīgo rūpalu bremzētu?

The short-term rental industry is shifting fast — and if you're not paying attention, you'll get left behind. In this episode, I'm breaking down the six biggest takeaways from the IMN Conference, where top operators managing hundreds of properties reveal what's really happening behind the scenes. From venture capital moves to AI breakthroughs, here's what you need to know before 2026. 5 Key Takeaways: Venture capital is quietly buying 100–200 unit property managers and reshaping the industry. Luxury rentals are outperforming commodity listings as investors chase higher returns. 80% of guest experience depends on processes — and poor systems lead to bad reviews. AI is transforming guest communication and operations — but no single tool does it all. Design matters more than ever: invest in your top 5 photos, prioritize comfort, and create visual impact. The STR market is evolving quickly — and the operators who adapt will win. Whether it's refining your processes, leveraging AI, or repositioning toward luxury, now is the time to level up. If you found value in this episode, subscribe, share it with another operator, and keep building smarter.

Kenny Bedwell explains why short-term rentals are harder today—and how data, design, and discipline still create outsized returns.In this episode of RealDealChat, Kenny Bedwell—short-term rental investor, former Citibank data analyst, and founder of STR Insights—breaks down what has actually changed in the Airbnb market over the last eight years.Kenny shares his journey from house hacking a duplex in Buffalo to owning short-term rentals across multiple states and even operating a hotel. We dive into why the “throw it on Airbnb and print money” era is over, how competition and regulation reshaped the landscape, and why data—not hype—must drive every STR decision today.This conversation covers how Kenny uses nationwide data to identify high-ROI markets most investors overlook, why regulated markets can still outperform, how to self-manage STRs without burning out, and what amenities and design choices actually move the revenue needle. Kenny also shares his most expensive mistakes, why parking and neighbors matter more than Instagram aesthetics, and how to think about guest avatars instead of generic “travelers.”If you're considering short-term rentals—or already in the game and feeling squeezed—this episode will reset your expectations and sharpen your strategy.

Travis Burns is Executive Vice President of Business Development at Remington Hospitality, where he's helping scale the company's third-party management platform. A former aerospace professional turned hotelier, he walked into the Hyatt Regency Tulsa Downtown asking for any job, and built a career spanning sales, operations, and investment strategy. In this episode, he unpacks profit over prestige, luxury's lift, and gut-driven growth. • Why GOPPAR matters more than RevPAR • How to win the GOP war—even if you lose the STR report battle • What your business mix really costs you (and why it matters) • How to know when saying yes is a trap • The intuition advantage in a world drowning in data • Why being first isn't always best in hotel innovation • The real driver behind luxury's post-COVID surge • Why great luxury GMs still have to obsess over labor and cost control • Why new capital—not institutions—may drive 2026 transactions • The one change Travis would make to the industry overnight *** Our Top Three Takeaways Revenue Without Profit Is a Mirage One of the clearest themes in this conversation is Travis's insistence that top-line performance is meaningless without margin discipline. He pushes owners and operators to look beyond RevPAR and focus on GOPPAR, emphasizing that not all revenue is created equal once costs are accounted for. The real work, he argues, is understanding *how* revenue is generated and being willing to sacrifice headline wins in favor of long-term profitability. The K-Shaped Recovery Is Reshaping Hotel Strategy Travis offers a grounded explanation for why luxury and upper-upscale hotels continue to outperform other segments. It's not that affluent travelers are price-insensitive; it's that post-COVID travelers are taking fewer trips and assigning more value to each one. When travel becomes part of the story rather than just a place to sleep, guests are willing to pay more, as long as luxury remains distinctive and doesn't slide into sameness. Say Yes, but Know When and Why On careers and leadership, Travis reframes the familiar advice to "say yes" with an important caveat: every investment of time and effort should come with an exit strategy. Early-career hustle only works when it leads somewhere, whether that's growth, learning, or the next opportunity. Without a clear payoff, ambition turns into exploitation, and knowing the difference is a critical leadership skill.

On this episode of Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Wil Slickers⁠, ⁠Jamie Lane⁠, Brandreth Canaley⁠, and ⁠Michael Goldin dive into the latest shifts across short-term rentals and online travel. They start with Brian Chesky dismissing rivals' chatbots and arguing that Airbnb's AI advantage is rooted in its marketplace and community data, then unpack Airbnb's new report positioning STRs as a critical pressure valve for lodging demand during peak travel periods. The conversation then turns to Expedia Group's Q4 2025 earnings, where stronger B2B results helped offset softer consumer trends, before closing on leadership tension at Casago as franchisees react to shifting power dynamics. The episode wraps with a broader look at AI strategy, consolidation, and who really controls distribution in today's STR ecosystem.

Ever thought about bikepacking across multiple countries?In this episode, I chat with Belgian bikepacker Xiao, known online as @Ciao_Xiao, who set off on a long journey from China back to Belgium.Xiao first got into bike travel as a teenager, riding with his mum and later heading off with friends when time was plentiful and money was not. That curiosity eventually grew into a much bigger ride, beginning in eastern China and unfolding west through Central Asia.In this conversation, we talk about:How early bike trips shaped the way Xiao travelsWhat it is really like to cross China by bike, region by regionRiding through Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan and camping high in the mountainsCold nights, mechanical problems, and figuring things out as you goHis time riding through Afghanistan and how that experience shifted his perspectiveWhy bikepacking often works best without a rigid planThis episode is a grounded look at long-distance bikepacking, curiosity-led travel, and what you notice when you move slowly through the world on two wheels.Be sure to give Xiao a follow on YouTube and also via his instagram - @Ciao__Xiao EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/STR Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee  Check out Old Man Mountain for the perfect way to carry gear on your bike.

257: In this episode, I'm joined by Kay Walker, a former short-term rental powerhouse who built a portfolio of 100+ Airbnb units before pivoting into land investing.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/257)We talk about her first accidental land deal, how she made more money with fewer headaches, and why she intentionally keeps her business small. Kay reveals how her STR experience shaped her land approach, how she transformed her direct mail strategy, and why control and creativity give her the edge.We also dig into her standout marketing tactics, why she mails everything herself, her thoughts on being a woman of color in this space, and what she'd do differently if she had to start over.If you want to learn land from someone who doesn't follow the typical playbook, this is it.
