He also runs The Living Room, a Sheridan music venue, along with the cleaning and maintenance arms that support the lodging business.

Talks

1. 01

   The Solo Operator's AI Stack

   Task by task: what runs on AI, what runs on rules and what still runs on me, across a management company, a brokerage and a venue with no employees. Including the automations that broke and what they cost. Everyone leaves with one agent scoped on paper.

   Best for: Small business owners, Property managers, STR operators

2. 02

   Autonomy: Build the Business That Runs Without You

   The test of a self-running business isn't revenue. It's whether you can be unreachable for two weeks. The coverage plan for customers, vendors and emergencies, and the order to build it in.

   Best for: Founders, Owner-operators, Leadership

3. 03

   The Vacation Rental Economy

   How I built Wyo Stays from zero capital in a town of 18,000: owning demand instead of renting it, the direct-booking math, and what a small market punishes that a big one forgives.

   Best for: Real estate, Hospitality, Investors

   Building from Nothing

   The raw story. A father lost at six, the system, and a company built anyway. What it takes when nobody believes in you.

   Best for: Youth, Nonprofits, Community

5. 05

   Unrealistic Goals

   Why the only goals worth setting are the ones that scare you, and the stoic framework I use to actually hit them.

   Best for: Entrepreneurs, Students, Leadership
