In todays episode, Alex reveals why the old rent-to-rent and Airbnb hosting model is no longer the smart play in today’s saturated short-term rental market. Instead, the future belongs to connectors – people who own the demand, not the properties.
Alex breaks down how to build a booking agency that links high-value corporate clients with existing property operators, creating predictable, scalable income without the stress, risk, or capital outlay of running units yourself. You’ll discover how to leverage AI, funnels, and relationships to secure repeat business worth tens of thousands per year – and why this pivot could be the most important move you make in 2025.

BEST MOMENTS
“Owning properties doesn’t give you freedom – owning demand does.”
“We’ve flipped the model on its head. Instead of depending on a platform, we’ve become the platform.”
“You’re not limited by your calendar, your city, or how many hours you work – only by how many people you can help.”
“The people who win in this next chapter won’t be the ones with the most properties, they’ll be the ones with the most clients.”

HOST BIOS
Alex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years. This Airbnb business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor-made ‘lifestyle by design.’
Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer to spend more time with his growing family, and Alex spends most of his time in sunny Spain enjoying road cycling or hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.
