We never intended on being Airbnb hosts. Never was part of the plan. In fact, if you had told me that 7 years ago - I wouldn't have believed you.

But here we are, almost five years into being Airbnb Superhosts in THREE different states (North Carolina, Kentucky, and Virginia).

On this episode, I share the story of how that came to be when it was so unexpected, how it's increased our Airbnb bookings, and share some outlandish guest stories that include ghosts and rogue bridesmaids.

If you'd like to check out the Airbnb listings, you can find the Kentucky and Virginia listings here:

**Update: Kassie and I decided not to host the webinar because...life. Much like the rest of our community, we are in the messy middle, figuring it all out. While we do still plan on hosting one in the future, we will not be hosting any during this launch. Thank you for understanding!**

Teaming up under ESC Events, Kassie and Ali are excited to discuss the new offer they developed after their recent ESC Conference, which exceeded their expectations by fostering numerous business connections. In addition to the ESC Retreat, they want to continue supporting their community throughout the year.

Inspired by Ashlyn Carter's newsletter approach, they are launching the ESC Impact Weekly Subscription. This newsletter will provide practical, themed content on operations, community, marketing, and lifestyle, designed to support solopreneurs and small business owners.

The subscription will be available starting from August 7th to August 13th, offering a free month for early subscribers. After the open cart period, the ESC Impact Weekly Subscription will be available for $12 per month, with a 30-day free trial to showcase its practical, actionable content.

They are also hosting two webinars on August 7th and August 12th, titled "8 Steps to ESC the Grind: Actionable Strategies for Female Entrepreneurs" offering a preview of the subscription's benefits.

Kassie and Ali emphasize that the subscription will provide immediate, useful strategies without any fluff!
