This is a recorded conversation on the Hustle and Flowchart podcast featuring Christine McDannell. Key points: Christine describes selling Eco Chateau (sold Nov; listed-to-LOI in five weeks; escrow ≈3.5 months), noting that was her seventh exit in 14 years. She outlines two current ventures: Lux Car Collective, a luxury/exotic car rental/consignment business built on Turo (started previous April; typical daily rates cited — Audi R8 ~$450/day, BMW i8 ~$500/day; Turo takes ~25%); and Kindred Quarters, a co-living/licensing concept for entrepreneurs (houses with chefs, concierge, masterminds; pricing ~ $3.5k–$4k/month all-in; current houses 4- and 6-bedroom; plan to scale to six houses with specific near-term opening targets). Christine also recounts meeting Richard Branson (initial $1,000 donation years earlier; later presented a framed $100,000 check in Paris) and explains that larger philanthropic goals are a personal North Star influencing strategic choices (she intends to focus on Kindred Quarters to scale toward those goals).
