About this listen

In this episode of The Co-Host Bros Podcast, Matt Codd and Austin Spitzenberger sit down with Sam Amir, a short-term rental operator who built his hospitality business through consistency, patience, and learning from early mistakes.

Sam shares how he first entered the STR world, what those early days really looked like, and how COVID ended up shifting his mindset, strategy, and long-term vision. Instead of chasing hype or overnight success, Sam focused on building a business with strong systems, sustainable workflows, and a guest-centered approach.

Throughout the episode, Sam opens up about:

  • How he got started and what he wishes he knew sooner
  • Balancing a full-time job while running STRs
  • What COVID taught him about adaptability in business
  • How he built systems that actually keep operations running smoothly
  • His philosophy on scaling slow vs. scaling fast
  • The importance of communication and expectation-setting with guests
  • The mindset shift that helped his business grow sustainably

This conversation is full of grounded, real-world STR lessons from someone who built their business step-by-step — not overnight.
