About this listen

On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Nathan St. Cyr, a hospitality innovator who’s redefining budget travel through upscale hostels.

He breaks down the operational and financial advantages of hostel investing, how he optimized guest experience for Gen Z travelers, and why U.S. hostel development is a wide-open market opportunity. Nathan also shares insights on zoning, daily guest programming, and his strategy for scaling across markets.
