The Invited Guest by Private Porch
A podcast for and by people in the short-term rental industry. We just started “The Invited Guest” where we're interviewing people in the STR industry to get feedback on 1) how they are doing right now 2) tips on how to survive and 3) asking the question about what the ideal OTA will look like. I’ve got a bunch of fantastic people lined up to join me for these quick 30 minute episodes.
