Secret Sauce: Airbnb

I’ve been working on a new writing adventure in 2021, and I’m so excited that I can finally share it! My good friend Marina and I were hired to write for a new show on Wondery called Secret Sauce. It’s hosted by two young entrepreneurs, and tries to look at successful businesses and figure out the keys to their good fortune.

Let’s just say that I’m not exactly….a savvy businessperson. The cutthroat startup world is definitely interesting, but not something I have any first hand knowledge of. As a writer, I don’t have a ton of experience even working “normal” jobs. So crafting a narrative around a behemoth like Airbnb was really outside of my comfort zone. And you know, I really enjoyed it! It was so interesting to find that almost all the same things that apply to fictional stories still applied. Plus, I always love working in the audio space, which adds another layer of fun challenge to the project. Here’s my first episode, and I think it came out great!
