    Episode 169: The OG of VR returns! Carl Shepherd of Homeaway, Reprised.

    Episode 169: The OG of VR returns! Carl Shepherd of Homeaway, Reprised.

    This week Sarah and T reprise an episode from 5 years ago that is just as relevant today as it was when it first aired.   Carl Shepherd,  one of the co-founders of HomeAway (now Vrbo), was interviewed by Sarah and Tim in the fall of 2019.   The interview was wide ranging and filled with predictions about the future which have all come true.   Many consider this the best episode in the history of the program.   Sit back and listen to one of the true visionaries in the industry give a great rundown on the history and future of vacation rentals.

Hi Sarah & T(im),

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, TAHNK YOU, for this podcast! I’m surprised that I’m the first to rate and review your podcast here. I’m a new “professional” property manager managing a single property (of my own). Listening to your podcast is like going to PM university. Everything you guys said are exactly what I need. My property is two hours drive away from my home, so I downloaded all your episodes and have been binge listening to them religiously during my “commute”. Such a cache of treasure that I just discovered.

One suggestion, if I may make, is to add a more detailed show notes with all the bullet points and some links to the external resources you mentioned in the podcast. Sorry, I’m asking for more from you. Your show is great as is!

Thank you again!

Tony
