Podcast episode (recorded Nov 2, 2022) in which host Speaker A interviews Tatiana Taylor Tate, an award‑winning interior designer and marketing specialist based in Vancouver, about her seven‑plus years in short‑term rentals. Tatiana describes how personal loss and job loss led her to list her apartment on Airbnb, how hosting funded travel and then scaled into rental‑arbitrage, property management and international projects. Key themes: resilience and resourcefulness when handling crises (floods, pests, lockouts), the business value of strong interior design (style, bed sizes, guest experience), using Instagram (reels, consistency, content pillars) to build community and drive bookings, branding properties to attract preferred guest avatars (example: Black‑owned Dallas guesthouse with culturally relevant amenities), legal/ethical compliance, and practical advice for getting started (mentorship, contingency planning, worst‑case = convert to long‑term rent). Episode closes with travel and book recommendations and contact info (Instagram: Tatiana TT); brief outro by Mark Simpson promoting Boostly/IPRAC.
