Transparent and Helpful

I love listening to Bill as he has a “no nonsense” take on STRs which is refreshing. He adds value in everything he does.
Luxury Rental Podcast

Unfilter the noise

The Unfiltered podcast is exactly what I need—raw, honest, and packed with real-world insights. Do you ever zone out when listening to a podcast drone on and on about nothing? Well, I find Bill’s transparency incredibly valuable. Unfiltered delivers actionable advice, marketing tactics, leadership lessons and reminds you it really is about hospitality in every episode. Highly recommend giving it a listen—you’ll walk away smarter and more fired up every time.

Great STR Podcast

This podcast provides exceptional content without a lot of the excess junk. I look forward to the release of every new episode. I believe that listening to this podcast has really elevated my STR business.
Isaac G. Leon-acuna

Love duration and directness. Sound fluctuates.

I love the summary and quick pegarla dropped throughout. Lately, the sound has not been as good which is sad. It is frustrating to hear the voice fading away and coming back over and over. I am not sure whether it is Bill moving back and forth off the mic, or it is the mic's quality itself that is not good, or maybe signal issues, who knows... I really hope we can get some good quality sound back on board. Sorry for the 4-star review but I really had to comment on this, and highlight it. Thank you!
