“those 1 What was it? You mentioned like sitting in your classroom and just kind of dreaming. But I mean, there was something about starting these businesses. Like not every college kid does that, right? And I want to ask you about this house that you bought around the time you graduated because the idea was you'd buy it, renovated, got it, renovate it, and then flip it. First of all, how did you know how to do stuff in house? Did you grow up being taught that? Dad and I were super putting up drywall and stuff like that.”

“I mean, you even sold a business in college, a laundry business Probably not for a whole lot of money, but still you start a business and somebody bought it from your client list or whatever. Yeah, that's true. You were doing, you were just collecting people's laundry and.”

“It's interesting how failure is like a gift, like who knows, right? Because I know that while you were in college, this is the mid to late 90s, you start to do these what now in hindsight we know are like entrepreneurial things, right? Sure. Selling firecrackers and and a laundry business at one point.”

“And good enough if I know you started out. At a local community college, but then you got recruited to play for Baylor's baseball team. Obviously better known for football, but still like, I mean, you're talking about D1 baseball.”

“Started. No pitch deck, no business plan, no investors. Chip and Joanna met in two thousand one. They got married two years later, and from the start, they worked side by side. Joanna ran a small home goods shop, and Chip flipped houses, and together they built something bigger than either of them ever imagined. Now, before all of that, both Chip and Joanna's fathers ran their own businesses. Chip was partly raised in Dallas, where he grew up playing baseball, and his dad owned a sporting goods business in town”

“You can thank Chip and Joanna because they are widely credited for popularizing the now ubiquitous farmhouse look. A few weeks ago, I flew out to Texas to see how these two people changed the city of Waco. In the center of town, there's a sprawling property called the Silos. It was a disused cottonseed oil refinery that was redeveloped by the Gaines over the past decade. And today, it's the center of activity in Waco. There's a coffee shop, a bakery, food trucks, a row of stores filled with cool, curated items for sale, and of course a large furniture and home goods store called Magnolia, which is also the name of Chip and Joanna's business. There's a TV network, a magazine, books, restaurants, home decor lines, even packaged baked goods, now sold at Target. And what's most striking is how it all.”

“If I said Waco, Texas just 10 or 15 years ago, you'd likely think of two things possibly Baylor University, but more likely the standoff between federal agents and the branch Davidian cult in nineteen ninety three that ended in tragedy. For years that's what defined Waco. People even called it wacky Waco. But today you're just as likely to meet someone who associates Waco with classic American home decor. And that's almost entirely because of two local residents, Chip and Joanna Gaines. If you know them, it's most likely because of their TV show called Fixer Upper, a reality show where Chip and Joanna renovated homes on a tight budget. And if you've renovated your home over the past 15 years and it included reclaimed wood or shiplap or barn doors or a large apron.”

“You know, one of my favorite parts of traveling is getting a feel for a neighborhood, the way locals do. A few summers ago, I was in Rome and stayed in an apartment I booked on Airbnb. It was tucked in a quiet neighborhood just outside the Roman forum. Every morning I'd walk to the corner cafe, grab an espresso, and just watch the world go by outside. I even managed to chat with the owner about the neighborhood he lived in for nearly forty years. And he got me thinking about my own neighborhood. There are incredible hiking trails and great restaurants and, of course, the beach. And when I'm traveling this summer, listing my own place on Airbnb could be a really smart way to let someone else experience the area the way I do, like a local. Listing your home on Airbnb while you're traveling is a great way to make some extra money. You could put the money toward your next trip. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much”
