July 21, 2025 70 - Guest Nightmares & Bad Calls: Co-Host Bros Woes Begins
In this bonus episode of The Co-Host Bros Podcast, Matt flies solo — no Austin, just vibes — and launches a brand new series: Co-Host Bros Woes. The concept? Real stories from real hosts about the disasters, headaches, and lessons that come from the darker side of short-term rentals.
This week’s guest is Justin Powell from Seabrook Vacation Management, and he’s bringing a doozy of a story involving guests, mistakes, and STR chaos.
