In Deep Shift: Navigating Change, Loss, and Business Growth with Valerie Gangas
Manage episode 500220289 series 3001947
This week, Alex & Annie sit down with Valerie Gangas, Founder & CEO of Juniper Holiday + Homes, for a conversation that blends business, design, and deep personal transformation.
Valerie shares how Juniper began with a personal real estate portfolio and evolved into a thriving multi-market vacation rental management company operating in Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, and Utah. From navigating the early days of property management without industry experience to creating beautifully designed homes that guests love, she reflects on the mindset and adaptability that fueled her growth.
But Valerie’s story goes beyond entrepreneurship. Drawing from her background in hospitality, real estate development, and her work with the David Lynch Foundation and Oprah Winfrey Studios, she opens up about her journey through profound personal loss and how it inspired her two books, Enlightenment Is Sexy and In Deep Shift.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How a pandemic pivot sparked the birth of Juniper Holiday + Homes
- Why design and hospitality go hand in hand in creating guest loyalty
- The life lessons behind Valerie’s books, and the courage to live with vulnerability
- How to notice and trust the “signs” that guide you toward the right opportunities
- Why detachment from outcomes can lead to more meaningful success
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a creative, or someone navigating your own turning point, Valerie’s story is a reminder that the paths we never planned often lead us to our most fulfilling chapters.
