In this special episode, we kick off our brand-new Leadership Series with someone who’s been part of this journey from the very beginning - Matt Landau.
Matt’s been on the show more than 20 times over the years, but this conversation feels different. It’s deeper, more reflective, and marks a shift in how we talk about leadership in the vacation rental industry.
From managing boutique vacation rentals in Panama City’s historic Casco Viejo to founding The Vacation Rental Marketing Blog and The Inner Circle, Matt has always led by example. But over the last few years, he’s taken a big step back - literally and figuratively - to re-evaluate what leadership really means. His latest project, Here Goes Nothin’, is all about helping short-term rental professionals find clarity, reconnect with purpose, and lead from a place of authenticity.

***Use code SSTIRCRAZY for 50% off your first annual plan***
We’re back with Part 2 of my chat with AI educator and vacation rental marketer, Nihal Salah - and trust me, if you thought the first conversation was packed, this one goes even deeper.
In this episode, we tackle the challenge so many of us are facing right now: how do you choose the right AI tools without getting overwhelmed by the endless options? With over 32,000+ tools out there (yes, really), it’s easy to fall into analysis paralysis or end up subscribing to a dozen platforms you barely use.
Nihal and I share our favorite go-to tools, what we’re using in our own businesses, and how to evaluate which platforms are truly worth your time and money. We also explore the difference between individual LLMs (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) versus aggregator platforms (like Abacus and Poe), and how each one fits into a short-term rental operator’s toolkit.
We even take a side trip into dog diet planning using Claude (yes, AI really can do that), and why being intentional is the most important skill you can develop when integrating AI into your business.
