  <title>HYH-52  “The Airbnb Way”  with author Joseph Michelli</title>
  <description>What company comes to an author’s mind after writing bestsellers about Starbucks, Zappos, Mercedes and Ritz-Carlton?&amp;amp;nbsp; Airbnb! Joseph Michelli became highly interested in the company and authored a book &amp;quot;The Airbnb Way&amp;quot;.&amp;amp;nbsp; Joseph identifies the ways in which Airbnb engages with customers and builds brand loyalty.&amp;amp;nbsp; He includes both the view from inside the company and the view from the individual hosts who provide hospitality to millions of travelers each year. “The Airbnb Way” is a unique publication that is overdue - few businesses have been as disruptive as Airbnb and much of their positive impact has been under-reported. Debi Hertert met Joseph virtually in 2018 as Joseph began work on his book.&amp;amp;nbsp; She introduced him to many highly experienced Airbnb hosts, some of whom are included in “The Airbnb Way”.&amp;amp;nbsp; Joseph reciprocated a year later, when the book was finished, by coming to Portland as the featured speaker at the Host2Host event “HostFest 2019”. In addition to being an author, Joseph is a TEDx speaker.&amp;amp;nbsp; A hundred hosts got to enjoy his presentation, and you can get a sense of his thoughtful voice in this podcast interview that took place the day before the event.&amp;amp;nbsp; Host2Host is a non-profit trade association based in Portland, Oregon.&amp;amp;nbsp; It serves the short-term rental hosting community with a goal of speaking with one voice for the community of hosts. Several hosts who are mentioned in the book also appear in HostingYourHome podcasts.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp;One of these is April Brenneman&amp;amp;nbsp; who is featured in one of the very first episodes of the HostingYourHome podcast, &amp;quot;Josh's House in the Trees&amp;quot; You can check out the links below, including one for a trip giveaway to San Francisco that is good through December 16, 2019 Joseph’s business website:&amp;amp;nbsp; www.josephmichelli.com Book contest through December 16, 2019:&amp;amp;nbsp; This is a trip giveaway to San Francisco, no purchase necessary, at https://www.airbnbway.com Host2Host &amp;quot;The Voice of the Host&amp;quot; short-term rental website:&amp;amp;nbsp; Host2Host.org &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
