Slick Talk: The Hospitality Podcast

As you see above in the title of this episode, Michael Tingsager from Hospitality Mavericks Podcast and myself dive in on his incredible journey in the industry. We talked about his upbringing in the industry and how his career evolved over the years and what jumping into the podcast world did for him and his businesses. Michael & I are both apart of the Hospitality Game Changers Group with Josh Kopel from Full Comp, Adam Knight from Proven Principles Podcast and Shaun De Vries with Open Pantry.

Heather Richer & myself talk about the creation and purpose of ASTRHO (Association For Short Term Rental Homeowners) and the important role this platform and community provides to this segment of hospitality and why it's important for homeowners, as a stakeholder in the industry, to have these tools, resources, courses, and a community. There is so much to cover in this episode, so I highly recommend that if you're a short term rental homeowner, that you sign up and join the platform to learn more. If you're a property manager, get your owners connected so they can be more involved and to understand the roles they play in the short term rental industry.

When I think of the term "setting standards" I think back to the days of Army basic training and school with my platoon sergeant saying those words to me multiple times a day... "we set the standard and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You're in control of what standards you live up to so set your standards higher than what anyone or anything could set for you" Robin & Heather Craigen are setting standards with how they have built and displayed Moving Mountains. In this episode you're gonna hear the most influential words that you could find today. The amount of knowledge and passion Robin has for what he and his team do on a daily basis is just incredible and exactly the reason why he was declared a Destinationaire earlier this year.

We first met through the Rent Responsibly team and I love getting to see their story play out!
