Jenn is a passionate advocate for empowering hosts and property managers to take back control from the OTAs - and she did it herself with an incredible 80% direct booking rate. We go deep into why direct booking is no longer an annual one-day event but a year-round strategy every host needs to embrace. From her humble beginnings managing a rental in the French Alps to launching one of the industry's most impactful virtual summits, Jenn shares her journey and the practical tactics that helped her (and now others) succeed. 📣 Midroll Sponsor: STRAIT Chat &amp;amp; the AI Ambassador Program This episode is brought to you in part by the&amp;nbsp;STRAIT Chat Community&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;an exclusive space for short-term rental pros who want deeper conversations, smarter systems, and more collaborative learning.
