Here's What We're All About

Hi there. I'm Barry, an entrepreneur from Silicon Valley CA and a 5 star superhost for the past 7 years. Thanks for stopping by!

GIVING IS LIVING

In addition to hosting, I'm also an executive coach for high tech leaders, a single father raising two incredible twin boys on my own, and when I'm not busy with family and coaching, I create wellness retreats for people dealing with severe illness or trauma. As you can imagine, my days are pretty busy. But I choose to do things that give me energy rather than deplete me, which allows me to get a lot done. I also believe that giving is living. It's what makes me happy and allows me to keep growing as a person. Now that I've found success in my business, I want to give back and share my hosting secrets with others.

IT WASN'T ALWAYS EASY

My road to success certainly had its share of challenges. When my boys were seven, I was diagnosed with cancer and it was advanced. Can you imagine raising twin boys on your own, no family nearby, multiple surgeries, months of radiation, years of rehab, and medical bills piling up? My vacation rental literally saved me financially. Not only that but it taught me a lesson that some never learn in a lifetime. When you find something that you love doing, and can offer it in the service of others AND make money at it, you will discover unlimited happiness in your life.

FOR ME IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. IT'S ABOUT HELPING OTHERS AND IN THE PROCESS HEALING MYSELF, TOO

Since my recovery, I’ve doubled down on my guests’ creature comforts and small luxuries that bring pleasure - and serenity. People now seek out my property in order to find healing, to escape the pressures of a stressful job, to rediscover their inner voice or simply nurture themselves. My job is to make sure every guest leaves feeling more relaxed, energized, and open to the possibility of becoming whole again. I see it as more than just hosting. For me, it's a calling. And being given the opportunity to share what I've learned through many years of hosting allows me to give back, help others grow financially, and continue to heal myself, too.
