I think Jeds superpower is the ability to make processes and drill down into elemental building blocks.  

I have spent countless hours listening to different podcasts on the vacation and short term rental business. I hemmed and hawed for the better part of a year on whether to join a Masterclass / Mastermind group. After listening to Matt's interview with Jed, everything about the episode made so much business sense that I jumped at the opportunity to join VRMB and start the Accelerator Course. It was the first time I heard someone succinctly and methodically outline all the elements needed to create, sustain, and grow a successful vacation rental management business, without trying to lead me down a primrose path of riches and possibilities.

It is important to learn continuously and with those who put their own hands in the work. Nowadays with so many gurus on the internet it is a hard task to distinguish what deserves your attention and what does not. This team is made up of doers. I couldn't be happier and more satisfied. I recommend them 100 times. (1/20/23)Our leadership development programs are designed to help you build the skills and expertise needed to lead your business to success. We offer a range of training and coaching programs to help you become a more effective leader.
