How did it feel when you gave up the sort of corporate job and can you talk us through the steps that led you to. I guess why short term rental out of all the choices and lots of places to invest but why short term rental?
Boy I can get long winded here if I wanted to. It was amazing and it was scary as hell leaving corporate. I had built a 21 year career. I was on a pretty good path and I knew that I would continue to climb in my journey but you know regardless of how well you did and how well you performed your cap was was limited and measured by somebody else and that, that just didn't feel right for me. I knew I was made for more. I knew I could do more if I controlled my own destiny. And so I trusted myself and I and I also trusted if I failed miserably in entrepreneurship that I'd be able to go back to corporate any.
