About this listen
In the fast and changing world of short-term rentals on AirBNB, Vrbo, HomeAway, and TripAdvisor, government regulations can put you out of business overnight. These same regulations can also turbocharge your business in short order. So how do you position yourself and your short-term rental business for success?
When do you hold 'em and when do you fold 'em?
How can you find partners to help you succeed?
Well, in this volume, we take a pivot from our normal individualized authorship storytelling format to compile information and lessons learned on how to navigate the sticky world of regulations in your short-term rental market.
We will look at a few case studies in some cities around the world to give you ideas of how to better position yourself for continued success. We even have a special chapter on how local municipalities are using technology to monitor and shut down would-be violators of their short-term rental regulations.
Listen and learn how to beat the regulations by positioning your business legally for optimum long-term success.

Artificial Intelligence is a new buzzword. Everyone is talking about it. It's been implemented effectively in a number of industries. Though it's been slow to get moving in the real estate industry, it has taken over certain aspects of the industry and will grow rapidly in the next decade. As a real estate agent, real estate owner, or even just a person looking to buy/rent a new house, we're always looking to get the best price, best tenant, or best house that we can afford. And artificial intelligence is the tool that can work for everyone involved.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.
