What a thrill to welcome Paul Bergeron back in this Collective Conversations episode.

Paul is a Content Strategist, Business Reporter, and a sought-after Thought Leader in the Multifamily and CRE space. Some highlights from this episode include: 1. An article from Business Insider: “It’s not just you. LinkedIn has gotten weird” about the transition from a business/professional platform to include more social posts. Paul shared his strategy of trying to be informative, unique, and funny when he posts and seeing the value of getting to know people beyond their business accomplishments, plus the increased opportunities for networking.

2. Takeaways from the CREW Conference, including property type designations, market definitions, and the future of the office space. The new Blueprint Conference in Las Vegas and the upcoming OpTech Conference which is scheduled to have a session on using AI in maintenance.

3. Paul’s love of art and twice-failed attempts to meet Jackie Soffer, Chairman and CEO of Turnberry and fellow art fiend. If you’re listening, Jackie – give Paul a ring.

4. The Dom Beveridge 20for20 white paper co-authored by Donald Davidoff and Jeffrey Roper about revenue management and how the multifamily industry is far from a cartel. (See the recent Dom Beveridge episode for more details)

5. BH Spirit Week – BH is ranked the 6th best place to work in real estate and the #1 management company. From playlists to taking a walk – even remote departments found ways to connect during this special celebratory anniversary week.

6. Taylor Swift and the NFL: Did Paul predict this disruption/relationship? Also, Paul tells the story of when he casually went to church with Taylor about ten years ago.
