Must listen to the episode with Dennis Ross

Found extreme value in how Dennis Ross broke down the Art of Storytelling.

“What happened because of what happened.”

Great hosts, informative podcast, knowledgeable guests.

Smart Kevin ,

Sharp and to the Point

As someone new to the business of Vacation Rentals, Matt and Brian are great at getting to the heart of a topic quickly, while still bring out the nuances. It’s a great way to see how the pros do it.
