0:05.6	Whenever I stay at Airbnb, I love the host so much. They're so accommodating and make sure I have
0:11.9	everything I need for this day. It actually makes me wonder if I could do the same if I ever have a
0:16.8	spare room in the future. If you have a home or a spare room, you have an Airbnb which means you can
0:22.5	list your space and earn income on the side doing it. Like Lucy in Worcestershire, who realized
0:29.0	she could convert her empty barn space into a one bedroom Airbnb. Now the extra income allows her
0:35.7	to focus on family as a new mom. Airbnb even has a new tool that shows you what your place could
0:42.3	be earning, whether you list it on Airbnb for a day, a week or a month. And hosting doesn't need

1:33.4	I got to open up about my entrepreneurship journey. I got to talk more about social media and
1:38.3	business. You're also going to hear my insights on when I feel anxiety and when I feel like an
1:42.9	imposter. So to me, this is a really deep dive into my mindset from the perspective of an interview
