Summary

Liz and Sarah are trying out a new pitch technique — instead of writing out their latest pitch word for word, they’re prepping it in bullet points to keep the flow more spontaneous. In The Mailroom, Sarah answers a question from a listener who’s wondering if she should have a baby on her own like Sarah did. The short answer? Do it! Then, in Take A Hike, Liz and Sarah talk about Designing Their Summer. Sarah is going to “move into her house” and Liz is planning a summer of “off-white delight.” Together, they’re going to write their novel! This week’s Hollywood Hack was inspired by a recent mixer Liz attended — put your last name on your name tag at networking events. Finally, Sarah recommends the Apple Playlist Gen X Threads by Elizabeth Maxwell.

0:10.5	I'm looking out my window and spring is in the air. It's time to go travel. I've got to say,
0:16.4	if you're looking to grow your vacation rental business, this is the place to be.
0:21.5	Booking.com is one of the most downloaded travel apps in the world, and for good reason.
0:27.1	Since 2010, they've helped over 1.8 billion vacation rental guests find places to stay.
0:34.7	That's billion with a B.
0:37.1	But here's the thing. Most vacation rental hosts don't even
0:40.6	realize they can list their properties on booking.com. And if you're not on the platform, your rental is
0:47.1	basically invisible to millions of booking.com travelers worldwide. After all, they can't book what they can't see, right? But once you start

1:12.5	And it couldn't be easier. You can register your property in as little as 15 minutes,
1:17.4	and nearly half of hosts get their first booking within a week. So if your vacation rental
1:22.8	isn't listed on booking.com, it could be invisible to millions of travelers searching the platform.
1:30.0	Don't miss out on consistent bookings and global reach. Head over to booking.com and start your

1:47.0	Hi and welcome to happier in Hollywood, the podcast about how to be happier, healthier,

1:56.6	chaotic, unpredictable, fundamentally insane world.
