  • The Art of the Pivot | Jessica Anderson, Retreat North Nature Cabins
    Nov 13 2024

    Today we're welcoming a self-proclaimed "grandma millennial" who's revolutionizing the retreat space in northern Michigan. From her first floating house project to her current ambitious ridge-top development, she brings a refreshing perspective on building without outside investors and doing things her own way. As someone who's flipped houses, built unique properties, and learned to trust her design instincts, she's now embarking on her most ambitious project yet - creating an intentional retreat space where groups can disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature.

    For anyone interested in the nitty-gritty of financing creative projects, navigating zoning challenges, or building on difficult terrain, this episode offers candid insights into the reality of developing unique properties. We'll explore everything from the importance of novelty in saturated markets to the courage it takes to build something different, and why sometimes the best business strategy is simply following your own creative vision.

  • The Two Ferry Dream: Building a Boutique Cabin Experience | Norra Hem
    Oct 30 2024

    Today we're welcoming the co-owner of Norra Hem, a stunning cliffside cabin on Hornby Island, one of British Columbia's enchanting Gulf Islands. What started as a six-month renovation project turned into a two-year labor of love, transforming a family property into a luxury short-term rental that celebrates local culture and craftsmanship. Our guest shares her journey of building and launching their first rental property on an island that requires two ferry rides just to reach, and how they've created an intentional, immersive experience that honors both the property's family legacy and the island's unique character.

    Whether you're dreaming of building a high-end cabin rental in a remote location, passionate about supporting local businesses, or searching for ways to create truly memorable experiences for your guests, this episode delivers invaluable insights. We'll explore everything from managing major renovation surprises to curating the perfect arrival experience, and how to maintain authenticity while delivering luxury accommodations. As always, thanks for joining me!
