From iPhone Launches
to Rental Calendars
I spent nearly seven years at Apple as an Operations Program Manager, launching iPhones X through 12. I learned how to streamline complex systems, eliminate bottlenecks, and build processes that run with precision — because if an iPhone launch can't break the system, nothing can.
The pace was intense. Deadlines were constant. Eventually the stress caught up with me — and I began losing my hair. That was the wake-up call.
I asked myself the question every burned-out professional eventually faces: is this really the life I want to keep building?
Real estate had always interested me, so I started investing. My husband James and I flipped our first 6 houses in our first year — while still working full-time. But when I launched my first furnished rental, I realized something: the business felt chaotic. Weekend bookings, constant turnovers, calendar gaps.
Then the supply chain brain kicked in. I stopped thinking like a host and started thinking like an operations manager. I treated my calendar like inventory. Empty nights like unused factory capacity. Guest demand like a supply chain signal.
Everything changed.
