  • There’s always a way!

    Mike and E you guys are such an incredible inspiring team! The hotel con episode gets me fired up to get clearer on my goals and share them with my accountability team.

    2025 is the year to purchase a 10-12 room boutique hotel in the Lakes region.

    I just love hospitality and serving Gods people. Thank you for standing firmly in your vision and outside your comfort zones.

  • Can’t believe how much I resonate with this

    This is literally the 1st time I hear about this podcast. My husband sent it to me via text message last night because I was already in bed. He wrote: “It made me think about you specially the last part after 40min”

    I didn’t even need to get that far… this episode alone made me a fan.

    I am transitioning from the traditional 9 to 5 life and crafting the life of my dreams. And this episode was delivered into my ears at a time I needed it most.

    Thank you 🙏🏽

Airbnb's New Rental Agreement Ban: What Hosts Can Still Do Legally (w/ Katie Johnson, STR Law)
Q: What are maybe your recommended rental agreements, and where are the gaps there that you see that we all know about?
Katie says Airbnb's terms primarily protect Airbnb, while a host's own rental agreement can provide protections such as arbitration and a jury waiver. She recommends liability waivers, assumption-of-risk language, amenity rules, and restrictions on parties and occupancy.
