Adam brings 25 years of Wall Street experience to the table, providing a sophisticated look at why self-storage remains the &quot;best way to make money owning real estate&quot;. We explore Adam\u2019s journey from underwriting CMBS loans in the 90s to navigating the turmoil of the Great Financial Crisis at JPMorgan . Adam shares how his time on the rugby pitch at BU informed his &quot;Just Win Baby&quot; approach to deal-making and why he believes the current industry pricing model is due for a major &quot;rationalization&quot;. Key Takeaways from this Episode:  The CapEx Advantage: A deep dive into why storage turnover costs are virtually zero compared to the massive &quot;tenant improvements&quot; required in office or retail .  The Yoda Mindset: Why a great advisor (and principal) focuses on setting up their clients and investors to be the &quot;Luke Skywalker&quot; of the story .  Automation as an ROI Driver: How the pricing of modern PropTech allows operators to transition to remotely managed models with extremely high returns on investment .  Economic Prognostication: Adam explains why he is anticipating a period of low inflation and higher wage growth as we move further into 2026 .  Strategic Acquisitions: Why Next Century focuses on the &quot;East of the Mississippi plus Texas&quot; corridor for its portfolio construction .  Whether you are a seasoned institutional investor or a &quot;mom and pop&quot; owner looking to understand the future of automated operations, Adam\u2019s blend of Wall Street expertise and &quot;front-row&quot; grit is essential listening.
