We are “live” from the VRMA Spring Forum conference in Chicago where we sit down in person with Brandreth Canaley, the COO of Sextant Stays, and recently on Forbes 30 under 30.

Starting from her beginnings we discuss stumbling into the short-term rental industry as well as digging into how they scaled from 60 units before COVID to 500+ now.

Brandy breaks down Sextant’s model to aggressively scale all while staying profitable. In addition, we dig into the importance of having a blend of different properties types and locations to sustain revenue in case there’s a drop in travel or other unforeseen circumstances.

We also talk about the feelings behind being named to Forbes 30 Under 30 and nod to the amazing women leaders that have been leading the way in our space for as far back as we can see.
