This week we are joined by a man who needs no introduction, but here's one just in case. Mikey Taylor is a retired pro skateboarder turned Co-President of Commune Capital located in California. After spending 20 years gaining sponsorships and brand deals, Mikey turned that entrepreneurial savvy into a sustainable future by buying Saint Archer Brewing Company with a couple partners. After it's sale in 2015, he used that money to start Commune, which invests in self storage facilities (with a combination of reuse and new construction) as well as multifamily. Mikey has an eye for branding, a clear understanding of what new generations want in terms of housing, and truly unique approaches to getting investors on board all of which make him a black belt in the very competitive California real estate market.

If you can tell by the title, I have a lot in common with this week's guest. Jeff is a truly unique guest, he is the CEO and Co-Founder of HostGPO, and self professed recovering attorney. Our last guest talked about finding your niche, and this week's guest is about as niche as one can get. Jeff Iloulian got his start with apartment arbitration, specifically with short term rentals. He expanded this to over 150 units nationwide and spotted a glaring problem: how do you furnish all these things? With no real answer, he created the solution with HostGPO. Your one stop shop for mid to high end commercial grade furnishing for your short term rentals, with the added benefit of buying power that brings you these items at a discounted rate. Jeff tells us how he got to where he is, and the key lessons that anyone looking to break into the  short term rental game needs to hear.
