Hey everyone, this is Johnny and I am back with my co-horse Sam Marks. This is episode seven of the Vest Like a Boss podcast. I'm really excited to share with you this great interview with Sam and his friend, Kevin Shee, who owns the largest self-storage company in Asia. I get super energetic every time I talk to Kevin.

downside, which is amazing. Yeah, I really liked, well, I wanted to do business with Kevin from

the day I met him. And I absolutely fell in love with self-storage

because it's totally opposite of anything that we're used to. I mean, property is something that I

had done a little bit in the past, but self-storage is just such a beautiful concept, right?

It's recession-proof when the market goes to crap. People want to downsize and put things in storage. And even growing up when I was a five-year-old kid, we always had a self-storage unit around town that we would just put all their junk in.
