Turning Empty Spaces into Creative Gold How Evan Snow & Zero Empty Spaces Are Reimagining Vacant Real Estate

What happens when empty storefronts meet artists, technology, and a bold vision? In this episode of Two Tokens Short, Robert Delarosa and Mitch sit down with Evan Snow, founder of Zero Empty Spaces, to explore how vacant commercial real estate can be transformed into thriving creative ecosystems. Evan shares the origin story behind his first unconventional deal, how he convinced property owners to trust artists with unused space, and how a grassroots idea grew into 33 locations across four states supporting over 800 artists. The conversation dives deep into the real estate downturn, post-COVID opportunities, and how creativity, community, and emerging tech (including AI) are reshaping cities from Wynwood to the Bay Area. We cover: * Structuring win-win deals between landlords and artists * Activating dead retail and CRE without massive capital * Scaling a purpose-driven real estate model * The role AI can play in discovery, operations, and artist monetization * Why cities like Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco are ripe for creative revival No filler. No fluff. Just big ideas, real stories, and practical insight into the future of space, art, and urban innovation. Insert Coin, Unlock Conversation ...

Hotelyzer & The AI-Powered Hospitality Stack — Dimitrios Fyntikakis on Scaling 700+ Properties in Crete

In this episode of Two Tokens Short, Robert De La Rosa and Mitch sit down with Dimitrios Fyntikakis, co-founder of Hotelizer, to unpack how technology and AI are reshaping hotel and vacation-rental property management in Greece. Dimitrios shares how a front-desk job turned into a data-driven hospitality company—starting with better photos, stronger listings, and smarter channel strategy—then scaling through word-of-mouth into 700+ properties and €12M+ in annual reservation revenue. The conversation dives into the real mechanics behind growth: dynamic pricing, low-season challenges, direct bookings vs OTAs, automating review replies, AI agents for transfers and tours, and the operational reality of building systems when hiring great talent is harder than ever. We also get into what Dimitrios is most excited about next: using AI to remove repetitive work, free up creativity for his team, and keep guest experience (and reviews) at the center—because in his data, high ratings directly translate into serious revenue lift.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
