What lessons can we learn about hospitality from an examplar of servant leadership? Brian Slipka is the CEO and Founder of True North Equity Partners and together with our host Mark McDaniel, they are drawing parallels between their respective industries and offering the rest of us insight into how to go about doing good business. 

Through his company True North Equity Partners, Brian oversees 29 businesses, ranging from manufacturing and distribution to packaging and transportation (there's even a sports division!) and so he's uniquely positioned to provide a macro view of the economy and the trends he sees emerging in these challenging economic times.

Learn about why the winners will be those who are still in the arena, what 'flight to quality' means, and why you should choose smart money over cheap money in an episode of The Good Endeavor Short-Term Rental Show that will have you thinking out the box about your short-term rental business. 

It helps that Brian and Mark are old friends so the conversation flows freely as they riff on the paradox of feeling better selfishly when you help other people selflessly, and how keeping the end in mind is always so very important. 

There are lessons to be learned aplenty for eager real estate entrepreneurs! Please join us.
