This new episode of Live Let Thrive is a powerful blend of real talk, real estate strategy, and the personal journey behind it all. Myka and Steve are back together, catching up after time apart, and diving deep into what it really means to find your passion. They open up about how real estate became more than just a business — how it turned into a creative outlet, a source of purpose, and a path to helping others.

Steve shares his latest project: launching a PadSplit house in Arlington, Texas. He walks through what worked, what went wrong, and why this model might be the next big move for investors burned out on Airbnb. From tenant management and common area setups to handling maintenance and vetting guests, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at this evolving strategy.

The conversation also touches on the realities of short- and mid-term rentals, frustrations with platforms like Airbnb, and how hosts can protect their peace while still scaling their income. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance business with fulfillment — or what’s next after Airbnb — this episode brings clarity, laughs, and insight.

Recorded from Fort Worth and Arlington, Texas, this is one of the most honest and insightful episodes yet — a must-listen for anyone thinking about rentals, side hustles, or just trying to figure out what really makes life worth showing up for every day.

In this episode, Steve dive deep into the real-world challenges and wins of rental arbitrage — from setting up properties the right way, managing client expectations, and dealing with utility bills that can make or break your profits. Hear firsthand about the importance of investing in quality furniture (without breaking the bank), staying budget-smart, and building the right team — including cleaner and maintenance “unicorns” that keep your operations smooth.

We also get real about life behind the hustle: the mental toll, sleep struggles, and asking yourself the big questions — like whether it’s time to quit the day job and build the life you truly want. Whether you're launching your first unit or scaling your empire, this episode gives you honest insights, hard-earned lessons, and the heart behind what it takes to succeed in the short-term rental game.

If you're chasing freedom, fulfillment, and smart passive income, this one's for you. Learn from the real talk, the strategy, and the spirit that fuels it all. Live... Let... Thrive!

Live Let Thrive

Live Let Thrive is a podcast about Airbnb and the share economy in general. Your hosts Steve and Myka tell you about their experiences both hosting and guesting on Airbnb, VRBO, and other short term rental platforms.

Steve

Hi y’all! My name is Steve and I’m fairly new to real estate. I’m also an artist, musician, writer and long time airline employee. I became a landlord in November of 2016 when I decided to rent out my first house and move into another one, “house-hack,” if you will. I also recently discovered the wonderful world of Podcasts and became hooked on many real estate and entertainment Podcasts, especially Bigger Pockets. As a member of Bigger Pockets, I met Myka at a meetup and his stories about being an Airbnb host blew my mind! I’ve guested at Airbnb’s all over the world and have always wanted to be a host myself. Myka and I both shared a love for Airbnb and Podcasts and decided, “why not make our own Podcast?!” And that’s how “Live Let Thrive” was born. So I’ve added Podcast host to my resume and hopefully soon, Airbnb host!
