Episode Description from the Publisher

After her husband was involved in a serious car accident while on his way to a work conference, today’s expert guest began to reevaluate everything. What followed was a leap of faith to create more time and freedom for her and her family, while also solving a problem for others that they had experienced firsthand. This Week’s Guest: Rose Tipka is the CEO and Founder of Your Family’s Place, a vacation rental company in Ohio’s Amish country focused on larger homes spread across 75 acres. Not only is Rose’s company impressive, but what makes her story even more interesting is that she had no background in real estate at all. In fact, before creating Your Family’s Place, Rose was a schoolteacher who then became a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling all SIX of her children.
