TexkyleTips to apply to my businessAJ’s team give great information that I can apply to my own business, about deals, valuing acquisitions, improving operations. #286 was good info - bring on Sam Whitaker. Let him make a Youtube video where he shows how he built these AI agents that are so powerful for the business.

Nic DawsonPure goldI stumbled upon AJ and Connor on YouTube and really enjoyed their video. I since then subscribe to their podcast and bought AJ’s new book. It’s amazing the type of information they share this is an excellent toolbox for investors of any type. I don’t know anything about investing, but they talk about it in terms that even I can understand. Another factor that they got right and a lot of people underestimate, is that they speak clearly, at a good pace and the audio is clear. This is one of the few podcasts that is good whether the hosts are together or individual. Both AJ and Connor bring excellent insight into this niche.

tcoffee0Thank you AJ and teamWhat an incredible resource. Each episode is packed with rich insider knowledge in the form of casual, authentic conversations with real world operators. AJ helps break the conversation down so beginners can absorb lessons learned by himself and his guests. What I love just as much is how authentic, positive, and down to earth AJ is. Nothing beats the combination of learning while being inspired. Just pick an episode, perhaps the most recent, and give it a shot.

DrewsakBuilding a Storage Business from ScratchI’m sure there is great content on this podcast by looking at all the reviews. However, after listening to episode 200 “ Building a Storage Business from Scratch” I was disappointed. The hosts talked about a lot but I didn’t hear much (if anything at all) during the hour and a half episode about building a storage business from scratch. Will keep trying.

themusclebikerObsessed!Stumbled on this podcast via YouTube. Already listened to a dozen in the first week. To say I’m obsessed is an understatement. AJ you are acres of diamonds as Russell Conwell would say. So much knowledge and I’m learning rapidly. I’m already in multi family and knowing/hearing that others have jumped right into commercial without having to go from a duplex to fourplex etc with leveraging into commercial via seller finance it gets me so excited. AJ has sold me on the idea of self storage and getting into it sooner than I had anticipated with my long term goals. Thank you so much! I truly appreciate what you’re sharing and spreading here.
