In this no-holds-barred conversation, Heather is joined by longtime friend of the show, Mark Simpson, to unpack the buzz - and backlash - surrounding Airbnb’s newly launched "Services" offering. From liability concerns to insurance gaps, Mark breaks down why this move is raising eyebrows in the host community and what you can do right now to protect your business.

Then, we switch gears and dive headfirst into the world of AI in vacation rentals. Mark shares how he’s been helping hosts build custom GPTs, boost productivity, and take back control of their marketing strategies.

If you're curious about how to harness AI without feeling overwhelmed, this episode delivers a masterclass in cutting through the fluff and getting to what works.
