    Brand Over Platform: Tori Bolt’s 600K Instagram Strategy and Direct Booking Blueprint
    May 27 2025
    What if you could ditch expensive booking platforms and turn your brand into a magnetic force that drives real revenue—directly? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Tori Bolt to unpack how she and her husband transformed Airbnb listings into a luxury treehouse empire—without relying on OTAs. Tori shares the pivotal moment that changed everything—and how one bold decision led them to walk away from traditional booking platforms and build a direct-booking model that fuels every reservation they now receive. With zero hospitality background, they leaned into passion, persistence, and purpose to build something unforgettable. We dive deep into the intentional design behind guest experiences that spark connection, the mindset shifts that turned them from beginners into industry leaders, and the radical clarity it took to say no to the wrong customers so they could say yes to the right ones. Tori opens up about the real challenges, the strategic moves that kept 100% of booking fees in-house, and how they built an Instagram following of over 600,000 by focusing on content that converts, not just entertains. This isn’t just another marketing episode—it’s a blueprint for breaking free from conventional business models and building a brand that’s driven by purpose, not just profits. If you're ready to reclaim your bookings, grow with intention, and turn your business into something guests can’t stop talking about—this episode is your launchpad!

If you’ve ever dreamed of growing your Airbnb or vacation rental business your way—aligned with your values and vision for life—this episode is your permission slip to make it happen.

And when we make that mindset shift that we have to be the leader of a business, things tend to actually get executed very differently.” “Find the gratitude, find the joy.
