Kate Birtch, Rental Property Insurance: Episode 49
Kate Birtch found her way to insurance after an unfortunate incident with her own short term rental property. Airbnb let her down and Kate began sorting through what kinds of insurance were available to property owners like her. And what she saw was a gap in the market, so Kate started Property Protect. You can reach her through email and follow her travels on Instagram.
Hiring Internationally
We are part of a global economy, and one that is shifting. Does your schedule mean working with someone in another timezone makes more sense?

Is it in a product we can create once and send as a bonus to our loyal clients? What can we do and create that make the experience of working with us an even better choice?
