Tell Your Story

Nov 10, 2020

Welcome to How to Save Your Vacation Rental, a 10-part educational podcast series hosted by vacation rental advocate Dana Lubner that will teach you how to solve your business’ greatest looming threat -- unfair regulation -- from the ground up. 

In this episode, you'll get an absolute masterclass on how to work with the media from Dana's secret weapon: Alex Lawson of Social Security Works.  Dana, Alex and more industry voices also explore how telling your story can go beyond the media and have a direct effect on your relationships with government and community groups.
