In this episode, Tanya Rooney joins the discussion to explore the concept of "unreasonable hospitality" and how even minor acts can greatly enhance guest experiences. The conversation emphasizes the significance of regularly evaluating business operations.

Rooney shares her personal journey into short-term rentals, along with her preferences regarding property management. The hosts discuss adapting to short-term rentals through experimentation, as well as addressing challenges with hospitality to elevate guest experiences.

The discussion then shifts to the fixation on achieving five-star reviews, and strategies for regaining control from Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) by prioritizing marketing and direct bookings are also covered.

Rooney's preference for managing a smaller, high-quality business leads to a conversation about the challenges of scaling versus maintaining quality. The hosts explore the idea of pursuing passion projects over soulless scaling, and Rooney provides a referral for a future podcast guest.
