In this episode, Alex shares the exact moment he realized he was building the wrong business. Burnt out, underpaid, and overwhelmed managing Airbnb units, he made a critical pivot—into a smarter, more scalable model: becoming a booking agent.

If you're tired of the guest drama, late cleaners, and constant messages, this episode shows you how to earn 15% commissions without managing properties, using funnels, automation, and AI to attract high-value corporate clients—even while you sleep.

BEST MOMENTS

“What if I stopped being the one doing all the work and started being the one that controlled the work?”

“The money, the leverage, and the freedom in this industry isn’t in the hosting—it’s in controlling the flow of the demand.”

“A good funnel changes the game. With the funnel, they come to you.”

“You didn’t lift a finger—not to clean a property, not to argue with guests, not to call Airbnb support. You just joined the dots.”

“AI isn’t replacing you—it’s freeing you.”

“Stop chasing bookings. Start attracting them.”

“The best time to own this funnel was last year. The second-best time is today.”

HOST BIOS

Alex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years. This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor-made ‘lifestyle by design.’

Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his time at home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunny Spain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.
