It's the conversation founders don't get to have anywhere else. Think 60 Minutes, but for entrepreneurs. We sit down with the most interesting people in business and go past the highlight reel, past the pitch, past the polished version they give every other podcast. We go into the mud with them. The 2 a.m. doubts. The bet that almost ended everything. The moment they wanted to quit and didn't. You'll hear from household names like Gary V, Codie Sanchez, Rob Dyrdek, and Tom Bilyeu, and just as often from founders you've never heard of who are building something the world needs to know about. Either way, the goal is the same: a real conversation that makes you laugh, makes you think, and sometimes catches you off guard with how much it makes you feel. This is where the story behind the success finally gets told. This is \"Founder's Story.\"","last_synced_at":"2026-09-26T04:23:14.302086+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906"},"episode":{"title":"One Airbnb Condo Turned Into $1 Billion In Real Estate | Ep. 441 with Sky Mitchell Founder and CEO of Everwild Nordic Spa & Hotels","slug":"one-airbnb-condo-turned-into-1-billion-in-real-estate-ep-441-with-sky-mitchell-founder-and-ceo-of-everwild-nordic-spa-hotels","published_at":"2026-09-04T13:13:55+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906/one-airbnb-condo-turned-into-1-billion-in-real-estate-ep-441-with-sky-mitchell-founder-and-ceo-of-everwild-nordic-spa-hotels","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906","url":"https://bleav.com/shows/founders-story/","audio_url":"https://clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/1184/afp-969439-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/a7765f3f-02e4-4ded-bca1-01a20b7f82a5/episodes/179a3486-da4c-419d-867b-2476733447bd/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=a7765f3f-02e4-4ded-bca1-01a20b7f82a5&awEpisodeId=179a3486-da4c-419d-867b-2476733447bd&feed=NVPdHs07","summary":"Daniel Robbins sits down with Sky Mitchell, Founder and CEO of Everwild Nordic Spa & Hotels, to unpack how getting fired 30 days into a senior corporate job became the beginning of her entrepreneurial life. Sky shares how she started with one Airbnb condo in Canmore, refinanced her BMW to fund her first deal, nearly went bankrupt multiple times, and ultimately built a hospitality and wellness real estate platform with hundreds of employees and nearly $1 billion in development. The conversation covers the rise of experience-driven travel, Nordic spas, retail investors, rejection, risk, intuition, family, fundraising, and why Sky believes the future of hospitality sits at the intersection of wellness, nature, and connection.","meta_description":"Daniel Robbins sits down with Sky Mitchell, Founder and CEO of Everwild Nordic Spa & Hotels, to unpack how getting fired 30 days into a senior corporate j…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2365,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/founder-s-story-648906/episodes/one-airbnb-condo-turned-into-1-billion-in-real-estate-ep-441-with-sky-mitchell-founder-and-ceo-of-everwild-nordic-spa-hotels/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906/one-airbnb-condo-turned-into-1-billion-in-real-estate-ep-441-with-sky-mitchell-founder-and-ceo-of-everwild-nordic-spa-hotels.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
