Today is a 10th episode show and Jason is coming to you from the deck of a cruise ship and briefly talks about a 60 year old experiment and an early warning of a demographic cliff which will happen a few decades from now!
Greetings from the Symphony of the seas cruise ship! Jason gives us a very short tour of deck 5 and introduces our guest today: Jasper Ribbers of GetPaidForYourPad.com. They discuss investing in the short term rental space, building a ‘hospitality brand mindset’ regardless of what is happening in the market and how the industries or ‘ecosystems’ around it are affected. They also talk about how short term rentals are turning to be midterm rentals and how to find your customers outside of Airbnb.
Today’s Flashback Friday is from episode 1215 published last June 13, 2019.
Jason Hartman talks with G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island, about corporate scams. Too many people hide behind the veil that corporations offer; ripping off consumers and shareholders and letting the company take the punishment. G. Edward and Jason discuss this topic, as well as how we can actually change things to allow society to hold those responsible accountable.
