EPISODE 408: Have you ever struggled to find good housing while on work travel?

We all did at some point.

With all these mega projects going on around the country, workforce housing is a very serious challenge. But most people don\u2019t realize that bad housing conditions significantly impact traveling workers\u2019 morale, especially those in construction. So, how are we supposed to address this silent crisis?

In this week\u2019s episode, my co-host Nathan Wood and I have the pleasure of interviewing Yeves Perez, a branding expert turned innovative and visionary CEO.

Yeves is the CEO of WorkBnB, a B2B SaaS platform providing workforce rental homes for millions of traveling workers in the U.S.

Today, Yeves shares his journey and how a call from his mother led him to revolutionize short-term vacation rentals to workforce rentals, highlighting the importance of proper branding.

We also talk about the broader impacts of such housing solutions on employee morale and talent recruitment and retention in construction, what makes WorkBnB different from other booking platforms, and much more.
