To be fair, someone as knowledgeable as he, could probably talk uninterrupted for hours if given the chance. Being on TV would probably make it a little harder, but as a public speaker myself, I regularly ad lib presentations in my field of expertise for over an hour or more when a client is looking for additional information on a particular subject. This has occurred in front of an audience of at least 50 for me in the past. I'm sure he could outperform me in the same situation.

It looks like most of the research was focused on guest experiences. Have you looked into problems hosts have encountered? My mother operates an AirBnB where guests were able to book a whole week at the guest home on her property, show up the first day and trash the place, only for her to find out from AirBnB in the morning that the credit card on their account was no good. Meanwhile she was stuck with evicting a dozen or so rowdy guests by herself. She lives (most the time) alone on a large ranch, and she felt stranded to deal with them on her own.

Finger spelling is the single most useful ASL skill you can learn as a beginner. Being able to spell a word out, or read a word from a deaf person when you don't know the sign yet is very important to your progress in the ASL language.

Sorry to hear that, sounds terrible. I hope the hosts leave bad reviews for those types of guests. I’ve had to teach my mom to be more selective on who she’ll host. It’s kind of hard, because you have to judge people you haven’t met based on their AirBnB profile (number of stays, reviews) and their Facebook profile to see if you trust them enough to be on your property.

I read in one of your comments that you can provide medical advice to the callers, particularly in the case of choking and CPR. Would you also be able to give instruction on administering epinephrine from an auto injector if victim had a prescribed injector and the caller was the only one who could help him use it? In a diabetic emergency, are you allowed to advise first responders to put sugar or something sweet in persons mouth? If call is coming from somewhere remote (I work with utility and transmission towers, power houses and the likes are usually off the grid) how can we help relay our location, GPS may show you where we are but not the crazy maze of overgrown fire/access trails we took to get there. Thank you!
