Welcome to the Merry Mushroom! The project i never thought would end! I love the way it turned out. #wanderchatt #findyourrepurpose #gnome #hobbit #mushroom
We've had a lot of soil tests done over the years but this one's a little different. I was able to do this one myself. Took 15 plugs of soil from 2 different parcels then delivered to the AG Extension Office to be sent off and analyzed. What on earth have we gotten in to now?🤣
Siding on the gnome dome is well underway. Looks like they'll be rained out the next few days but hoping to get shakes started on the roof next week. Loving it! #cedar #cedarshingles #cedarshakes @wanderchatt
Well, it's done...for the most part. They should open this week if you're ready for some pizza. There are a few finishing details, but I love how it turned out! #rossvillega #shippingcontainer #pizzarestaurant #containerhome #repurposed #wanderchatt #findyourrepurpose
It's been a minute so here are some updates on the gnome dome (@wanderchatt ) hates when I call it that. To be named later lol. Windows and door are in. Drywall going in this week then finishing with a plaster look. Hopefully be opening by Labor Day. Lots to do! #gnomesweetgnome #wanderchatt #findyourrepurpose #hobbithouse #buildunique #uniquespaces
I know it's been a minute, but did I mention we were working on a shipping container pizza restaurant? 8 shipping containers that include a pizza restaurant, 2 studio apartments, and an open courtyard. #findyourrepurpose #wanderchatt #rossvillega #shippingcontainer @wanderchatt@river.drifters@rossvillegeorgia
You never know who you'll run into in the wild. Great getting to meet @experiencechattanooga at @canyongrill tonight on Lookout Mountain. Enjoy your stay at The Sassafras Treehouse!
In Episode 197 you’ll meet Mike Hicks of @wanderchatt and @findyourrepurpose …
Mike started his entrepreneurial journey at just 19 years old after dropping out of college to learn how to work for himself.
Mike got a job with a real estate developer helping to clear lots and doing an array of labor-intensive construction tasks.
He worked long hard days for this developer but after work Mike and the rest of the crew would be invited out to go fishing.
And it was during these moments that he started asking questions…how do you determine a good deal? What should you look for when purchasing a lot? Etc.
In this conversation Mike and I discuss:
- How he bought his first house as a 19 year old
- Why he moved into short-term rentals after nearly two decades of buying, renovating, and renting traditional long-term rentals
- Why he pivoted away from traditional vacation rentals and went all in on unique stays when founding Wander Chatt
- How he “interviews the land” before buying a lot
- His thoughts on the biggest opportunities for hospitality entrepreneurs today
- And so much more

We’ll, we've started a new build! So excited to share this along the way. We started with a #moonbeam and then moved on to the foundation where we insulated the slab, added radiant piping for heated floors, then poured and stamped the pad. Can't wait to see this one come to life! No, it's not a #yurt , #geodesicdome , or a #grainbin . Stay tuned. This is all @wanderchatt
Another Success Unlocked 🔓 episode, hot off the presses! 🔥
This week’s episode is Vacation Ventures, hosted by @findyourrepurpose , an STR host and creative builder with over twenty years of experience.
In this episode, Mike talks to Bill Cook, an accomplished expert in real estate investing, to shed light on his iron-clad private funding techniques rooted in human connection and hard work. His story starts in a cinematically familiar place – excelling as a door-to-door vacuum salesman in the 1980s.
The two swap stories of early inspiration and overcoming nay-sayers on their way to building unique and fulfilling careers in the rental space, going into deep detail on strategies which have proven out as effective, decade after decade.
Make sure you let Mike know what you think of this episode!
