Summary
In today’s episode, AJ and Conner discuss the evolution of Self Storage through years. When we got started, the market was drastically different. Whether you’re a first-time investor, or you’re a part of one of the largest private equity firms in the world - everyone is subject to the same fundamental concepts.
Operations, management, expansions - and it doesn’t stop there. That’s why AJ wrote his first book on Self Storage, and is about to publish his second.

You may have heard the term “Ecosystem of Companies” before. An interconnected series of companies that solve very specific problems within the Self Storage Industry. AJ built these companies through years of learning things “the hard way.” Now, what problems do they solve? And how can you apply it to your Self Storage Investing?
