HoldCo Bros are back! @NikonomicsPodcast and I sat down with Isaac French, who built Live Oak Lake, a unique micro-destination. In this episode, we discuss how Isaac turned $20k into a $2.3 million investment into a $7 million exit.

We also discuss why storytelling is crucial for any business, and how he generated $40,000 in bookings with a $900 social media budget. We also cover the challenges he faced, like being banned from Airbnb, and how he overcame them to create something truly special.

If you want to learn about short term rentals for beginners, you’ve come to the right place!
