From the big players to Matt Landaus "Limited Edition" series and theme on his podcast, I hope you can get yourself included in this conversation and hopefully it is something you're passionate about as well!Mentioned in this weeks episode:

Are We Setting The Highest Standards For Guest Experience?
Last weeks episode got a lot of positive feedback on the format and structure. Now, we're doing it again. I hope you listened to the whole show for the bonus right at the end of the podcast. You don't want to miss this!Mentioned in this episode & key takeaways:Robin Craigen - CoFounder of Moving Mountains:
If the guests let us do more, we can show them exactly what we're capable of.
Great hospitality is to always be listening - from the top down, this is the most important role we can play and apply
Your team needs to be the heart and soul of your business - no exceptions.
Creating great experiences doesn't come easy or happen overnight - it takes a lot of work to make what we all do happen. Acknowledge that and be okay with the hard work!
Sarah & Annette - Thanks For Visiting Podcast:
Trust but verify
Build the systems
Let your "why" be the north star that moves the needle in your business - and be okay with having to remind yourself of your "why"

Kyle Stanley, The Fearless Investor
When it comes to real estate and flipping houses, I am no expert. I actually have no desire to really learn all of that if I am being honest. Today's guest is a different story though because that's where it all got started for him and his short term rental journey. Kyle Stanley joins me to talk about what he had to learn and go through in order to take his STR business serious and grow it to almost 70 properties in such a short period of time.Thank you to Hostfully, Jetstream, and Safely for coming together to sponsor this episode and bring it to the airwaves!——–Thank you for tuning into our podcast!
