In this episode, Alex and Annie sit down with Jason Gann, a well-established figure in vacation rentals who has carved out a unique path as both a sales executive and an emerging comedic talent. Jason takes us through his fascinating career journey - from selling hair-cutting shears to stepping into the world of vacation rental technology, navigating the fast-changing landscape of property management software, and now leading conversations around revenue management at Beyond Pricing.
