What would it take to build a smarter, more human alternative to Airbnb?
Eric Goldreyer, a serial entrepreneur and the founder of BedandBreakfast.com, returns to the short-term rental space with Savvy —a new platform designed to prioritize guests, hosts, and local communities alike. In this episode, Eric joins me to break down what’s broken in the current vacation rental industry and how Savvy is aiming to fix it.
From battling VC-backed giants to designing a more trustworthy system with no hidden fees, Eric shares the story behind Savvy’s rapid growth—and why he believes the future of travel depends on bringing humanity back to hospitality.
