We recorded this episode on March 10th which now, 12 days later, feels like a year.  Still, many relevant comments in here to help us in the days to come plus a phone number to call us and let us know what’s happening in your neck of the woods so we can have input on our next recording.

Listen here. 

Andrew McConnell of Rented.com, and a frequent visitor to VR panels and the speaking circuit, joins us to discuss what “Google VR” really is and why we should be deathly afraid. Plus why we may want to look at OTAs in a different light…a positive light.

We also all discuss the Covid-19 virus and ideas of how to handle the mayhem and panic.

Check it out.

If only this episode was available back in the early 2000’s…Tim and Sarah could have avoided so many costly and time-consuming goof ups.

They share what they wish they would have known back then and dish out the goods on their biggest fails.

Avoid these mistakes! 

It’s not sexy…it’s safety.  Thinking through and creating processes and procedures around safety measures in vacation rentals is of the utmost importance, however.  Tim pointed out in our New Year’s episode that it will be one of the hot topics of 2020.

Justin Ford, the industry’s well-known guru of safety, weighs in on the top areas VR managers should be focused on as they create their safety plan. Hint: Trips & Falls are #1.

Buckle up & listen.

Clara Liang, head of Professional Hosting and their Luxe brands, spends 30 minutes or so giving us the low down on her background, how she is working for VR companies thru adapting Airbnb’s original one-property-one-host system and much more.
