Multifamily Collective Podcast
Mike Brewer
My mission is to tease out Human Potential in the Multifamily Space. Multifamily hinges on people, yet we fail to fully unleash their potential. Investing in coaching, training, and leadership unlocks peak performance. Engaged teams provide exceptional service, solve problems creatively, and innovate. A culture of growth attracts/retains top talent seeking purpose and mastery. Embracing development drives occupancy, reduces turnover, and boosts profits. When people thrive, so does business success. Nurture your driven individuals—the path to industry leadership starts there.

1,730 Two Ways to Climb an Oak Tree
Climbing the Oak Tree of Life: Lessons in Growth and Resilience
Hello, everyone! It's Mike, and today we're discussing a metaphor that mirrors our life's journey — climbing an oak tree.
Before we explore the climbing methodologies, let's reflect on the nature of hardwood trees.
These majestic beings, like the towering redwoods on the West Coast, grow slowly and resiliently over centuries, developing solid roots and strong foundations necessary to reach skyward.
This slow growth process is akin to our own development of character, skills, and disciplines.
In this episode, I draw parallels between hardwood trees' gradual and robust growth and our personal development.
Just as an oak doesn’t become sturdy and grand overnight, we too can't expect to instantly develop profound character and skills.
Life is a series of lessons learned through trials, failures, and persistence.
It's about skinning your knees, overcoming hardships, and enduring adversity to forge a self capable of contributing positively to the world around us.
We'll discuss the importance of learning and applying life’s tough lessons to benefit ourselves and others.
It’s about doing the hard work, making tough choices, and consistently choosing the right path, even when it’s not the most exciting or easy.

1,729 What's in Your Calendar
Discover the Power of Gratitude with Your Calendar!
Hey everyone, Mike here!
Today, I'm diving into something we often overlook that deeply impacts our well-being: gratitude and self-care through our calendars.
You might think of your calendar as just a tool for meetings and deadlines, but have you ever considered it a space for personal growth?
Let's explore how scheduling "me-time" can transform our daily lives and boost productivity.
In today’s episode, I challenge you to look at your calendar differently.
Imagine if I could magically drop in and scan through your past month. Would I find any time set aside for you?
It's easy to fill our schedules with tasks supporting others, but it’s crucial to carve out moments for self-reflection, exercise, meditation, or simply doing nothing.
I share my personal morning routine, which I call my "prime time" from 5 to 7 AM—these two hours are sacred and non-negotiable, dedicated solely to nurturing my mind and spirit.
Why not try this for yourself?
Add entries to your calendar that are just for you— whatever feeds your spirit - whether it’s reading, journaling, or taking a midday walk.
Remember, it’s about prioritizing yourself so you can be a more effective and fulfilled individual.

1,728 Become an Action Hero
Welcome back to the Multifamily Collective!
Today, Mike dives into a captivating topic: Identifying with Action Heroes.
It's not just about the fictional characters we see in movies; it’s about recognizing the action hero within ourselves.
Mike challenges you to think about which action hero—be it Superman, the Incredible Hulk, or another—resonates with you and inspires you to take action.
What's the point?
Action heroes inspire us because they represent the power of taking decisive, impactful action.
By embodying the qualities of these heroes in our personal and professional lives, we can become heroes in our own right.
It's about moving, doing, and conquering the challenges before us.
Mike's encouragement: Don’t just admire action heroes—emulate them.
If something is holding you back, like fear or a daunting to-do list, overcome it by taking action.
Mike shares a powerful visual cue from a gentleman with a watch inscribed with "now," reminding us of the importance of acting in the present moment to make things happen.

1,727 Reward Excellent Failure
Welcome back to the Multifamily Collective!
In this episode, Mike asks: What is the price of greatness?
He shares a vital leadership insight: accepting and learning from mistakes is essential to achieving greatness.
Whether you're starting from scratch or aiming for the stars, mistakes are inevitable—and they're valuable.
Key Insight: The journey from zero to one hundred is paved with trials and errors.
Mike emphasizes that every action leads to feedback, which is a crucial learning point, whether positive or negative.
This mindset isn’t just about making errors; it’s about embracing them as stepping stones to success.
Inspiration from Tom Peters: Mike discusses the influence of business guru Tom Peters, highlighting the philosophy of rewarding excellent failures and punishing mediocre successes.
This approach encourages bold, well-reasoned risks that can lead to significant breakthroughs while challenging complacency in safe, uninspired successes.
Leadership Takeaway: Celebrate those who dare to fail spectacularly in pursuit of innovation and scrutinize the comfort of mediocre success. This fosters a culture of courage and creativity, pushing the envelope for your team's achievement in the multifamily and PropTech industries.

1,726 Become a Dealer
Welcome back to the Multifamily Collective!
In today’s episode, Mike introduces a powerful metaphor for leadership: You are a dealer in hope.
As leaders in the multifamily industry, your role extends beyond management amidst economic challenges such as rising interest rates and insurance costs.
You are central in influencing and navigating human emotions.
What does this mean for you?
Being a leader means embedding hope into your team, especially in uncertain times.
Mike highlights the importance of transforming everyday challenges into motivational fuel to inspire your team.
This isn't just about leading; it's about empowering people to achieve more than they thought possible, whether through serving customers, team members, or investors.
Why is this crucial now?
Despite the economic downturns and the current political climate, Mike underscores the vital signs of recovery and growth in the multifamily sector.
Positive trends like rising rents and active buying by major players like Blackstone suggest a thaw in the market, signaling a time to cultivate optimism.

1,725 I Don't Know
Welcome back to the Multifamily Collective!
In today’s episode, Mike embraces the power of humility in leadership with a crucial lesson: The Strength of Saying 'I Don't Know.' Leadership isn’t just about having all the answers—it’s about being honest when you don’t.
Mike shares personal anecdotes from his career, emphasizing that pretending to know when you don’t can lead to far greater setbacks than simply admitting uncertainty.
Why is this important?
In the multifamily and PropTech industries, where innovation and regulations constantly evolve, acknowledging what you don’t know can be the first step towards learning and growth.
Mike encourages leaders to foster environments where honesty is valued over pretense.
Leaders, take note!
This episode is a call to action to embrace vulnerability and commit to genuine learning.
Misinformation can damage credibility—Mike advises that if you’re unsure, it’s better to research and return with a well-informed answer than to risk spreading inaccuracies.
