Join in for a conversation with Marcus Rader, Co-Founder, and CEO of Hostaway. Hostaway is a global property management software company and it's no surprise that this podcast focuses on Marcus' global career and Finnish background. In our conversation, we start with epilepsy killing a dream to be a pilot, running his own loan business at age 11 and the various trials and tribulations of a decade long career in the startup world that eventually led to the creation of Hostaway. We also talk in-depth into various cultural nuances, especially the difference between Finland and Canada. I for one had no idea what it meant to culturally embrace honesty until I spoke with Marcus and also came away with some new-found knowledge I hope to utilize in my future visit to Finland.
