How AI Is Changing the Short-Term Rental Game — with Bill Faeth & Chris Wharton - Episode #25

Every day you're not using AI in your STR business is a day you're leaving time and money on the table. The operators winning right now aren't working harder — they're working smarter, and tools like Claude are a big reason why. In this episode, Joe sits down with Bill Faeth and Chris Wharton to talk about how AI is transforming the short-term rental industry. Bill, Chris, and their team are actively building powerful AI skills inside Claude that are helping hosts and co-hosts automate tasks, cut overhead, and streamline operations in ways that used to require an entire team. If you've been relying heavily on virtual assistants or feel like you're constantly buried in the day-to-day of running your STR business, this episode is your sign to start paying attention. The gap between operators who adopt AI and those who don't is growing fast — and this conversation will show you exactly how to get on the right side of it.
