We are thrilled to welcome Matt Johnson, Director of Strategic Partnerships with Peek. Matt Johnson enjoyed a fascinating journey to his current work from professional basketball to being part of the WeWork whirlwind. Some of the highlights of this episode include:

Business, leadership, and the unique characteristics of a visionary founder.
The crossover of being a DJ and music lover to its related practical application in giving people an experience beyond what they imagined. (Hit Matt up for some of his playlists.) If you haven’t seen it before, this Peek music video was written and performed by Helen Revell with support from Matt. It is well worth a watch!
The value of Trust and its importance in developing B2B and person-to-person relationships.
The relative benefit of using ChatGPT to create content. It is important to produce trustworthy content whether or not you use ChatGPT or something similar to increase production.
The rapid evolution of leasing towards a hands-off technology-supported experience.

Paul Bergeron | Collective Conversations

What a thrill to welcome Paul Bergeron back in this Collective Conversations episode. Paul is a Content Strategist, Business Reporter, and a sought-after Thought Leader in the Multifamily and CRE space. Some highlights from this episode include:

An article from Business Insider: “It’s not just you. LinkedIn has gotten really weird” about the transition from a business/professional platform to include more social posts. Paul shared his strategy of trying to be informative, unique and funny when he posts and seeing the value of getting to know people beyond their business accomplishments and the increased opportunities for networking.
Takeaways from the CREW Conference including property type designations, market definitions, and the future of the office space. The new Blueprint Conference in Las Vegas and the upcoming OpTech Conference which is scheduled to have a session on using AI in maintenance.
Paul’s love of art and twice-failed attempts to meet Jackie Soffer, Chairman and CEO of Turnberry and fellow art fiend. If you’re listening Jackie – give Paul a ring.
The Dom Beveridge 20for20 white paper co-authored by Donald Davidoff and Jeffrey Roper about revenue management and how the multifamily industry is far from a cartel.
The BH spirit week – BH is the 6^th best place to work in real estate and the #1 management company. From playlists to taking a walk – even remote departments found ways to connect during this special celebratory anniversary week.
Taylor Swift and the NFL: Did Paul predict this disruption/relationship? Also, Paul tells the story of when he casually went to church with Taylor about ten years ago.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor, property manager, vendor/supplier, or someone interested in learning more about the multifamily market, this series offers valuable insights that can help you navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities in this dynamic industry.

In this episode of Collective Conversations, Mike Brewer fueled up with two cups of fresh French press for this chat with multifamily powerhouse Lisa Russell. Lisa is a 36-year veteran of the property management industry and is a sought-after Consultant and Speaker and sits on the Prop Tech Advisory Board. This long-form interview covers a broad range of topics with just a few key highlights below.

Key Discussion Points:

AI in Multifamily: The move from traditional prop tech to AI was slow at first and is not moving at the speed of light. Despite many common fears, AI will not immediately remove the need for people in our industry. It is however important for people to constantly seek to better understand AI to create future opportunities for themselves. It is also critical for leaders to upskill and reskill their workforce for the changing needs of our industry.
Fraud Protection: Where fraud was once seen as a one-off occurrence, it has now moved into a more syndicated affront to the industry. It is important to look for the holes in your systems and take a multifaceted view of all your qualifying criteria. No one system can effectively eliminate fraud. The risk lies in the higher percentage of renters who accessed the property via fraudulent means, is the percentage of occupancy you can lose overnight. They don’t care about credit or rental history or any of it because the application documents were fraudulent to start with. The most important operational indicator for fraud is the number of skips. They should be labeled as skips and the trend tells the story of what is broken in your qualifying systems.
Leadership: Lisa and Mike dive deep into the self-appraisal and honesty required to be in a leadership position. This part of the conversation is raw, candid, and moving. If you are in a leadership position or are working towards growing your leadership skills, don’t skip past the conversation on leadership.
