Fouad spent 20 years in banking and 11 more consulting banks before walking away from corporate life when his wife’s income surpassed his.
What happened next?
A wild ride through the world of short-term rentals, driven by family, strategy, and a long-term vision few operators ever reach.
In this episode, Fouad breaks down:
• How a personal medical emergency forced him to buy his first Airbnb
• Why most operators price listings wrong—and how he uses math instead
• The real difference between luxury and comfort STRs (and why he runs both)
• His custom tech stack using Go High Level
• And the real reason he’s scaling to $12M/year before exiting
This one’s for the operators who want to scale smart, stay profitable, and build something sellable.
What you’ll learn:
• How to scale with dual verticals (luxury + comfort)
• Why you must reverse-engineer around your exit
• How banking lessons apply directly to STRs
• Why pricing = math, not emotion
• How Fouad thinks about purpose and legacy
