The Short-Term Rental industry has a control problem. For too long, operators have been at the mercy of the "OTA Overlords"—paying high commissions for the privilege of being ghosted by their own guest data. If you’re tired of masked emails, temporary VoIP numbers, and the dreaded "Frankenstack" of disconnected apps, you’ve found your tribe.

The STR Sovereignty Podcast is a series of frank, unfiltered conversations for the modern hospitality professional. Join Yada co-founders Petar Ojdrovic and Steve Haase as they kick off the series and discuss how to reclaim your margins and build a brand that you own.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

• Data Independence: How to bypass OTA masking and capture real guest data legally and effectively.
• The Unified Engine: Killing the "Frankenstack" in favor of seamless AI, marketing, and operations.
• True Guest Loyalty: Turning one-time stays into lifelong direct bookings through automated rewards.
• The Future of Hospitality Tech: From AI-driven guest experiences to the "fun and frank" reality of building a tech-forward brand.

Stop being a tenant on someone else’s platform. It’s time to claim your sovereignty.
