Together, they have started a new joint venture called Keystone Retreats.These recurring cohorts aim to help those in the vacation rental industry break through to the next level through creative and educational workshops and events.Last year, Matt was feeling that burnout was creeping up on him.Not being his first rodeo, he knew exactly what the signs are, and decided to start pivoting towards Keystone Retreats - a new venture that would ultimately reignite his passion for the Vacation Rental Industry.Matt decided to join forces with Steve, who has over 22 years of vacation rental industry experience running Casago.Steve describes his time with Keystone Retreats as a real eye opening experience that has taught him how to better serve the vacation rental industry and become an even greater force in our space.Keystone Retreats is all about transformation.Instead of just focusing on just the business side of the vacation rental industry, the real purpose of these events is to help people unlock their north star by collaborating on new, creative projects and stimulating parts of their mind that might have been left unmoved since they were a kid.Steve shared their plan for future Keystone events - they are looking to step up their next iteration by having a clearer vision of what Keystone Retreats is, and constantly improving the value that’s brought to the participants.Their next step is to cultivate more amazing thought leaders that will come in to share their journeys, workshops, and transformative paths that will help you break through to the next level.If all of this sounds a little bit fluffy to you, you’re not the only one - even our host Alex was a bit skeptical about the creative workshop part of the events, but it ended up being the most memorable and transformative part of her Keystone Retreats experience, and one she fondly recalls to this day.Check out the full episode to learn more on what Keystone Retreats has in store for you!HIGHLIGHTS:01:15 - Matt’s Journey with Burnout03:19 - How Steve Joined Keystone Retreats05:58 - The Meaning of Keystone Retreats10:25 - What to Expect in Future Keystone Events14:32 - Should You Indulge in Creative Activities?17:21 - Will Keystone Retreats Attract the STR Industry?23:45 - The World-Class Experience of Keystone RetreatsThis episode is brought to you by Casago and Rev & Research!Connect with Steve:Website | LinkedinConnect with Matt:Website | LinkedinConnect with Alex and Annie:Alex Husner | Annie HolcombeAlexAndAnniePodcast.com
