From the virtual MZ Studios in cyberspace, Shawn Williams and Ryan Trimble visit with Luis Briones, Texas Public Policy and Government Affairs Director at Airbnb. A South Texas native, Briones is now seeing Dallas through the lens of hosts and visitors throughout the city. He speaks on the reality of ‘party homes’ in short term rentals, hotel occupancy tax, and how Airbnb is helping some hosts buy or stay in their homes.

After almost a year into the global pandemic, the nature of travel is changing, and Airbnb is prepared for what’s next and is ready to meet people where they are and where they’re yearning to go.

In other news, Shawn makes some fun and exciting life announcements. Tune in for life updates and Super Bowl talk with the guys, and to feel inspired to start planning your next COVID-safe getaway.
