About this Episode
It’s Money-Making May—and today’s guest proves that revenue management doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
We’re joined by Wendy Doris, founder of Mostess and a powerhouse co-host based in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona. Wendy manages a portfolio of 17 highly curated homes and has become a sought-after voice in the STR world for her detailed, data-driven approach to pricing and guest experience.
