Luke shared how he went from running an SEO agency to firing almost all of his clients and building his own digital assets instead. We got into how he picks the right local niches, why boring services like towing, tree service, carpet cleaning, and concrete can work so well, and what makes a website easier to rank. Luke also broke down how he finds buyers for the leads, why he prefers flat monthly fees but has recently grown a lot through revenue share, and how he now uses his SEO skills to buy and grow real businesses.

Kyle shared how he found the property off-market, put everything on the line to buy it, then used a single $500 Instagram reel to generate around $80,000 in bookings before opening. We also talked about why he focuses on large-group, experience-driven stays instead of generic rentals, how he finds overlooked barns and warehouses, and how his newest Wild Wild Warehouse launch became his biggest one yet. Finally, Kyle broke down how someone with less money can still get into the space through Airbnb co-hosting.You can find Kyle here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylemiklasz/Big Sky Barnhouse: https://bigskybarnhouse.com/Big Sky Barnhouse Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigskybarnhouse/Wild Wild Warehouse Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildwildwarehouse/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylemiklasz/Enjoy!---Watch this on YouTube instead here: tkopod.co/p-ytAsk me a question on or off the show here: http://tkopod.co/p-askLearn more about me: http://tkopod.co/p-cjkLearn about my company: http://tkopod.co/p-cofFollow me on Twitter here: http://tkopod.co/p-xFree weekly business ideas newsletter: http://tkopod.co/p-nlShare this podcast: http://tkopod.co/p-allScrape small business data: http://tkopod.co/p-os---
