Unfortunately, what they did was take several draconian measures and backward steps in eliminating about 70% of all of the formerly licensed and legal properties in New Orleans. Megan McCrea (NASTRA) The city was basically trying to pass a ban on short ​ term rentals. And even those of us who were in operation would have to stop. Phil Minardi (Expedia) Right now in the US, we have over 4200 municipalities, I ​ would say, decent guests is that at least half of them at this point, have either had the conversation about regulations or are currently having them right now. Paige Teel (NEVRP) We are trying to figure out exactly how we want to be ​ defined, which has always been something that's been hard for us because we've we're not gonna say flown under the radar, but we've also not been regulated. So there's kind of a two edged sword to that, especially now due to the Coronavirus. David Krauss (Rent Responsibly) You need to be extremely aware of the fact ​ that a good actor can have a really bad day and be that story and city hall. Jessica Black (Moms Against Short Term Rentals) Unless you work with the ​ community to figure out how it makes sense. The battle is not gonna end Jonah Mechanic (Seabreeze VR San Diego) I don't think there's gonna be a ​ tourist destination in the entire US that by the year 2022 won't have some kind of a short term rental ordinance in place. Dana Lubner From my friends at VRMB communities. This is "How to Save Your ​ Vacation Rental Business," a 10 part educational series about the do's and don'ts of sustainable short term rentals. This episode is brought to you by Track powered by Travel Net Solutions providing integrated solutions to transform the way vacation rental hospitality works. I'm Dana Lubner and this episode is our wake up call. In this episode, we learn why inaction, complacency, and unwillingness to band together in the face of regulations are the greatest threat to our industry. Community-based advocacy has to be done. It's hard, but it works. And it never stops. Dana Lubner Hello, everyone and welcome to my show. I'm so excited to share ​ everything we've learned from some of the most courageous players in the industry. Matt Landau Hi, Dana. ​ Dana Lubner Good morning, Matt. ​ Matt Landau How are you? ​ Dana Lubner I'm doing great. How are you? It's so good to hear your voice. ​ Matt Landau It's good to hear your voice. I'm doing well. I'm especially excited ​ because this is the first episode of our podcast together. Are you stoked? Dana Lubner I am beyond stoked to be doing this. That's my colleague Matt Landau, ​ from VRMB. I've followed VRMB for a few years now and love the community and how it connects us all at a global level. Matt and I decided to team up to tackle this topic because hope is not a strategy. And this is the biggest threat to our future. I'll lean on him throughout this episode and at certain times throughout the rest of the season. Matt Landau So what are we here to talk about today? What is this podcast all ​ about anyway? Dana Lubner This podcast is all about advocacy, ​ Matt Landau Or should we say this is not about advocacy at all? Dun Dun Dun... ​ Dana Lubner It's bigger than advocacy, but it is related and something that has been ​ near and dear to my heart for the last few years. Matt Landau The word advocacy we like to joke about it, but it's kind of a boring ​ word, right? You hear it and you don't really get excited to listen or do anything. Dana Lubner The word and turn people off whether it's just not something that's ​ exciting or they're intimidated by it. Matt Landau Over the course of our interviews over the last few months. Have ​ you come up with a replacement for advocacy? What is this podcast about if it's not about advocacy? Dana Lubner The word that I've fallen in love with as a replacement for advocacy is ​ "community." And that's really what we're talking about here is how to build community and sustainability for the industry. Phil Minardi, Director of Policy and communications for Expedia Group, does a great job explaining this intersection of community and advocacy. Phil Minardi (Expedia) I would say advocacy is more than policy work. One of ​ the challenges for local alliances is to stay together after a campaign is done. And, Dana, I know you understand this acutely after the shared goal of policy solutions is behind them. A lot of groups get back to regular order, they go back to the important work of putting heads in beds and welcoming folks to their communities. So the local Alliance, the local group, the local engagement falls by the wayside. The truth is, we have an incredible opportunity to position ourselves as community leaders, not just vacation rental operators. Dana Lubner Phil's my go to guy because he's the one that actually shows up, rolls up ​ his sleeves and genuinely asks how he can help and be of service. Matt, what do you think of community? Matt Landau I've always really liked community. But I've also come up with my ​ own replacement, and that is "readiness." I've been looking into the world of disaster preparedness, preparing for whether it's a natural disaster, or even something like if you go off hiking in the woods with 16 friends, you need to have some preparedness there some readiness, whether it's a compass, or telephone, or a first-aid kit. And what we've been learning is that a disaster will strike any given vacation rental destination, if it hasn't already, likely will sometime soon, you got to be ready. Jonah Mechanic (Seabreeze VR San Diego) To be honest, we're, we're in the ​ reactive group, as much as I said, it would be great for more people to be thinking proactively, you know, we we're guilty of being reactive as well. So we're kind of right now just fighting the fight and doing whatever we can do to keep our heads above water and keep a band from coming down. Dana Lubner That was Jonah Mechanic in San Diego, proving that even the best ​ operators in the industry struggle with these issues every day. So no matter what we call it, whether it's advocacy, or community or readiness, we're talking about the same thing here. The basis of this is all about creating sustainability for your business. Matt Landau Yeah. Do you want to continue running your business profitably in ​ the future? If the answer is yes, this is the podcast for you. Matt Landau So Dana, I want to take a moment to heap some praise on you, ​ would you mind, Dana Lubner I'm totally flattered. ​ Matt Landau It's a nice way to start off the podcast season. For those who don't ​ know, Dana, she sort of came on to our radar over the last few years with her amazing community leadership work in Denver, Colorado, your Mile High Hosts group is how old now, Dana? Dana Lubner Our group started in the Spring of 2019. ​ Matt Landau And you are going through this advocacy or community leadership ​ process yourself, you're actively figuring out how to do things with no guidebook or instruction manual. And we thought it would be a great idea to help you do that by introducing you to people who are actively doing it well, but also to document your process to kind of archive it so that other vacation rental professionals can follow along. What's your big kind of goal for the episodes of this podcast for our listeners? Dana Lubner I want to make advocacy and community efforts approachable for ​ everyone. I don't want it to be something that turns them off when they hear the word or they think that they don't have any experience with policy and they can't get into it. I want this to be a practical how to so everyone feels empowered to step up and do their part. Matt Landau Yeah, I like that. And I particularly like your obsession with ​ actionable tips. There are so many interviews that we'll be featuring this season where you really just sink your teeth into a topic and ask the expert to explain it on a granular level, how they did it. And that's really what people want to hear. At least that's what you as a leader of an advocacy group in Denver would find useful, right? Dana Lubner It's Great to hear about everything that people have accomplished.

Safety brief: check. Preflight checks: complete. Next up: a 400 mph ride with the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, better known as the Thunderbirds. The Thunderbirds landed at Peterson May 26 in preparation for the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony May 28. As part of their community outreach program, the squadron provides selected community figures with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to ride in the backseat of one of the Thunderbirds aircraft. “I was very surprised at first when I received the phone call,” said Chief Christopher Riley, Colorado Springs Fire Department chief and selected guest Thunderbirds passenger. “I am very honored and excited about the oppor- tunity to fly with the Thunderbirds.” Riley was one of two VIPs selected to fly with the world-famous Thunderbirds. The other was local TV personality and meteo- rologist, Rachael Plath of KRDO News. “I am not nervous, these people (the Thunderbird squadron) are complete pro- fessionals and have a lot of experience with handling guests like myself,” said Riley. “I did a little research, but from watching TV, the news and movies, I have a pretty good idea about what I am getting myself into.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Michael Golembesky) The individuals selected for this unique PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – Chief Christopher Riley, with the Colorado Springs Fire Department, fastens his restraint harness after putting on a gravity-suit opportunity are selected from a handful of May 27, in preparation for a ride in an F-16 Fighting Falcon, the aircraft flown by the U.S.

  • Songs of Sinatra Steve Tyrell
    Songs of Sinatra Steve Tyrell I never met Frank Sinatra, but I wish I had. Frank created a genre of musical expression that has remained timeless and everlasting, and unlike the disposable pop culture of today will live forever as long as it has a chance to be heard. Frank Sinatra and his music have no expiration date; they are always cool and current. He sang the great songs and expressed the words in a way that makes the listener understand the intentions of the songwriter. I only met the Sinatra family after I started to make my standards albums. I received a very complimentary message after my second album "Standard Time" from Frank Sinatra, Jr. He told me how much he liked my first two albums and encouraged me to continue doing what I was doing. He complimented my vocal approach, my arrangements and the musicians I chose to use on those albums, many of whom he knew personally and had worked with his father. Nancy Sinatra had also gone way out of her way to encourage me and compliment my standards albums. We have become great friends and have often played the same venues around the country as I have also done with Frank, Jr. Tina was the next family member to encourage me, and we have become very good friends. She comes to my performances and has always referred to my albums and performances "as me keeping their music alive." Imagine, me keeping Frank's music alive: quite an encouraging statement, but that's what Tina, Frank and Nancy have told me ever since I started making my standards albums.

You wanta live forever? — Unknown platoon sergeant, 1918 I always get the shakes before a drop. I’ve had the injections, of course, and hypnotic preparation, and it stands to reason that I can’t really be afraid. The ship’s psychiatrist has checked my brain waves and asked me silly questions while I was asleep and he tells me that it isn’t fear, it isn’t anything important — it’s just like the trembling of an eager race horse in the starting gate. I couldn’t say about that; I’ve never been a race horse. But the fact is: I’m scared silly, every time. At D-minus-thirty, after we had mustered in the drop room of theRodger Young , our platoon leader inspected us. He wasn’t our regular platoon leader, because Lieutenant Rasczak had bought it on our last drop; he was really the platoon sergeant, Career Ship’s Sergeant Jelal. Jelly was a Finno-Turk from Iskander around Proxima — a swarthy little man who looked like a clerk, but I’ve seen him tackle two berserk privates so big he had to reach up to grab them, crack their heads together like coconuts, step back out of the way while they fell. Off duty he wasn’t bad — for a sergeant.

    GUMBO A full-length musical For New Orleans "I wonder if Katrina is becoming like one of those fairytales for Americans. It's something we can't get our imaginations around. It's too large for that, and so instead it seems to be fragmenting into a thousand parables, some of them right, some of them very wrong, and most of them defying categorization all together." ―Rivka Galchen, The New Yorker * SETTING - Above, around and inside the bowl of a Crescent City―the City is a mythic representation of the great city of New Orleans. - The Gumbo Pot, an underwater speakeasy of today Note: There should be virtually no set—the people/ The City should embody the ever- shifting worlds. TIME In and around a timeless August 29 to late September 2005 NOTES ON ACCENT/DIALOGUE "Mrs. Reilly called it that accent that occurs south of New Jersey only in New Orleans, that Hoboken near the Gulf of Mexico." ―John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces - Not your “traditional” Southern accent. No Streetcar, please. It’s about attitude more than accent: an easiness on the words that reflects the City’s approach toward life. - Slashes (/) and dashes (--) indicate when a line is cut off and the next person begins speaking.
