VRS610 - The Quiet Power of Leadership: Steve Schwab on Earning Loyalty and Driving Change

In this landmark episode of the Vacation Rental Success Podcast, Heather Bayer is joined by Steve Schwab, the Founder and CEO of Casago, at a truly pivotal moment - not just in his personal journey, but in the history of the vacation rental industry. As Casago steps into a groundbreaking merger with Vacasa, Steve reflects on the path that led him here and the deeply held leadership values that have shaped the company's evolution. From climbing rooftops in Rocky Point, Mexico, to becoming the driving force behind a national franchise brand, Steve's story is anything but typical. In this conversation, he opens up about the early moments that launched his career, the foundation of the ORANGE Credo that anchors Casago's culture, and what it means to scale a values-based business without losing its soul - especially in the wake of one of the industry's biggest mergers to date. If you're thinking about growth, culture, or the future of professional property management, this episode delivers both heart and strategy in equal measure.
