the no BS podcast - Moving and Shaking with featured guest Steve Milo
play

08/19/21 • 61 min

In Charleston, Co-Hosts Mateo Bradford and John Stokinger connected (in person) at the Data and Revenue Management conference with Steve Milo CEO at VTrips.

Love him or love to hate him (or secretly wish you were him), you cannot deny the success of one of the world's largest vacation rental companies and personalities.

This was a big week for Milo and VTrips as 250 million of funding was secured through Hudson Hill Capital to aid in mergers and acquisitions.

Opinions will be what they are towards Steve and how he has and continues to position himself in the industry. With that said, no one individual has personally contributed or done more for advocacy protecting the rights of owners, operators, and hosts.

A fantastic interview with one of the sharpest minds in the short-term rental space.

Co-Hosts Mateo Bradford and John Stokinger get real with Cliff Johnson VP of New Homes at Reatlor.com.

Most of you know Cliff's story... Vacasa Co-Founder to Rented Chief Commercial Officer to now the VP of New Homes at Realtor.com.

Although Cliff has left the vacation rental space in which he has solidified himself as a first-ballot shoo-in in the Short-term Rental Hall of Fame, he wants you to know that he is not dead and no need to send flowers.

We talk about his current role, future ambitions, regrets, humble beginnings, and his feelings on the news that Vacasa will be publically listed with a 4.5 Billion dollar evaluation.

An amazing conversation with one of the brightest and most thoughtful minds in our industry.

A great conversation that touches podcasts in general, a HUGE going public announcement with Vacasa, and journeys that are just beginning in the vacation rental and short-term rental space.

Co-Hosts Mateo Bradford and John Stokinger talk candidly with Anthony Gantt Jr., At Ease Founder and Active Marine.

No punches were pulled in the making of this episode. Emphasis on "An Unfiltered Look"!

What an entrepreneur with a diverse background goes through in a funding world not built for all is mindblowing and unsettling.

Obtaining capital and growing a niche business is no easy task. Anthony brings his passion for Veterans and their families into our hospitality space with a fire and drive that you'd expect from a Marine officer.

Additionally, we discuss what giving back looks like on both the giving and receiving end.

This episode can and should make you question the way things "work" today.

the no BS podcast - Flood Gates Open in UK with featured guest Leo Walton
play

07/22/21 • 46 min

Co-Hosts Mateo Bradford and John Stokinger converse with Leo Walton, SUPERHOG Co-Founder & STAA board member.

"Freedom Day" has emerged in England this week with their pandemic restrictions being lifted across the board in one big wave.

Everyone in the hospitality industry is of course looking for things to get back to "normal"... but at what expense?

Leo gives us his view on the current situation in the UK, Western Europe, and the US and we dive into how one must adapt in this ever-changing world. Challenges have allowed Superhog to pivot in ways that they might not have been looking for all while continuing to build trust with their insurance offerings to property managers, hosts, homeowners, and guests.

Additionally, we establish that there's no crying in football (soccer)... or is there?

Co-Hosts Mateo Bradford and John Stokinger welcome Philip Kennard CEO at Futurestay.

The title is the moral of this story... or at least it should be.

The desire to offer "alternative accommodations" to travelers when away from home is something that hosts, vacation rental managers, property managers, superhosts, and everyone in between all have in common.

As an industry, whether by design or by accident, we have made unnecessary divides that ultimately are hurting our space as a whole.

Philip and Futurestay place industry-leading tech in the hands of hosts to giving them the tools to operate efficiently and successfully.

We discuss lopsided statistics, inclusion inadequacies, and project better environments for short-term rental business operations if coming from a focused look and level playing field.
