The Current State of Real Estate

In this episode of The Business Gay Podcast, host Calan Breckon speaks with Real Estate Investor and Entrepreneur, Jason Muth.
Jason stepped away from corporate life after decades of work at some of the biggest media companies in the US including Comcast, NBC Universal, and iHeartMedia to name a few. Jason became a full-time entrepreneur in 2022 when his ongoing real estate investing side hustle became more profitable than his corporate life.
In 2023, he launched Prideaway Stays, a boutique gay-owned, tech-driven short-term rental co-hosting business for homeowners and guests in historic and magical Provincetown, or as the gays call it “P-Town.”
With a commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and supporting LGBTQ causes, Prideaway Stays enhances the vacation rental experience for both homeowners and guests.
