Send us a textHey Gang!⠀Coming back to you with another wonderful guest appearance on The Real Estate Syndication Show with host Whitney Sewell.⠀⠀⠀On this second guest appearance, we discuss learning the hard way by making some hiring mistakes and how they can be remedied by applying lessons from the book Traction by Gino Wickman. I shed light on a time when I had to let 40% of my team go by putting in place principles from the book, and the subsequent pivots they made from there. One of the overarching pieces in the recruitment process is the importance of getting clear on core values. Whitney and I  discuss this, and how having this facet rock solid has lead to a stable hiring process. While all of this is important, giving back is always at the top of my core values and those of my team, we get into this as well. So be sure to tune in today!I would like thank, Whitney and his team again for having me on the show!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀For more episodes from Life Bridge Capital with host Whitney Sewell please visit:https://lifebridgecapital.com/podcast/Helping People Become Financially Independent Without The Hassles of Tenants, Toilets, and Trash with Self Storage Investing!Website: https://www.selfstorageinvesting.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/selfstorageinvestingTwitter: https://twitter.com/SelfStorageGuyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottameyers/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SelfStorageInvestingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/self_storage_investing/

Send us a textHey Gang!⠀⠀⠀⠀I have been keeping this secret from you and now…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I am pleased to announce the show is NOW LIVE to thousands of listeners from around the globe tuning in to The Real Estate Syndication Show With Whitney Sewell!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣I was on The Real Estate Syndication Show with host Whitney Sewell and and we discussed my journey “From Multifamily Success to Self-Storage Success.” Investing in self-storage facilities is a lucrative venture for real estate investors looking to diversify their portfolio into multiple asset classes. As you know my company, Kingdom Storage Holdings, have acquired, developed, and converted over 200,000 square feet and over 13,000 units in the self-storage space, with over 160 million dollars in assets under management nationwide.⠀I also founded selfstorageinvesting.com, the nation’s leading education company that teaches people how to find, evaluate, finance, and manage self-storage facilities through his online seminars, coaching, mastermind, and podcast. 10% of my company’s profits is dedicated toward building houses in Mexico and taking my staff, partners, students, friends, and family on these all-expense-paid mission trips to experience the benefits of short-term mission trips. In this episode, Whitney has me explain why I made the shift from multifamily to self-storage, and why it is a solid, stable, and predictable business model. ⠀⠀⠀⠀If you’re curious to know why self-storage is a solid, stable, and predictable business model, be sure to check out this episode!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I would like thank, Whitney and his team again for having me on the show!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀For more episodes from Life Bridge Capital with host Whitney Sewell please visit:https://lifebridgecapital.com/podcast/⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Send us a text#PlatformForChange SeriesHello everyone and welcome back to The Self Storage Podcast, i'm your host Scott Meyers.Welcome back to another Self Storage Investing Podcast episode and a #PlatformForChange segment. My team and I have come up with the #PlatformForChange segments by inspiration of the #ShareTheMicNow campaign, that took place in early June10 2020 across instagram. Simply put, these segments came together by way of collaboration with my team members who are able to educate me, as I do millions on the topics related self-storage investing, on understanding the lens of the Black community in their everyday experience.Self Storage Investing is a business that has grown through education, understanding and partnership with a diverse array of wonderful individuals combined. These podcasts segments will be a way to continue the conversations that are necessary even at the self-storage investing level as our way of saying "the lens and understanding need to become a shared experience in order to be the change we want to see."My guest of this episodes segment is my good friend Donnell Stidhum. Donnell is an Engineer (EE), Leader as well as an Educator who has been a real estate investor for over 20 years investing in all facets of the industry (single-family, multi-family, commercial and industrial properties). Donnell's goal is to assist clients/investors in their quest for financial freedom and creating generational wealth through one on one consultation and an abundance of online tools to educate. For the past 5 years he has been a private pension plan consultant with Self Directed Retirement Plans working directly with his partner Rick Pendykoski.Through the years, Donnell has travelled across the United States speaking to tens of thousands of people at a vast amount of REI and general investment groups. He has personally supported thousands of clients with self-directing their retirement accounts. As a result, they have achieved true investing freedom to invest in what they want, when they want with 100% check-book control."Taking what seems complicated and simplifying it for clients is a strength for me. Mainly because what we teach are not complicated strategies, they are just simply non-traditional. Common question: Why didn’t my financial advisor tell me about this? Most of the conversations I have with new clients are around the shock and awe of what was assumed to be a challenge versus the actual simplified steps to success. I am a collaborative, out of the box investor who challenges traditional norms and thought processes.
