Okay, so welcome to the Behind the Host podcast on the Boosley podcast. I'm Liam Carolyn and today

we are joined by a host. He's based up in Glen Falls. His name is Joshua Kipless and today we are

interviewing him about his short-term rental and how he got started in short-term rentals and the

lessons he's learned across the way. So today, listen in for the next 20 or 30 minutes where you can

pick up tips from other hosts, things that you can implement in your business to help you. So
