One of the common denominators between the successful guests we’ve had on this show is their ability to systematize, streamline, and scale their business to increase their revenue. But building a team and processes that allow you to do that can be daunting. Hiring an Executive Assistant and/or Chief Operating Officer, or COO, can help accelerate your growth, but paying a full-time salary is out of the question for many investors and business owners. Today we’re going to discuss Executive Assistants and COOs, what they do, how they can help you, and how finding one might be easier than you think. My guest is Matt Viebrock, founder of Let’s Grow COO, who helps real estate entrepreneurs streamline and scale their businesses to make more net profit.

Brian Hamrick here with a special episode for you today that hits very close to home. I'm joined by Alex Jarbo, who is my partner in a vacation rental resort property located in Asheville, NC. As many of you are aware, one month ago Asheville was hit by Hurricane Helene and much of the surrounding areas were devastated by wind and thousand year flooding. Luckily for our property and guests, we sustained zero damage. But our Engadine Inn & Cabins property has since become 'ground zero' for much of the rescue, recovery, and rebuilding effort over the past 30 days and the foreseeable future. Alex will be sharing his on-the-ground experience hosting and working with Aerial Recovery Group, and the positive impact they've had on the Asheville community, and how you can help as well.
