In this episode of the Short-Term Rental Playmaker Podcast, Joe sits down with Libby Ross, one half of a dynamic hosting duo alongside her husband Cody Ross.
Libby and Cody are Hospitable Hosts book contributors, co-authoring alongside Joe Rohne in the upcoming release of Hospitable Hosts Couple Edition, launching February 14, 2026. Based in the Oklahoma City area, they own and cohost multiple short-term rental properties and have built a reputation for strong systems, local expertise, and hands-on hospitality.
What makes their story especially compelling is how they identified a recurring pain point for hosts—trash and turnover logistics—and turned it into a dedicated trash service built specifically for short-term rental operators in their market. This episode dives into how solving your own operational problems can unlock entirely new revenue streams.
