It’s easy to blame the market, the algorithm, or even the guests—but what if the problem is you? In this episode, Randy shares a humbling lesson from his own vacation rental property on the Outer Banks, where slipping standards and unchecked expectations led to a wake-up call.
Randy reflects on how we all sometimes stop doing the little things that lead to big results—whether it’s maintaining a rental, building a real estate business, or staying in shape long after the glory days of college sports.
Key themes:
- Why five-star reviews can set you up for failure
- The danger of resting on past success
- How high expectations demand high effort
Whether you’re a homeowner, entrepreneur, or parent, this episode will challenge you to take the “mirror test” and get back to doing the work that really matters.
