At The Table with Power Haus Women
✨ At The Table with Power Haus Women is the podcast where bold conversations meet real collaboration for women in business. Hosted by five female founders from different cities, industries, and walks of life, this show pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build something powerful, together.
You won’t find gatekeeping or fluff here. Instead, we share honest stories, candid lessons, and actionable insight from building Power Haus Society, a nationwide network designed for women in business across all industries. As founders, we’re not only opening up about our own journey of building a movement rooted in community over competition, we’re also making space for you to claim your seat at the table.
From the stories and experiences our guests share to the realities of scaling a brand that’s redefining what it means to be a woman in business, each conversation is a reminder that collaboration is what happens at the top.
🎙️ New episodes drop every Wednesday. Whether you’re a business owner, creative, executive, or ambitious dreamer, there’s always room at the table for you.

At The Table with Power Haus Women
012. Naturally Charmed with Giovanna Richard
💌 Send us a Text, We love to hear from you!
Today we’re pulling up a chair for Giovanna Richard ; Charleston realtor, Airbnb superhost, world traveler, and one of our founding Power Haus Women market partners.
From her early days interning in real estate while still in college to now running a successful business (and an adorable Airbnb) in one of the most competitive markets in the South, Gio has done it all, with charm, strategy, and a whole lot of heart. But don’t let the sunshine fool you, she’s also fiercely direct, fights for her people, and knows exactly how to set boundaries when it matters most.
We get into travel stories, Charleston gems, hosting tips, and how Power Haus Women came full circle for her, plus some hot takes that had us cackling.
✨ What we get into:
- Charleston real estate, then vs. now
- The charm/serious duality and why it’s her secret weapon
- Building a business alongside a brick-and-mortar store
- How she joined Power Haus Women through a DM (and why she calls Telegram her girly ChatGPT)
- Managing her Airbnb, The Oyster House, and setting boundaries with guests
- Hosting tips for anyone starting in short-term rentals
- Why football commentators might actually be the worst
