Harvest Hosts: one guy, low 7-figure profit, run from Vail

Joel Holland bought Harvest Hosts, a $60-80/yr membership letting RVers park free at 1,400 wineries, improved the website and marketing, and grew it to low 7 figures in profit — running it from Vail with one full-time employee and a few contractors. Begelman holds him up as the entrepreneur we should idolize over Musk and Bezos.

“And, uh, yeah, it's a membership company with low churn and super happy customers. And, you know, Joel runs it with one full-time employee and a handful of contractors, and he lives in Vail, Colorado. And like this, by the way, this is the kind of entrepreneur that I feel like should be our heroes.”
