Building The Business You've Always Wanted with Brittany Blackman

Brittany Blackman is full of sunshine, Southern hospitality, and a crazy passion for the vacation rental industry. She’s been working in STR for over 10 years now and hasn’t found a day that's boring yet. After her stint as Operations Manager for the majority of that time, she left in September 2020 (yes, during the worldwide pandemic), to fly freely and start her own gig. It's been fun for her swerving around obstacles, climbing mountains, and building something from scratch.  This episode is sponsored by our friends at NoiseAware!
