What if marketing was the part of hosting you could finally stop worrying about?

Build an AI Team that sounds like the host you are — trained on your voice, your guests, your properties, and your destination, running on my proven vacation rental marketing frameworks. You lead the strategy with a professional marketer in your corner. Your agency does the work.

You didn't know you were going to have to be a digital marketing expert when you started this business.

Yet, here you are trying to figure it all out. On your own. You join the groups, listen to the experts. Watch the trainings. Facebook. Instagram. Email marketing. Book direct website. Google Business. You have enough on your plate just managing your properties. 

AI was supposed to be the miracle that could make marketing (and managing) easier.

You keep hearing how others are making it work with amazing results. But you're fighting with a bot who makes up amenities, sounds like...AI slop, and doesn't know one thing about this business it is supposed to be helping you with.

Sometimes it's absolutely incredible and you think you've finally figured it out. Other times you spend more time fixing the output than you'd have spent writing it yourself. And even if you do get the voice dialed in, you still have to re-explain, find the right thread, figure out where you left off. Every new chat starts with you re-explaining your property, your guests, your destination, all over again.

That's not a marketing system. It's a jumbled mess of AI nonsense.

You are still the bottleneck because you have to tell it what to do and when. And to be honest, you aren't always sure. When hosting (and life) gets in the way, marketing breaks into pieces.

The email doesn't go out.
The blog sits half-finished.
Social turns into another last-minute post you started last week, in some chat thread, somewhere.

You're throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping someone books.

Maybe you've taken one of the hundreds of AI courses, workshops or bootcamps, but then realized they aren't made for hospitality. They're made for online marketers or entrepreneurs. You didn't sign up to get a marketing degree or become an expert prompt engineer. You just want a simple system that helps fill your empty calendar.

You're a great host. Your reviews prove it. But what comes out of that chat window sounds like a bot wearing your name tag, and some days like a drunk intern gone rogue.

But AI isn't a drunk intern.  It's the employee that nobody trained properly. 

Join Us

Join the Savvy Host AI Lab and in just 8 weeks you'll have a trained AI team that understands hospitality and knows your business.

Because hospitality marketing should sound like great hospitality, not bad AI.

Here's the thing.

You would never hire an employee and not train them.

You wouldn't trust your cleaning with someone that didn't know how to clean. And you wouldn't trust your marketing with someone that didn't understand marketing. You'd hire someone with experience. Then you'd train them on your business, your properties, and the way you want to run things.

Yet that's exactly how most people are trying to use AI. Right out of the box, without giving it the foundational training so it understands what it is supposed to do, why and how.

Which is exactly why it disappoints them. AI is only ever as good as what it's been given. Vague positioning, thin property details, no real sense of who you're talking to — and you get vague, thin, generic work back. The problem was never that the tool wasn't smart enough. It's that nobody ever told it anything worth knowing.

This is also why more agents won't save you. Everyone is selling autonomy right now — AI that goes off and does the work by itself. But an untrained agent just makes generic mistakes faster, and without a plan behind it, ten of them produce ten disconnected pieces of content nobody asked for.

And that's the problem the Savvy Host AI Lab takes care of. The Lab is the program. What you walk away with is your own AI Agency.

I hand you a marketing team already trained on my hospitality marketing frameworks, built through years of trial and error with hosts all over the world. Then we do it in the right order.

01
The Brand Foundation
Weeks 1–4
Guest avatars, positioning, and your offer matrix. Brand voice and brand story. A property reference book, and everything your reviews already tell you about why people book. It all becomes your Hospitality Brand Bible™ — the brain every specialist works from.
02
The Marketing Strategy
Weeks 5–6
Competition and destination research. Your guest journey map. A six-month marketing roadmap built around seasonality, availability, and booking windows — then broken down into a 90-day content plan and an editorial calendar for blogs and email.
03
The Specialist Team
Weeks 7–8
Now the writers go to work. Blog and website content built for Google and AI search. Social posts and Reel storyboards. Email campaigns and sequences. Listing descriptions, and guest messages that sound like your hospitality. Every one of them working from 01 and 02.

And then it stops being a chat window. You are not creating from nothing anymore. You have a coordinated system that follows a plan you built with AI.

Imagine waking up on October 15th with a system in place and content ready to approve and schedule.

Email Specialist
Wrote the email blast about the holiday Trail of Lights and the Santa Suit contest.
Social Specialist
Wrote four social posts about December family fun, with scheduling suggestions it can add to your calendar or task manager.
Listing Writer
Reminded you to update with photos of holiday decor, snow on the ground, and the big family dining room.
Blog Specialist
Wrote the December events calendar blog, with image suggestions.

Everyone working from the same source of truth. Everyone knowing what to produce, and when. And if December is booked, it moves on to the next season without missing a beat.

That's the difference between AI that kinda-sorta works, and a trained AI agency built the way a real marketing agency works. With a coordinated strategy across all team members. Where everyone knows what's going on and understands what they need to produce. And when.

Every host in your destination is using ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to help them with their marketing. AI is no longer an advantage. The foundations, strategy and training are.

In the Savvy Host AI Lab we spend four weeks training Claude on your business foundations, with my strategy behind it, before your team ever writes a word.

Is it a lot? It's real work. So I built the program so you actually finish it.

BUILD YOUR AI TEAM

What happens when you actually train it.

On social

“I’ve done avatar work before, but this guided me through developing my avatar much better than anything I’ve had before. I actually feel like I know her. My first Facebook post with the AI received 10,000 views, 180 likes and 18 comments. Because I spoke directly to my avatar. Your AI Team works!”

Cat Caszatt · Galveston Caszatt Condos
On blogs and AI search

“Jodi’s blogging tools and Claude Skills and training have saved me hours creating not only more content, but better content. I see results every week when I check where we’ve been cited.”

Ann-Tyler Konradi · The Yurtopian Hill Country Resort
Train your marketing team

Your AI Marketing Agency Roster.

Ten specialists, each trained on your brand, your guests, and your destination. Together they handle the work that used to land on your plate at the end of every long day.

Here's the structure: you're the CMO. You lead. Under you sit your directors, who set the plan, and your specialists, who do the work. Every one of them trained on your business, all working from the same source of truth.

The team that does the work
Jodi Bourne working on her laptop in a vacation rental cabin Build my AI team

10 team members, trained on your voice and working on your business.

Brand Director

Builds the brain.

The end of sounding like everyone else. Turns your guests, voice, and story into a Hospitality Brand Bible™ every other teammate works from.

  • Your Perfect Guest Avatars: who they are, what they want, and why they pick you over the near-identical place down the road
  • Positioning, your offer matrix, and the Property Reference Book the whole team writes from
  • Your Hospitality Voice and brand story documented, plus everything useful hiding in reviews you already have

Marketing Director

Sets the plan.

Ends the guessing. Builds a six-month roadmap around seasonality, availability, booking windows, and direct-booking priorities.

  • A six-month roadmap built around your seasons, your booking windows, and what is actually still open
  • Competitor research and the guest journey mapped from dreaming to booked
  • A KPI dashboard and a conversion audit of your direct booking site, so you know what is working and what is decoration

Content Manager

Runs the calendar.

Keeps marketing moving when operations get busy. Maintains the 90-day plan and repurposes one strong idea across channels.

  • Your 90-Day Content Playbook and the editorial calendar for blogs and email
  • A blog plan that connects posts to each other instead of leaving them stranded
  • Turns one strong idea into a week of content across every channel, so you stop starting from nothing

Destination Marketing Specialist

Sells the town.

Guests choose the destination before they choose the property. This is the teammate that gets you into that conversation early.

  • Your Destination Content Brief™: restaurants, trails, seasons, logistics, all from your own knowledge, never scraped from a search result
  • Custom guest itineraries and a local event calendar that stays current
  • Lead magnets that catch the traveller who has picked your town but not yet picked a bed

Content Specialist

Writes long-form.

Gets you found by the guests already searching. Blog content built from your destination knowledge and your avatar, ready for your approval.

  • Blog posts written from your Destination Brief and your avatar, not from a keyword tool
  • Rewrites the posts you already have so they stop sounding like everyone else’s
  • Every piece tied back to a property and a booking window, so content actually leads somewhere

Listing Specialist

Wins the click.

Your listing is the one piece of marketing that never stops working. This teammate treats it that way.

  • Listing descriptions for Airbnb, VRBO, and your direct site, written to your avatar rather than to everybody
  • Photo captions and running order, because the pictures sell before a single word gets read
  • Audits what is live right now and reminds you when it is time for the seasonal update

Email Specialist

Fills the inbox.

Keeps past guests from becoming forgotten guests. Campaigns and sequences that continue the relationship after checkout.

  • Welcome sequences and monthly newsletters that sound like you wrote them at the kitchen table
  • Inquiry follow-ups that answer the question behind the question
  • Past-guest rebooking campaigns, because the cheapest booking you will ever get is someone who already came

Social Media Specialist

Feeds the feed.

Turns "what do I post?" into a plan. Captions, Reel and video storyboards, and Facebook content that speaks to the right guest.

  • Profile optimization and a first post pack built straight from your foundation documents
  • Instagram and Facebook captions, plus Reel and short-form video storyboards with shot suggestions
  • DM replies that turn a question into a booking, and the hooks worth putting money behind

Guest Communications

Protects the stars.

Keeps your 5-star reputation five stars. Guest messages and review responses that sound like your hospitality, not a template.

  • Message templates for every stage: inquiry, pre-arrival, mid-stay, checkout, and after
  • Review responses in your voice, including the awkward ones you have been putting off
  • The tone that keeps five stars looking like five stars to the next person reading them

Productivity Assistant

Clears the desk.

Stops admin from swallowing the marketing day. Also the one who keeps everybody else on schedule.

  • Your weekly CMO briefing: what happened, what is due, and what actually needs you
  • Keeps the rest of the team moving and tells you what they need from you before it is late
  • Prepares drafts and runs the repeatable work, so admin stops eating the hours you meant to spend on marketing

Works with the tools you already use, where your stack allows. Approved work can move into repeatable workflows for email, blogs, social, and guest communication. You approve the work; the system reduces the repetitive steps between idea and publication.

Real output

Here's what "trained on your business" actually looks like.

Not a fictional cabin. Not a staged prompt demo. This is a real Claude conversation with a real client, Track Rental in Saratoga Springs, using their Listing Specialist trained on their brand voice, their racing-professional guest avatar, and Saratoga racing-season knowledge.

Step one

Watch it think like a marketer.

Claude asking strategic questions about a Saratoga Springs listing
  • “Used a Skill” — the trained Listing Specialist fires on its own
  • “Practical details that matter to horsemen” — it knows the guest avatar by name
  • “Nelson Ave or Union Ave” — it knows the geography of the destination
  • “The Paddock House” — property naming in the brand voice
Step two

Then watch it produce.

The finished listing description with meta title, branded heading, and racing-professional positioning
  • Meta title and description, ready to paste into the listing platform
  • A heading written for one specific guest, not for everybody
  • Benefit-led structure: “the walk changes everything,” “your dog makes the trip too”
  • Filed to the client’s own folder, so the team remembers the property next time

AI is changing. Generic prompts aren't enough

I've trained your AI Team on three proven frameworks no AI prompt pack can replicate.

Built just for the vacation rental industry. 

A System that isn't built on prompts. It's built on 40+ hours of teaching transcripts from my work with vacation rental hosts and students across the world over the past 11 years. It knows how I teach. It knows how I think.

01
The Philosophy
Reach guests in the dreaming phase.
Built on the Guest First Framework™ — five strategic shifts from competing on price to competing on hospitality.
02
The Strategy
Reach them before they decide where to go.
Built on the C-3 Framework™ — destination content that meets guests in dreaming, planning, and post-stay phases.
03
The Execution
Create trust and generate real bookings from your content. 
Built on the Content Marketing Traffic Circle™ — connecting every blog, post, and email back to your direct booking site or OTA listing. 

Airbnb meets them after they decide where to go. Your marketing should meet them before.

82% of travelers haven't decided where to stay when they start dreaming and planning. — TripAdvisor

Your AI marketing team is trained to do exactly that.

Every host in your destination is using the same AI tools.

The tools won't be the advantage. The foundations and training will.

Before we build the team, we build the brain: the guest avatars, positioning, brand voice, property knowledge, destination intelligence, and marketing plan every specialist needs to do useful work. That's the difference between a cheap setup that hands you disconnected bots and a trained system with real business intelligence behind it.

The Savvy Host AI Lab is not just learning AI, it's learning the marketing frameworks I've been using and teaching for years. The skills teach as you go along: explanations, demonstrations, and quizzes throughout. Once you are done, you'll be able to direct your new team because you understand why it matters.

You don't just get an Instagram caption writer with a hospitality label slapped on it. You get a Social Media Specialist following the strategy that helped build a 60K Instagram following. A Content Specialist built from an SEO expert whose client content ranks on page one of Google, and gets cited in AI. Your Social Media Specialist follows a strategy set by your Marketing Director and Content Manager. It considers what property is available, which guest it needs to reach, what they're planning and worrying about, the amenities that matter most, the booking window, the season, and the next action to invite.

These are Skills I've built, tested, and refined with real vacation rental and glamping businesses in multiple markets over the past eighteen months. Not a demo. The real thing. And I'm sharing them with you. 

Your AI team works because the strategy works.  That's what you're paying for.  

“The defining feature of Jodi’s approach is a deliberate constraint: that the Skills won’t produce usable output until the underlying brand work is done first.”

Heather Bayer · Host, Vacation Rental Success Podcast

Foundations first, then the team, then the output.

That's what separates a trained marketing system from another folder of AI tools.

EIGHT WEEKS OF WORK · + FOUR MORE WEEKS OF SUPPORT

The team learns your business before it works for you.

Watch what your team knows at each stage. That's the whole design. And we're going to have fun doing it. You'll learn a ton along the way, and not just about AI. The foundation weeks are where your own business will come into focus — even if you think it already is.

Week 0 · Opens the day you enrol

Claude Ready Onboarding

Setup, workspace map, naming standards, guided first workflow, Skill install, readiness output Jodi reviews, Framework overview.

Your team knows: nothing yet. That's the point.

Weeks 1–4 · Foundations

Train the Team

Week 1 is a guided sprint. Four days, an hour a day, and we build your Perfect Guest Avatar and your Hospitality Brand Voice together, live. You finish the week with updated listing copy written from that foundation, ready for modern search and AI-assisted discovery. That's your first win, in Week 1, not Week 8. Weeks 2 to 4 finish the rest of the Hospitality Brand Bible™: brand story, offer matrix, review intelligence, property and listing knowledge, Destination Brief, competition and positioning.

Your team knows: nothing yet at the start. By the end, everything about who you are and who you're for.

Weeks 5–6 · Strategy

Build the System

Six-month roadmap, Guest Journey Content Map, and the strategic plan every specialist will follow.

Your team knows: who to talk to, what to say, and when it belongs.

Weeks 7–8 · Content

Install and Run

Content Manager, Content Specialist, Social, Email, Guest Communications, Productivity Assistant, 90-day plan, and editorial calendar — plus adding connectors, where possible, to automate the repeatable work.

Your team now has the business knowledge and strategy it needs to begin useful work. You review and approve before publish.

Weeks 9–12 · Savvy Host Community

Supported Implementation

Week 9 opens with a second Get It Done sprint, four days, an hour a day, so momentum doesn't die when the cohort ends. Then community, topical discussions, Skill drops, and marketing feedback. Troubleshoot, refine, and expand the system, closing with a two-hour group Show and Tell where you share what your team is building and leave with your next-step priorities.

The goal is not to produce more content. It's the right marketing for the right guest at the right point in the booking journey, without rebuilding the strategy every time.

Jodi Bourne
Who’s teaching this

Jodi Bourne

I've spent more than two decades building brands and marketing strategies, with the last 14 of those in tourism and hospitality. I'm not a host who got lucky and started coaching. I'm a career marketer who chose this industry on purpose, and I've spent that time helping small operators build profitable businesses by focusing on their guests. I call this the Guest First Framework™, and every strategy I teach is based on that core message.

As an early adopter of AI tools like Jasper, then ChatGPT, I made all the mistakes, gave up completely, then went all in on Claude, learning to train AI to do the real jobs I needed help with for my clients: avatar development, marketing strategy, email newsletters, and blog drafts.

Here's what all of that means for you: you don't need to become an AI expert. You already have the most valuable raw material: your guests, your property, your destination. I teach the Claude setup, the workflows, and give you the team built on my frameworks. You bring the business knowledge only you have. That's the deal, and it's a good one.

“Structured, brand-first, and allergic to generic output — which is why I love her so much.”

Heather Bayer · Host, Vacation Rental Success Podcast

“I use Claude in every communication, every contract. Your impact is lasting.”

The avatar work compounds

"I saw Jodi speak at the Vacation Rental Women's Conference and her session was worth the price of my entire ticket. Since then I've taken her courses and group coaching program and learned at every step, and through the process she helped me rethink my guest avatar and elevate the brand. Since taking the program our email list has grown by leaps and bounds and direct bookings are finally a reality."

Susanne Young · Urban Shores, Kelowna
Objection: I've tried everything else

"I went through many webinars and joined many Facebook groups and couldn't find someone who spoke to me. Until Jodi. I learned how to research and write blogs, how to create social content that works, and how to build guest avatars that are the base of our marketing plan. It's an investment that will pay for itself."

Brittany B. · Breathe Easy Rentals, Destin FL
A mentor, not a course you buy once

"Jodi has been my mentor for the past few years. She's masterful, especially with vacation rental marketing. Her coaching style is laid back and informative. If Jodi doesn't know the answer to a question, she'll find it and then create a quick walk-through video and share it with you."

Cat Caszatt · Galveston Caszatt Condos
The teaching sticks

"So much information in a very friendly, manageable format. Now I have all that powerful information I can pull out whenever I need motivating or redirecting. It's been two years since the program and she still checks in and cheers me on."

Sherene · My Star VR, Kanab UT
Listings and pricing

"Jodi revamped our property messaging and optimized our listings with fresh descriptions and stunning photos. She showed us how to update our headlines, titles, and image order to reflect seasonal changes and adapt during downturns. Thanks to Jodi's guidance, we reached Top 1% Guest Favorite status and saw a significant increase in bookings and profits for Tahoe Magic. We also successfully launched our San Diego property, a feat we couldn't have achieved without her support."

Ed & Kim MacBeth · Sun to Snow Properties · Incline Village NV + San Diego CA
Objection: I already took a big STR program

"We joined a Master Class Program from a seasoned STR expert. We learned a lot, but we still needed more. We engaged Jodi and got to work. All of it was distinctly different than anything the program had provided. Jodi encouraged us to price our STR at double the price of nearby STRs. She was right. Since launching we are running at north of 85% occupancy."

Alan & Megan Kleber · Spring Creek Retreats, NC
Revenue

"One of our units produced a 50% increase in the first six months and we had our best year ever. She gave us a much better understanding of our data to make better marketing decisions."

Sheri & Devon Holland · Twisted Horns Ridge, Bandera TX
Direct bookings

"100% direct bookings in our first year with Jodi leading us the entire way — social media, email marketing, blogs and website. She did it all."

Yvette Strange · Spoon Mountain Glamping
Strategy that actually gets executed

"Her marketing strategy and implementation skills are second to none — from helping us clarify our brand voice to building actionable, results-driven campaigns. Jodi doesn't just create a plan; she makes sure it gets executed effectively, and the results speak for themselves."

The Yurtopian Hill Country Resort · Texas
Wish I'd started sooner

"Her help was crucial to understanding and growing our luxury vacation rental business, and we are almost 100% direct bookings. I only wish I had hired Jodi earlier, I'd be much further along in our business."

Martie Jobe · Happy in the Keys, Marathon FL
Growth

"I have worked with Jodi for nearly two years and in that time my business has grown from four to twelve properties. She has helped me with branding, TouchStay guides, systems integration, website, and social media. I couldn't have done it without her."

Sheila Dickinson · Escapes by Sheila
The training is the advantage

"Everybody's going to have the same set of tools, but yours is based on all your experience and knowledge. That's the thing that makes the big difference for anyone serious about setting it up."

How this works

Small group instruction, twice a week.

You're not joining a webinar with hundreds of muted attendees. Limited to 12 so Jodi can review real work, answer real questions, and troubleshoot live while you share your screen.

The weekly rhythm: 2 hours per week of instruction and support.

Weeks 1–4 · Foundational Weeks

1 hour 15 minutes Wednesday — Watch Me, then Do on your own.
45 minutes Thursday — Show & Tell & Troubleshoot. I share examples and answer questions, with marked time for finishing that week's assignments.

Weeks 5–8 · Thursday Office Hours

2 hours per week — an open Zoom call for questions, strategy support, feedback, help getting unstuck, and tech support with Claude.

Weeks 9–12 · Savvy Host Community

One full month inside the AI Lab community, with a 2-hour monthly get-it-done week, plus weekly topical discussions, skill drops, prompt support, marketing feedback and more.

The Claude Skills teach while you do, so you understand the why and the how. When you are working on your own, without me in the room, you know how to make those decisions yourself.

What you own: everything your team produces, every document, output, and piece of content, permanently. Your Hospitality Brand Bible™ and foundational documents are portable and work with ChatGPT, Gemini, or whatever comes next. The Skills themselves are yours to keep and use in your business for as long as you like. You own your team and everything it makes. No ongoing membership is required to keep any of it.

Fit

Who this is for, and who it isn't.

Built for you if

  • You're a self-managing host, boutique operator, or property manager, generally under 30 properties in no more than two destinations. It works for larger companies too, it just takes more time — so join the Lab for your first destination, then run it again for more properties or destinations.
  • You're still doing or directing most of the marketing, or have a small team you want trained alongside you
  • Your hospitality and reviews are strong, but your marketing systems are inconsistent
  • You're tired of depending on Airbnb's algorithm, and marketing feels overwhelming or just plain difficult
  • You want to own the marketing system, not rent an agency or an endless membership

Not for you if

  • ×You're a hands-off investor expecting AI to run the business without judgment or oversight
  • ×You want it all done for you
  • ×You're not willing to spend focused implementation time during the cohort

A note on scale

The eight-week build fits best under 30 properties across no more than two destinations. Bigger than that, you can still join, get the Skills, and learn the whole system, just know some of the foundational work will run past the eight-week scope, and my one-to-one program may be the better fit. Either way, you can start with the Lab now. I'd rather you hear the honest math from me than find it in Week 3.

Questions

The honest answers.

Do I need to know Claude? +

No. Week 0 gives you setup, a workspace map, short videos, and a guided workflow. Experienced users can skip the videos and submit the readiness output.

What tools do I need? +

Claude Pro, ~$20/month. Built in Claude Cowork; works with tools you already use for email, websites, SEO, blogging, and marketing. No proprietary Jodi software to buy.

What is an AI agent, and is that what I'm building? +

An agent is AI that takes actions on its own — it decides the next step, uses tools, and keeps going without you prompting every move. What you build in the Lab is a set of trained Skills: your business knowledge plus my hospitality marketing frameworks, packaged so a specialist produces real work on request. Some of it can move into automated workflows later, where your tech stack allows. But autonomy was never the useful part. An untrained agent just makes generic mistakes faster. The training is what makes either one worth having.

Does the team work without me? +

It handles research, planning, drafting, and repeatable work. You approve the strategy, supply current information, and make the final calls. A marketing department, not autopilot.

How much of the work will be fully automated by my team? +

Less than the hype promises, and far more than you are doing now. The hours come back on research, planning, first drafts, and repurposing one strong idea across channels. Where your tech stack allows, approved work can move into repeatable workflows so there are fewer manual steps between idea and publication. What stays with you: approving the strategy, supplying what is current — rates, availability, what is actually happening this weekend — and the final read before anything goes out. I would rather you hear that now than be disappointed in Week 7.

What do I actually own? +

Everything your team produces, permanently. Everything. Your Skills, your foundation documents, and everything your team produces. Permanently, with no membership required to keep any of it. The only thing you can't do is sell or give away the Skills themselves.

How much time does it take? +

Time-intensive: 3–5 hrs/week in the foundation weeks, 2–3 in Weeks 5–8, lighter in 9–12. Hosts say the time was worth it for how much they learned about their own business.

Can I work ahead, or do I have to wait each week for new lessons? +

You can absolutely work ahead. The foundational Skills are available to download and start using immediately. Once your foundations are done you'll have a check-in with me, and I'll open the team member Skills from there — so I know the foundation is ready before the team gets trained on it.

What if I miss a session? +

Everything is recorded, plus Thursday office hours and the community.

Is there a guarantee? +

Not a lock-and-leave refund, because the Lab only delivers when you do the work. My promise: for the first four weeks of the program, do the work, install your Skills, turn in your foundational documents, and if it's still not clicking, you get two private working sessions with me to get your foundation finished.

How is this different from other AI programs or memberships? +

Four weeks of business training, a coordinated strategy, a complete team, direct review from Jodi, and permanent ownership of your outputs. Not a prompt library. Not a new agent every month.

What happens after Week 12? +

The team stays yours. Optional Savvy Host community at $97/month for new Skills, monthly training, hot-seat troubleshooting, AI updates, and continued access to Jodi. You keep everything you built if you leave.

I have more than 30 properties. Can I still do this? +

Yes, with one caveat: the eight-week build fits best under 30 properties in no more than two destinations. Past that, some foundational work runs beyond the cohort, and my one-to-one program may fit better. You can still start with the Lab now.

Will this help me show up in AI search? +

Your content is structured for stronger AI visibility and designed to improve discoverability. No one can guarantee rankings or citations, and as George Strait would tell you, anyone who does is selling you oceanfront property in Arizona.

In eight weeks, you could be running a trained marketing department. Or you could still be arguing with a chat thread.

The only question is whether your marketing sounds like your hospitality, or like everyone else's AI. Be the property guests choose on purpose.

Still not sure it’s right for you?

Then let’s talk it through. Bring your properties, your questions, and whatever you’re stuck on. We can also talk about working together one to one instead. And if the Lab isn’t the right fit for you, I’ll tell you that too.
