Seven Years of the Bombshell Business Podcast Comes to an End: A Heart-to-Heart with Amy Hinote

Let’s flip the script! In the FINAL episode of the Bombshell Business Podcast, I’m passing the mic to none other than my dear friend, Amy Hinote—founder of VRM Intel and a true powerhouse in the vacation rental industry. Amy wasn’t just the first person to hire me in this field; she’s been by my side since day one, and our friendship has deepened through life's ups and downs, beginning with the challenges of the pandemic. There is no one else I could imagine closing out this chapter with.  We reminisce about the incredible journey of this podcast, from its early days through its growth and evolution over the past seven years. Together, we dive into pivotal moments, the lessons learned, and how personal trials like love, loss, and life’s curveballs have shaped us both. We also reflect on the power of women’s voices in business and how purpose-driven work fuels our paths. If you’ve been part of this ride, this episode is my heartfelt thanks as we look back on where we’ve been—and look ahead to what’s next. And yes, Amy will definitely be part of those future chapters! In this emotional and insightful final episode of the Bombshell Business Podcast, we discuss: The origins of the Bombshell Business Podcast, how it grew out of my passion for empowering women in business, and the milestones we've hit along the way. The shifts in women’s roles in business over the past few years, particularly during the rise of movements like Me Too, and how those changes have influenced the conversations we've had on the podcast. The personal hardships I’ve faced, including the loss of loved ones and major life changes, and how these experiences have shaped my approach to both business and life. Some of the most impactful episodes and what they meant to me personally. (I’ll note that I had not recorded the episode with my daughter at the time of this recording, and it is for sure now my favorite episode!) As we close this chapter, I talk about the future—what’s next for my work, how I plan to continue supporting women in business, and the exciting projects on the horizon. As we wrap up this final episode, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of you who have been part of the Bombshell Business Podcast journey.
