Description

On this episode of What Are You Made Of? with Mike “C-Roc”, powerhouse duo Annette Grant and Sarah Karakaian share the inspiring story of how two complete strangers became business partners, industry leaders, and champions for short-term rental hosts everywhere.


Their journey began at a heated city council meeting in Columbus, Ohio, where they fought for fair regulations and discovered not only a shared vision but also an unstoppable partnership built on Annette’s big-picture dreaming and Sarah’s relentless tenacity.


Together, they reveal how showing up for what you believe in can change the trajectory of your life and business, why building trust and maintaining human connection is crucial in the short-term rental space, and how their commitment to consistency and content creation—now nearing 500 podcast episodes—has built the foundation for a multimillion-dollar business.


From navigating regulations to creating a thriving community for hosts, investing in new ventures like a 134-acre glamping site, and helping others turn rentals into real businesses, Annette and Sarah prove that when you combine vision with grit, anything is possible.


This conversation is packed with lessons on resilience, entrepreneurship, and the power of partnership—you won’t want to miss it.
