EP 208: How to Train Your Team to Think Like You (and Trust Their Gut) with Punith Upadhya

Let's be honest—building a co-hosting business sounds easier than it is. You think: I've got systems, I've got listings…now where are the bookings? Or worse—you get the bookings and then spend your nights cleaning up after guests who clearly missed the "no parties" line in your house rules. In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Punith Upadhya, who went from managing two properties to twelve in under six months—and not by working more, but by becoming the version of himself who could lead at that level. We're talking about: What it really takes to grow a co-hosting business from the ground up The wild guest story that forced Punith to overhaul his entire vetting system How to train your team to follow their gut (yes, really) Why your business growth will never outpace your self-image Tactical mindset habits that actually move the needle—without the fluff Whether you're deep in the weeds of short-term rental ops or dreaming about scaling without working 60-hour weeks, this convo is full of the perspective shift you didn't know you needed.
