In today’s episode of the Multifamily Collective, Mike explores the high-stakes race to structure data for AI. As he highlights, the saying “whoever wins data, wins AI” rings true.

Mike discusses how superintelligent AI systems are enabling this shift, turning chaos into clarity. These tools are driving efficiency, flattening traditional organizational hierarchies, and bringing decision-making closer to execution. The ripple effects are enormous. Corporate and site-level roles will evolve, requiring upskilling and reskilling as organizations prepare for this wave of technological transformation.

Ever feel like your back's against the wall in multifamily operations? H Here's why that moment of constraint might be the best thing for your creativity. In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, Mike unpacks a truth as old as time: necessity breeds creativity. When systems break down, adversity hits, or constraints press in, our brains are wired to respond with creative problem-solving. Mike explains how the amygdala, our ancient "fight or flight" response center, still kicks into gear today—not for saber-toothed tigers, but for operational challenges in multifamily. These moments, while stressful, are opportunities to pause, breathe, and let your mind find innovative solutions. And if creativity doesn't strike immediately? Mike emphasizes the wisdom in reaching out. Call a mentor, colleague, or supervisor—heck, even Mike himself. Collaboration isn't a sign of weakness; it's the fuel that keeps the multifamily engine running. If this resonated with you, hit that like button and subscribe to stay inspired.

Did you know that most people are just "winging it"? That includes the folks you think have it all figured out. Today, let's reframe your view of confidence and courage. In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, we’re unpacking a powerful yet simple truth about confidence: we tend to underestimate ourselves while overestimating others. That tendency creates an unnecessary barrier between you and your potential. Here’s the deal—most people aren’t operating from some endless well of expertise or experience. They’re responding to life’s challenges and opportunities the same way you do: by using what’s innate in them or reacting to what’s in front of them. Your reservoir of skills, ideas, and resourcefulness is likely deeper than you think, and it’s time to stop undervaluing it. The key is to step into moments of opportunity with courage. Whether you’re solving a business challenge or enriching a personal relationship, your voice and ideas matter. When you hold back, you cheat yourself—and others—of the impact your unique perspective could bring. You are capable. You are enough. The only thing left to do is trust yourself and speak up.
