From house hacking before it was a trend to building luxury resorts in the Dominican Republic and Utah, DeAnna’s story is a masterclass in resilience, vision, and conscious investing.
After a dirt-bike crash forced her to pause, she discovered how to create a business that worked whether she was hustling or healing — and scaled her portfolio into a multimillion-dollar hospitality empire.
💡 You’ll learn:
• How DeAnna turned hardship into clarity and built experiential real-estate wealth • What it takes to run boutique resorts and glamping retreats across multiple countries
• The systems, automation, and team structure that allowed her to scale globally • Lessons from living 18 months in the Dominican Republic to restore her dream resort
• Why she believes “Destruction and creation are the same thing—just at different points in the timeline.”
• How investors can enjoy passive income and exclusive lifestyle perks at Collective Destinations If you’ve ever dreamed of blending purpose, profit, and travel, this conversation will open your mind to what’s truly possible when you invest with intention.
