This week Mike welcomes Shawn Moore to #mikedup for an inspirational and informative conversation about the risks and rewards of real estate investing and the explosion of vacation rental properties. Shawn is an active real estate investor, the host of the Vacation Rental Revolution podcast, and the founder of Vodyssey.com, the #1 Vacation Rental Investing Education company in the world! Shawn has one goal in mind: to cut through all the noise and help you find success in acquiring, managing, and marketing a profitable vacation rental portfolio. Shawn has helped thousands of new and experienced investors alike navigate the complicated world of vacation rental investing. Shawn shares how his early success in real estate vaulted him into a jet setting lifestyle managing the real estate decisions for a multi-million dollar resort in Park City Utah. Unfortunately for Shawn his early success was not to last after the resort he was managing came up on securities charges. He was left penniless and forced to examine what he truly valued in life and how to move forward. Thanks to the support of his wife Teresa and his natural entrepreneurial grit, Shawn dug his way back and created Vodyssey.com. Shawn believes that by prioritizing experiences in nature over material wealth, entrepreneurs can stay grounded and focused on what truly matters in life –  more time with their loved ones. He stresses the importance of always striving to push past our limits to achieve great things!   Connect with Shawn: Website: https://vodyssey.com/ Podcast: https://vodyssey.com/podcast/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RealShawnMoore Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-moore-393454173/   Connect with Mike: https://linktr.ee/mikedicioccio   Produced by Social Chameleon: https://www.socialchameleon.us   Interview Recorded via Riverside.fm: https://riverside.fm/homepage?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=mike-dicioccio   Mike’D Up!
