      Jan 23 2026

Risk-free.What happens when Airbnb announces that the new standard for professional hosts is 4.9 stars or above… and properties below that rating risk losing visibility, placement, and revenue?In this episode of Get Paid For Your Pad, Kaye Putnam (Head of Marketing at Freewyld and Freewyld Foundry) sits down with Eric Moeller, CEO of Freewyld and Freewyld Foundry, to decode what separates 4.9-star portfolios from the rest of the market.After analyzing hundreds of top-rated Airbnb listings with 4.9+ ratings, Kaye identified four core attributes that guests consistently call out in their reviews, and the data is clear: properties rated 4.9 or higher earn 15% more revenue than those rated 4.7 or 4.8.Whether you manage 5 listings or 500, this episode gives you a complete breakdown of how to scale without sacrificing guest experience, how to maintain hotel-plus standards across large portfolios, and why the operators who win in 2026 will be the ones who optimize for connection instead of just efficiency. Eric shares real examples from Freewyld, their RPM clients managing hundreds of properties at 4.97, and the systems that make unreasonable hospitality scalable.You will discover:Why properties rated 4.9 or above earn 15% more revenue on averageWhat Brian Chesky announced at the Airbnb Host Summit about professional operatorsThe four core attributes behind every 4.9-star portfolioHow to create proactive communication strategies that build trust before problems ariseWhy "better than photos" accuracy drives five-star reviewsHow to implement hotel-plus cleanliness standards with sensory experiencesWhy the first 60 seconds after check-in determine guest perceptionHow to solve problems within the "golden hour" before reviews sufferWhy using cheap products limits your ability to charge premium ratesHow one client manages $20M in bookings across massive properties at 4.97Why maintenance breakdowns happen when teams stop reporting issues immediatelyHow to personalize stays even when managing 100+ properties at scaleKaye and Eric also explore why efficiency at scale often kills brand soul, how Beth from Northridge Escapes earned over 1,000 five-star reviews by managing communication herself, and why delegating pricing frees up CEO time to focus on guest experience. They break down the five-minute response rule, how to anticipate guest requests before they're asked, and why investing in quality linens, beds, and amenities directly impacts ADR and repeat bookings.💡 Topics Covered:Airbnb 4.9 rating standard and platform changesThe four core attributes of 4.9-star portfoliosUnreasonable hospitality at scaleProactive communication vs reactive customer serviceHotel-plus cleanliness and sensory designMaintenance systems and quality controlPersonalization strategies for large portfoliosCheap products vs premium guest experiencesProblem-solving speed and guest retentionCEO time allocation and delegation strategies🔗 Relevant Links: Learn more about Freewyld Foundry → https://www.freewyldfoundry.com Follow Kaye Putnam → https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayeputnam Follow Eric Moeller → https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericmoeller Follow Freewyld Foundry → https://www.linkedin.com/company/freewyldfoundryKeywords: airbnb, 4.9 star ratings, five star reviews, guest experience, hospitality, short term rentals, unreasonable hospitality, STR operations, revenue management, property management, scaling STR portfolios, communication strategy, cleaning standards, maintenance systems, hotel quality standards, vacation rentals, Airbnb host summit, Brian Chesky, professional hosting, STR profitability, Freewyld, Freewyld Foundry, Kaye Putnam, Eric Moeller, rating optimization, guest satisfaction, portfolio performance, quality standards Hosted on Acast.

    • Why Your Pricing Tool Isn't Working (And the 5 Fixes)

      Why Your Pricing Tool Isn't Working (And the 5 Fixes)
      Jan 19 2026

      You're probably making at least one of these mistakes right now.


      After analyzing hundreds of pricing accounts and managing $120M+ in STR bookings across 50+ portfolios worldwide, Jasper Ribbers has seen the same revenue management mistakes show up over and over again. And in today's market, where year-over-year growth has stalled and the start of 2025 has been slow—these mistakes are costing operators real money.


      In this RevUp Monday episode, Jasper breaks down the five most common pricing mistakes he finds when doing free revenue reports for operators. Some of these are simple fixes you can make today. Others require a complete mindset shift about how you approach your booking window.


      You will hear:

      • Why setting a maximum price in your pricing tool could be limiting your peak season revenue

      • How unbookable nights silently drain your calendar (and the toggle that exposes them)

      • Why a single minimum price across the year leaves money on the table during peak demand

      • The counterintuitive truth about minimum night stay settings—and why "more restrictive further out" rarely works

      • How one client increased RevPAR by 35% just by fixing their booking window pacing


      We also talk about:

      • World Cup pricing insights: $1,800/night bookings already coming in for 3-bedroom units

      • Why Pricelabs raises prices aggressively on peak dates (and when that's actually right)

      • The difference between occupancy optimization and true revenue optimization

      • How to use seasonal profiles for minimum price adjustments

      • Why founders who do revenue management "on the side" always miss the early booking window


      🎯 Mentioned in the Episode:

      • PriceLabs: https://pricelabs.co

      • Freewyld Foundry Revenue Report: https://freewyldfoundry.com/report

      • VRMA Conference presentation on pacing


      🔥 Favorite Takeaway: "It's not just about how much occupancy do you achieve. It's like, when are those bookings coming in? Because if they're all coming in last minute, you're going to have a really low ADR."

    • The One-Goal Method: How to Win 2026 by Doing Less

      Jan 16 2026
      👉 Get a Free Revenue Review → https://www.freewyldfoundry.com/report Find out how much money your portfolio is leaving on the table. Risk-free.What happens when you realize that 80% of people quit their goals just 10 days into the new year, and how do you ensure your business doesn't become part of that statistic?In this episode of Get Paid For Your Pad, Eric Moeller, CEO of Freewyld and Freewyld Foundry, takes the mic for his first solo podcast to dive deep into a practice he has been fine-tuning for over a decade: the art of single focus goals. Eric reveals the psychological and operational shifts required to win your year by doing less, but doing it better. He unpacks why traditional goal setting often leads to burnout and missed targets, and shares the exact framework he uses to maintain momentum without sacrificing personal well-being.Whether you are an STR operator managing a growing team or an entrepreneur looking to scale your portfolio, this episode gives you a clear understanding of why energy is your most valuable resource, how to identify the "one thing" that makes everything else easier, and why accountability must include both a reward and a painful penalty.Eric breaks down the core elements of his 2026 strategy, from the "Fit 40" vision to the importance of data transparency, and explains why STR leaders must narrow their focus if they want to achieve massive growth in a competitive market.You will discover:Why 80% of New Year's resolutions fail by January 10thThe "Single Focus" strategy: why one goal for business and one for personal is the limitHow to conduct an energy audit to prevent goals from competing for your resourcesWhy the "greats" like Michael Jordan and Elon Musk prioritize singular obsession over multitaskingHow to use "The ONE Thing" philosophy to create a domino effect in your businessThe difference between high-stakes goals and "experiences" like learning an instrumentWhy a "Fit 40" identity drives better decisions than a standard fitness targetHow to build a "Pain and Reward" contract to guarantee your own follow-throughWhy transparency in tracking (weigh-ins, photos, and KPIs) is non-negotiableHow the EOS and Scaling Up frameworks provide the structure needed for consistencyEric also explores why business goals must feed each other to be successful, how decision fatigue quietly destroys CEO productivity, and why Eric might be forced to work out in a dress if he misses his targets. He discusses the power of a "Big Ass Calendar" for mapping energy, the role of a personal trainer in professional accountability, and why scaling a revenue management company requires a different focus than property acquisition.💡 Topics Covered:Single focus goal setting and achievementEnergy management and avoiding burnoutThe 4 Elements: Vision, Plan, Transparency, and Accountability"Pain and Reward" psychology and personal contractsBusiness frameworks: EOS, Traction, and Scaling UpProductivity systems and the Big Ass CalendarCEO focus and identifying business bottlenecksPersonal development and identity-based habits🔗 Relevant Links:Learn more about Freewyld Foundry → https://www.freewyldfoundry.comFollow Eric Moeller → https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericmoellerFollow Freewyld Foundry → https://www.linkedin.com/company/freewyldfoundryKeywords: airbnb, revenue management, short term rentals, goal setting, productivity, business scaling, CEO mindset, EOS system, Traction, Scaling Up, The ONE Thing, energy management, accountability, STR operations, business growth, pricing strategy, professional habits, personal development, Freewyld, Freewyld Foundry, Eric Moeller, focus strategy, success framework Hosted on Acast.
