Airbnb on The Iced Coffee Hour

This episode is in partnership with Airbnb. Graham and I are literally always traveling for the podcast. And in fact, these past few weeks have been very brutal. We have worked so much, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm actually going to both Thailand and Japan for the next three weeks with a couple of close friends. I cannot tell you how excited I am for that. The beaches in Thailand, to die for. The food in Thailand, amazing. And I'm telling you, it's going to be a blast. If you travel a bunch, you probably don't think twice about your home sitting empty. But when you're away, you could actually list your place on Airbnb instead of leaving it unused. And if you've ever considered hosting but weren't sure how you'd manage everything, the co-host network can help make it feel a lot more manageable. With this, you could partner with a local co-host who has hosting experience. It can help manage things like creating a listing, managing reservations, messaging guests, and helping make sure everything runs smoothly during their stay. Honestly, it just feels like a practical way to make better use of a space while also bringing in a little extra cash while you're away. At one point, I hosted my place on Airbnb. I kid you not, the guy that checked in was a fan of the channel. I've never said this before. It was a crazy experience, but the entire setup was very straightforward. Everything ran smoothly and it turned into a genuinely great experience overall. If you're interested in hosting and you want a little help getting started, find a co-host at airbnb.com slash host.
