Can I be real with you for a sec?
If you scroll through STR platforms on social media, you'll most-likely notice that they’re flooded with picture-perfect families, extravagant trips, and homes that look like they belong in a magazine. 
While there's nothing wrong with showing the good parts of being a co-host, don't we have an obligation to be really (REALLY!) real with our audiences?
Because the short-term rental business is not for the faint of heart and let’s be real… it’s not for everyone. 
That’s exactly why in this episode I’m giving you the deets on what I personally wish I knew before getting knees deep into the business.

It all started because I shared my vision...
A major brand component that helps you get to where you want to go. And in my case, led to relationships that connected me with my new partners for Cabins on the Cumberland.
If you have a big vision (like us), finding partnerships can allow you to do things you probably wouldn't do otherwise.
As for us, by leveraging each other's strengths and resources, we're truly able to enhance the guest experience, expand our offers, and increase revenue.

Before you jump into (re)designing your property, you'll want to listen to this episode...
If you didn't already know this about me, my career started in the fashion industry. Curating pieces and just knowing what works well (and what doesn't) is something that actually comes pretty naturally to me.
I mean, let's get real - design is fun, and it has a pretty good R.O.I
So, I totally understand the eagerness of wanting to get into designing your rental... but you've got to get clear on the foundations FIRST.
