I listen to Marks podcast for a while, it changed the way we market our vacation rentals and opened a new stream of income to our portfolio 🙏🏻.

Shugi212 · Oct 2022

I’ve learned more from Boostly in a few weeks than I have in over 8 years of successfully running my own STRs! Trying to wean ourselves off the big OTRs, and Boostly has crazy easy to implement ideas to make that happen!

drmcc15 · Oct 2022

Just listened to your podcast. Absolutely LOVED It! It’s also never boring. I love the hosts. The subjects are always interesting and the atmosphere is lively.

Lee Virgil · Aug 2022

Very informative and entertaining. I think the host has done quite a bit of research and planning on this podcast . on so many different topics, and his guests are always interesting. Love it and highly recommend !

Darin Tyler · Aug 2022

In Apple podcast. Please, add links (I.e., website, social media, resources, etc.) specifically related to the guest who was on for a given episode. There are only the same repetitive links regarding Boostly which can come across as selfish marketing to some degree since the guest is not advertised in the same way through links. Just my personal opinion. Otherwise, good show, good content. Better if it stays short in duration, with direct actionable points, and good informative advice. Keep it up. Thanks.
