About this episode

Vivian Yip shares her journey from Apple to real estate, discussing mid-term rentals and personal growth.

She was launching the iPhone 12 during the pandemic. Supply chain chaos across multiple countries, 16 to 18 hour days, and an enormous amount of stress. Then she lost her hair. All of it. In eight weeks. That was the moment Vivian Yip decided to bet on herself. Five months after quitting Apple, she made $600,000 on a single real estate deal. Today she runs Crew Homes and Hestia 360, a property management company built around the mid-term rental strategy. She has 20 plus years of corporate operations experience, a master's degree in supply chain management, and a book called The Frictionless MTR System. In this episode we talk about how to build a real estate business that runs without you, why mid-term rentals outperform both short-term and long-term for most operators, and what it actually takes to leave corporate and build on your own terms. 00:00 Episode teaser and the corporate stress at Apple 00:36 Introduction: Vince Perri welcomes Vivian Yip 02:09 Vivian's journey: dealing with alopecia and leaving the corporate world 03:32 Mindset shift: how adversity shapes the person you become 06:39 From Apple to real estate: applying corporate operations to business 08:02 Introducing…
