In this continuation of last week’s episode, Jayme and Brett unpack the aftermath of that bold auction win—and all that came next.
This isn’t the polished version. With long nights, hurricane panic, and the hustle that turned a half-baked idea into a thriving waterfront business. From navigating city permits to learning how to run boats (literally), this is where the grind met the dream.
If Part 1 was about the shot we took—Part 2 is about what it took to survive.
👊 It’s messy. It’s gritty. And it’s exactly how Beach Weekend was born.
🎧 What you’ll hear:
The chaos after winning the auction
How we navigated unexpected legal and city roadblocks
The leap from "idea" to full-blown marina operation
