They came from different worlds - education, healthcare, entrepreneurship but landed in the same place: building businesses rooted in service, creativity, and intention. What started as side hustles quickly turned into something deeper… and harder than expected.In this episode, they share: • Why chasing scale without purpose is the fastest way to burn out • How turning properties into experiences unlocked entirely new revenue streams (events, weddings, retreats) • The real challenges no one talks about and why hosting isn’t as “passive” as it’s sold online • How community became their unfair advantage in a crowded market • The origin of the Global Hospitality Collective and why collaboration beats competition every timeThis isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a reality check.If you’re building, or thinking about building in the short-term rental space, this episode will force you to rethink what actually matters.Hospitality isn’t about properties.It’s about people and the operators who understand that will always win.
