In today’s episode, Rich sits down in his Scottsdale Speakeasy for an interview with Kara Beckmann – real estate investor & luxury designer based in Arizona. Before she got into real estate investing, Kara went to culinary school and started saving money to open her own bakery. She’s a true creative and had a dream of owning her own wedding cake shop, but after working in the restaurant industry for many years it became very repetitive. Kara had the realization that “maybe she could do to a house what she used to do to a cake” and started flipping houses. Rich and Kara talk about her experience finally quitting her day job, diving straight in without really knowing what she was doing, and what her typical deals & projects are like today. They discuss trending designs for 2023, new developments she’s getting into, her passion for music and recently released songs. Kara also shares a few of her biggest mistakes and advice for someone new wanting to get into their first flip.

In today’s episode, Rich sits down with Marc Hostovksy – Founder & CEO of Minoan, an all-in-one procurement and retail platform for the short-term rental industry. After spending nearly 6 years working at Jet.com and then Walmart (acquired Jet.com in 2016) managing a $400M business, he quickly realized that the best product experiences don't happen on screens or shelves, they happen in real moments of use. Marc believes hosts and hospitality professionals should be seen as marketing partners instead of customers, and he’s passionate about connecting hosts with brands, creating a centralized place to manage everything they need to order, and transforming their properties into a shoppable, revenue driving experience. Rich and Marc discuss the balance of art & science with your STRs, the importance of design as well as operations, and one crucial item you should splurge on for your property. They dive into Marc’s experience raising money for his business and his plan for Minoan moving forward. // Connect with Marc on Instagram: @minoanexperience
