EP 39: Interview w/ Josiah Smelser - Olive Garden Waiter to $50K/yr cashflow to $600k/yr vacation rental business

Tavis and Ashton sit down with Josiah Smelser. Josiah is an author, podcast host, real estate broker, appraiser and entrepreneur. He currently lives in Alabama with his wife and two kids but makes his way to Tennessee often to grow his short term rental business and help clients do so as well. Josiah talks about his journey that involved starting at Olive Garden to working at a non profit and eventually finding his way to owning over 20 rentals in Fort Worth. After that he shifted and grew his short term business in Tennessee to what it is today where his company brings in over $600k a year in profit. 

Now Josiah is turning his efforts to bigger things and seeking out people that have dreamed big and accomplished amazing things. He hopes to document that and a life of giving and adventure on his new YouTube Channel and podcast. 

Josiah has a ton of great wisdom to share throughout the interview with investors at any part of their journey. We hope you enjoy!
