  • Incredible podcast for all things STR & more!

    I've been listening to this podcast for years.  Shawn is incredibly knowledgeable in the short term rental industry.  He's honest, forth coming and tells it like it is.  I especially like the guests and STR owners he has on once a week.  It's very knowledgeable in all different aspects of the real estate world and not just in the STR world.  The conversations feel honest and relatable rather than overly complicated or sales-focused.

    There’s always something useful to take away, whether you’re a ... more

Lastly, I would love if each of the interviews included the purchase pri... more

  • The Real Deal

    When I first became interested in short term rentals I found this podcast. I became an avid listener, often going back and listening to episodes several times. Eventually we took the next step and signed up for one of the free webinars to get some more information. Shawn took the time to answer every single question in thoughtful detail and had us not only comfortable, but super excited to join the Vodyssey community. We have now been members for over a year and can say with certainty that these... more
