How do you scale hospitality without losing quality, trust, or operational control?
In this episode, Dan Ryan sits down with Ashley Ching, Founder & CEO of Inhaven, for a deep dive into the hidden limits of scale in hospitality and vacation rentals. They explore why service-based businesses often face diseconomies of scale, what leaders can learn from the rapid rise and fall of business, and how complexity, not competition, is often the true threat to growth. Ashley also shares how Inhaven is redefining standardization, elevating local expertise, and rebuilding trust in vacation rentals through consistent bed, bath, and kitchen experiences.
