J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Joe downs, what is the BIGGEST RISK?   Joe Downs To me, it's, I'll give you, I'll give you, all right, you just want the biggest I'm gonna go right to base. To me, it's change. It's sort of what I just alluded to, if we were, if, if we still thought, because we weren't out there interviewing and investigating other third party management companies. If we refuse to do all that and just head in the sand, we would probably start falling behind other storage facilities, other competitors, who are managing their facilities better than we are. And the reason for that is because of technology. And I alluded to that earlier, and so that's just a small example, but to me, the biggest reason is AI. The single biggest reason is of change. The biggest change agent is AI. So if we're not, and you might say, What does aI have to do with storage everything? Because AI has AI can infiltrate if you allow it and choose to. And I highly suggest you do every, every part of your business in life, AI can have an impact on positive or negative. So you have to be, not only aware, you have to be in tune. So I I worry about, if you're asked, what keeps me up at night? It's not, we're well insured from an insurance standpoint, right? You know, I think when you're in commercial real estate, there's always that lender risk of a covenant and loan doc somewhere, you know, whatever. But that doesn't keep me up at night. It's because even then you could, you can negotiate, and you got attorneys to work you out of it. To me, it's falling behind the AI curve. And because that will directly impact how we find customers, how we source deals and pro storage, I'm using it not only to source locations for properties better and faster than we can do on our own. I'm we're creating a GPT right now to market to the businesses, the 17,000 businesses in Greenville, South Carolina, that are within 10 miles of our facility, that's, I don't think we've gone vertical yet. The grounds cleared and and I think they're, they're getting ready for pad sites. Maybe they started pouring. I haven't seen an update in last in a week, but we've got to fill that facility. So how are we going to do that before all the small bay flex guys get get the word out that they're putting that they're available to receive your business? Well, we came up with an ingenious way to create a GPT that's a relocator. So a GPT is just anyone can create them. If you learn how to win on chat, GBT, it's GPT is it stands for generative now I freeze when I put myself in the spot. Now I'm freezing generative performance transformer. No pre trained generative, pre trained transformer. So it's really just an engine. It's the greatest employee that you could ever have, right? It doesn't need to sleep, eat, take breaks, anything. It does what you tell it to do, but that's the key. It does what you tell it to do. If you don't tell it to do, it won't do it. So we have created a GPT that we will put out in front of every business market, to all the businesses out there and say, Hey, if you're say, Hey, if you're looking for space, here is a here's a simple tool that's free. Put in your name of your business, where you are, where you'd like to be, square foot, square footage you need for space in the entire Greenville market area. It will then, because we'll program it, go out, go on, crexie, loop, net, loop, net, everything. It'll find all the space that's available that meets the criteria for Darrin gross to move his ABC, XYZ widget business, because he's got 1000 square feet now, and he needs 2000 or he's got 500 or no square feet, and he needs something, right? It'll return those results for you, and included in it will be our facility with all kinds of unit sizes. So there is an example of how we're using AI, not only source the location, but also source the customers that will fill the location, right? So and that if we, if I was asleep at the wheel with AI, wouldn't have any of that, maybe I'd be successful regardless. I don't know. Maybe, if, maybe the if you build it, they will come. Principle would happen. I don't know, but I'm not willing to risk it. I'm not willing to risk it with my investors money. So the to me, it's, I'm I'm harnessing the power of AI. It is absolutely incredible. It keeps me up at night for good reasons. And I told you before the show, because it's like a drug. It literally, you know the saying, If you dream it, you can make it happen, or wherever that cliche is. This is literally, AI literally makes it happen. It's just up to you to program it. So I'm excited about it, even though you asked me what's what's a risk, the risk is not staying up with not learning it, not immersing yourself in AI, because if you don't I know everything, I just said, sounds cool and and proactive, but if I'm not proactive, someone else will be, and they might be, and I don't care what you're doing, what business you're in, someone who's doing what I doing, I'm doing, is going to have a direct effect on your business, probably to the negative if you don't not only get ahead of the curve, but keep up. So to me, that's the biggest risk. It's kind of that standing still and not evolving. Joe@Belroseam.com https://selfstorageacademy.com/

We welcome actress Erin Murphy, who spent her first eight years of life charming TV watchers as young Tabitha Stephens on Bewitched. Erin takes us behind the scenes at one of television's most beloved classics, sharing vivid memories from a childhood spent witnessing the creation of Hollywood magic.Erin and her fraternal twin sister Diane were originally cast together to share the role of Tabitha, following child labor laws which severely limit the number of hours a toddler can spend working. But, as Erin reveals with a laugh, in the 1960s, rules were “suggestions.” Erin was the twin who took to the craft of acting and she was often brought right back to the set while producers pretended to swap her out. Soon, Erin became the show's singular Tabitha.Erin recalls the delight of working with fantastical props, whimsical effects, and a cast she adored. A natural performer, she memorized not only her own lines but everyone else's, and she truly cherishes her time on the set. Erin and Diane were treated with kindness and respect and were even given Donna Reed's former dressing room where the amenities of home gave them space for play and nap time. Erin's success on Bewitched soon led to appearances on other iconic shows, including Lassie.Erin is coming with “two Darrins” insights. She worked with Dick York and Dick Sargent for three years each and she  shares a touching story about reconnecting with the original Darrin, Dick York, years later through the Kevin and Bean morning radio show. She weighs in on whether Bewitched can be read as a metaphor for being different or even being closeted and she opines on why the show still resonates today as a fun, campy, nostalgic, yet surprisingly modern-feeling classic.Erin also recalls the many rising stars who made early Bewitched appearances and she shares thoughts on why she never truly  connected with Paul Lynde. She reflects on a groundbreaking episode, written by high-school students, that confronted racism. The story involves Tabitha and her best friend Lisa who is black. When told by an adult that they  could never be sisters, Tabitha uses witchcraft to turn them both polka dotted. Erin identifies this as Elizabeth Montgomery's favorite episode.After her early TV career, Erin enjoyed a normal childhood in Orange County before returning to the entertainment world as a host and reality-show participant in projects like Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Wrestling and RuPaul's Drag U. She went on to raise six children, including a son with autism, and has devoted herself to community service and volunteerism. Erin even launched her own alpaca farm, and turned it into a thriving business selling knit goods! This TV icon is as endearing as she is inspiring and Erin's Hollywood and beyond journey is a testament to her grace, charm and character.In current media --Weezy: One Shot With Ed Sheeran on NetflixFritz: The American Revolution from Ken BurnsPath Points of Interest:Erin Murphy on FacebookErin Murphy on InstagramErin Murphy on WikipediaErin Murphy on IMDBOne Shot With Ed Sheeran on NetflixThe American Revolution - PBS

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here Brand loyalty at Nissan isn't earned during a sale. It's earned later, when a driver needs a repair, and the part they need is already there. That moment shapes Darrin Lucas's work. He leads after-sales supply chain operations across the Americas, making sure vehicles stay in service instead of sitting in a bay waiting for parts.His team manages warranty support, service parts, and dealer inventory with one goal in mind: a repair should feel routine to the customer. The planning beneath it, however, is anything but routine. Instead of reacting to dealer requests, they work ahead of demand and stock items based on what they expect will be needed weeks from now.To make those decisions earlier and with more accuracy, Nissan is moving past traditional forecasting habits. The company utilizes AI-driven predictions, real-time performance dashboards, and automation in its distribution centers to prepare the correct parts before customers arrive for service. With better insight comes a different kind of supply chain partnership. Suppliers aren't just shipping parts; they're sharing data, adapting quickly, and helping Nissan support both production and service without sacrificing one for the other.Dealers are also part of the strategy. Darrin talks about advisory boards where dealers give feedback, test ideas, and influence how inventory gets planned. This helps Nissan prevent shortages before they occur, and it provides a clearer picture of what customers are actually experiencing in service bays, not just what spreadsheets predict.Darrin's own career mirrors the way Nissan wants the organization to work. He joined Nissan as a packaging engineer and moved into logistics, quality, and operations because leaders encouraged him to learn beyond his role. That gave him the perspective he uses today. Now, he leads by giving his team the same space to grow, allowing people to learn, think independently, and solve problems without being controlled by every metric. When people understand the business, the KPIs follow.Nissan views after-sales as an ongoing promise to customers who have already chosen the brand. It isn't a backup to manufacturing or a response to breakdowns. It's part of the relationship that continues long after the car leaves the showroom, earning loyalty through every mile the vehicle stays on the road.Themes discussed in this episode:How stocking service parts weeks in advance prevents vehicles from sitting idle at the dealershipThe shift from outdated forecasting methods to AI-driven demand planning in automotive after-salesHow automation in distribution centers speeds up service part delivery and reduces wait timesWhy suppliers must support both production and after-sales to meet customer repair expectationsThe increasing demand for OEM parts through e-commerce and how it disrupts traditional delivery modelsHow proactive parts planning turns after-sales into a strategic advantage instead of a reaction to breakdownsThe value of cross-functional experience in building leaders who understand the entire parts lifecycleThe responsibility of after-sales supply chain teams to maintain customer confidence after the saleFeatured on this episode:Name: Darrin LucasTitle: Director, Aftersales Supply Chain Operations Americas at Nissan North AmericaAbout: Darrin is the Director of Aftersales Supply Chain Operations for the

Jochum, founder and CEO of CJ Leadership Solutions, LLC, Professor and Chair of Teacher Education at Fort Hays State University, and a nationally recognized speaker, trainer, coach, and author.The episode opens with a reflection on the “tap on the shoulder” moment many leaders experience — the first time someone sees leadership potential in them. Darrin connects this to research showing that 95% of students and 90% of teachers equate leadership with a title, highlighting why the work of developing teacher leaders is so critical.Chris and Darrin explore the unique intersection of K–12 and higher education, including what Chris has learned as he transitioned into leading one of the largest teacher preparation programs in the country. He highlights the people, the culture, and the innovative mindset that make Fort Hays State a standout institution at a time when many university teacher prep programs are shrinking.The conversation then pivots to Chris's new book, You Don't Have to Leave to Lead: A Practical Guide to Teacher Leadership — a culmination of years of teaching, research, and on-the-ground leadership development.

In this solo episode, Dr. Darrin Peppard dives deep into one of the hardest challenges leaders face — guiding their teams through circumstances completely outside their control. From district-wide budget cuts to post-COVID uncertainty, Darrin explores how leaders can help their teams release what they can't control and regain focus, trust, and agency around what they can.Drawing on a real coaching conversation and a personal story from his time as a superintendent, Darrin outlines how acknowledging loss, re-centering on purpose, and empowering staff voice can rebuild trust and momentum during difficult times. You'll walk away with practical tools you can use in your next leadership meeting — including a powerful exercise to help your team “throw away” the things they can't control and reclaim focus on what truly matters.In this episode:The emotional toll leaders and teams experience during crisesHow to help your people let go of what's beyond their controlA real-world example from a post-COVID leadership retreatThree concrete leadership actions to rebuild trust and focusA simple reflection question to guide your next team meetingLeaders can't fix everything — but they can bring calm, clarity, and courage to those they serve.

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you Bill Kanatas and Ben Salzberg, what is the BIGGEST RISK?   Bill Kanatas I look at two different risks, one as an investor slash investment, and one is a developer slash development. Um, so if we're talking about the development aspect first, because, as I mentioned earlier, Ben and I spend our money up front first, before we go to the investors looking for their money, we do a lot of work upfront to mitigate that risk, and in any development, nothing ever goes perfect, as much as we think it's going to be great. It's not going to rain tomorrow. We're going to have sunshine for three weeks, and the bulldozers will be out there, and all sudden, we get rain for three weeks, and the holes we just dug flood, right? So you gotta be able to have that in your underwriting. Right? So when I tell somebody it's going to be 10 to 12 months, you know, I underwrite it 14 months, in case we have an additional four months of interest reserve or operational losses. So we try to mitigate all that risk upfront. When you're looking as an investor, slash investment. Then, you know, the advice I always give to my own friends is look at the first let's start with the development team, right? Do they know how to develop you know, whatever it is, is it a Starbucks? Is it self storage? Is it car washes? Make sure you're right with the right development team, or make sure they have experience, obviously. Make sure that you believe in the area. You know. Is there a reason to put one in Bosie, Idaho, or is there one to put it one in Manhattan, you know? Is there a demand for self storage? And then who's operating it? Is it the Bill and Ben show? Or is it, you know, an operator who knows what they're doing? Is it the first time they're operating? Or do they have, you know, billions of dollars of annual revenue in this space? So I think there's various checklists to kind of mitigate that risk. And then at some point you gotta say, I'm all in and and dive in and know that if there is any problems, your partners will communicate that with you, right? Because it's very, very important to always have communication, you know, with your lender, with your investor, with your general contractor, with the village. You know, Benz, an elected official. And when you're working with the communities, you have to perform. You can't tell them one thing and do something else, right? So communication for me is always the best,   Ben Salzberg And then I agree with you on that bill, you know, making sure the constituents in the area, which are mine and that they're they like what we're building and developing in the community, and to mitigate that risk of any type of Fallout, of people being frustrated, being built self storage in the neighborhood, um, you know, that's that, that risk. And of course, then there's, you know, you want to make sure that the job is insured in case somebody gets hurt, you know. And that goes with you Darrin, you know, you have to, you know, PNC, make sure that it's everybody's covered.   https://self-storagedevelopers.com/
