I Created What I Couldn’t Find with Kara Hammes

When Kara Hammes couldn’t find the kind of vacation rental experience she was dreaming about, she didn’t wait around — she built it herself.
With a background in corporate life and science (and exactly zero experience in hospitality), Kara launched a new concept in Airbnb rentals — larger, welcoming spaces designed for groups to actually vacation together. 
Oh, and she launched it during COVID. Now she owns and operates Brown County Barn Burner.
In this episode, we talk about trusting your instincts, starting messy, and why sometimes the best businesses are born when you say, “Screw it — I’ll do it myself.”
