Rob Abasolo is called the "King of Short Term Rentals" and he has used AirBnB to quit his job, make waaaay more money than before, and do the stuff he loves (like building tiny houses, renovating motels, and giving people epic experiences).  But it wasn't always that way - in fact, his very first short term rental project that was supposed to take 3 months took 13!   It's no secret that I am a massive fan of real estate and short term rentals specifically, and so not only do Rob and I geek out on short term rentals on the podcast, but... ...we are also running a totally free 2 d ..read more

This is a hard one as change is oftentimes difficult. We are saying goodbye to one-half of the founding team at Location Indie and that is never easy. We are very excited about the new journey that he is going on and we get to watch him succeed in all the new ways that we know he will.  While we will miss our friend on the business end of things, he is still our friend and that will never change so family vacations, podcast guesting, and late-night phone calls will still be happening. Don't worry though because the LI podcast, community, and Lifestyle Launch Academy is still going strong ..read more
