About Gerry MacPherson Gerry MacPherson knows hotel ownership is not always glamorous. Years ago, he helped operate a small hotel in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he experienced first-hand the pressure, unpredictability, and daily chaos that many hospitality properties still face today. Since then, Gerry has spent decades working in hospitality and tourism, visiting properties worldwide and learning what truly makes independent accommodation businesses succeed. Today, through Beds, Breakfast & Business, he helps B&B owners create calmer operations, stronger guest experiences, more direct bookings, and less stress through practical systems and honest hospitality conversations. 🎯 Download Your B&B Starter Blueprint: https://bedsbreakfastsbusiness.com/your-bb-starter-blueprint-pdf-download 🌐 Visit Beds, Breakfast & Business: https://bedsbreakfastsbusiness.com/ 📘 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bedbreakfastbusiness 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerrymacpherson/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bedsbreakfastsandbusiness/ New episodes released weekly.
