Description

“2020 is going to be the year of the professional host, regardless if you’re running one unit or if you’re somebody that’s trying to hit a hundred or a thousand units. All of it, the standards need to be world-class at this point. We have to truly treat even one unit as a real business.”

Eric Moeller is the creator of Cohost Mastery and the cofounder STR Legends Live. Today, Eric and I sit down to discuss our top takeaways from STR Legends Cartagena, describing the trend toward professionalism in the industry and the challenges around operations that all hosts share regardless of size.

Eric and I weigh in on how to approach your STR as a business, sharing Simon Lehmann’s challenge to define your values and align your messaging accordingly. Listen in for insight on how big brands are likely to impact the future of the STR industry and learn how YOU can benefit from the culture of sharing among the STR Legends community!
