In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Hannah Pobar, the CEO and founder of Home Studio List – the go-to platform for renting real homes by the hour for photo shoots and film productions. It's where I often book my client branding shoots!

We had a blast discussing how Hannah went from 1 home to over 3,000 homes across the US and Canada – and get this, no investors or external funding involved!

We even played a fun game where I asked her how she'd invest in her business, ranging from $100 to $1 million, and let's just say her answers were pretty surprising and SO insightful!

We also explored the idea of renting out your own place for some extra income and why personal branding is key, even if you're not the face of your business.

Get ready to be seriously inspired by our conversation and walk away with some game-changing takeaways!
