Don't forget to subscribe 🎤

In this special episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Catherine Ratcliffe, the visionary host and founder of Canstays. Her story is one of courage, innovation, and the deep-rooted desire to create a platform that brings the Canadian STR community together. Moving from Ottawa to Florida and embarking on her own STR adventure, Catherine identified a critical gap in the Canadian market—a need for a conference that not only caters to Canadian operators but also celebrates the uniqueness of our industry. Canstays is her answer to that need. This conversation is an open invitation for you to learn directly from Catherine about the ethos of Canstays and the invaluable insights it promises to offer.
