This week on The Glamping Business Roundup, Vicki and John sit down with Taylor Glass, founder of GlampLaunch, to talk about shaking up the traditional glamping pod market with a lean, digital-first approach.

From quitting his job with nothing but a laptop and a big idea, to delivering bespoke pods across the UK and Europe, Taylor shares the honest reality of building a business at just 23.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Taylor went from electrician to glamping entrepreneur
• Why he ditched expensive showrooms and trade show overheads
• The power of founder-led marketing and authentic storytelling
• Lessons learned from delivery day disasters and site setup challenges
• Why social media, video content and AI search are changing the way guests book
• The common mistakes new site owners make when launching
• Why “people buy from people” matters more than ever in 2026

Plus, Vicki and John share their own behind-the-scenes struggles getting sites ready for the new season — from mould and mice damage to those all-too-familiar “should we sell it all?” moments.

A must-listen for anyone running a glamping site, planning a new launch, or navigating the realities of hospitality entrepreneurship.

Thanks so much for listening.
