What It's About
The origin story of a Airbnb rental management empire operated while living abroad.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1948
Today’s episode is part of a new feature we’re doing in 2022 called ‘Your First $1,000.’ As you might surmise from the title, this is all about how someone made their first $1,000. How did they get to that point? Not their first $100,000—that’s cool, but it would probably be a long story. One thing I’ve learned is that once you begin to earn real money, the steps required to go to the next level—whether it’s $1,000 to $2,000, or even to $5,000 or $10,000 are often easier than that first real paycheck. With that in mind, today’s feature comes from Josh Strawczynski. We first featured his remote Airbnb rental empire back on Episode #1506, where he learned to operate a series of Airbnbs in Australia while he was living in the Caribbean. But what about his first $1,000—how did he make that happen? It just so happens he’s got a story for us! Let’s hear it from him. Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
