In this episode of The Hideaway Show, hosts Jordan Holmes and Mike Sebastian delve into the importance of diversifying one’s short-term rental business beyond platforms like Airbnb.
They discuss potential implications if a co-founder, Joe Gebbia, causes disruptions leading to an Airbnb downfall. Mike emphasizes the critical need for establishing direct booking systems, collecting email lists, and leveraging social media to build a sustainable business.
They share lessons learned from their own experiences managing unique rental properties, and the severe consequences of relying solely on third-party platforms. The podcast underscores the necessity of proactive measures to ensure business continuity and resilience in a volatile market.
