In this episode of Raspberry Lemonade, Levi sits down with Jacinda Neustel—widely known as the “Airbnb Queen”—who stumbled into the world of real estate with nothing but a need to pay rent and a leap of faith. Jacinda shares her unique journey, beginning with her initial reluctance to invite strangers into her home, to building an Airbnb empire with over 40 listings.
Listen as Jacinda dives into her early fears, the shock of quitting her 9-to-5, and the surprising highs and lows of running a business born out of necessity.
With candid humor and insights, she sheds light on the personal toll of being “on-call” 24/7, the struggle for work-life balance, and why she’s determined to live on her own terms—no bosses, no permissions needed.

This is an episode packed with relatable struggles, unexpected twists, and hard-won life lessons that every aspiring entrepreneur will want to hear!
