What a week in Destin to wrap up the 2024 conference season at DARM! ✨ This event was the perfect finale to an especially meaningful year for me. 2024 marked the launch of my consulting business Directly Alex, and with that, the opportunity to build an amazing portfolio of clients, step into fractional CMO roles with Host & Home and Boom, and become a Founder in Happy Guest. It’s been a year of bold moves and rewarding challenges — and learning how to balance wearing a lot of hats! I’m often asked at these events, “Which hat are you wearing this week?” The answer? All of them! Whether I’m representing my clients or my own ventures, I love every role I play. And it’s a good excuse for why my suitcases are so big…lots of hats to pack! ☺️🧢 A big thank you to my amazing partners, clients, and colleagues who make working in this industry so rewarding and FUN! 🙌 Alex & Annie: The Real Women of Vacation Rentals Happy Guest Host & Home Boom CanMonkey Annie Holcombe Valerie Gangas Elaine Mose Stitcher Natasha Koporulina Amber Erickson-Hurdle K.
