Ryan shares his fascinating journey from the airline industry to managing a self-storage empire valued at over $800 million.  The two discuss how speed, adaptability, and vertical integration are the engines behind Spartan's exponential growth, and why partnering with REITs (rather than competing with them) is a game-changing move.  They dig into how current market dynamics—from inflation to sluggish home sales—are reshaping investment strategies, and why a flat market isn't necessarily a bad thing.  Watch For2:24 Why Speed Is the New Currency in Storage3:28 Vertical Integration Meets Strategic Agility8:46 The REIT Pivot: Strategy or Survival?13:56 The Built-In REIT Exit Strategy19:13 How REITs Use Third-Party Management as an Acquisition Funnel21:03 Building REIT-Ready Properties for Premium Exits22:56 Are REIT-Managed Deals Lower Return? 32:51 Where Spartan Is Buying Now: Growth Markets with No Pipeline  Leave a positive rating for this podcast with one click Connect with Guest: Ryan GibsonWebsite | LinkedIn CONNECT WITH USWebsite | You Tube | Facebook | X | LinkedIn | Instagram Follow so you never miss a NEW episode!

If you've been watching the financial markets lately, you know that volatility is the name of the game. Prices rise, they fall, and it can feel like you're riding a rollercoaster at times. But here's the good news: Volatility doesn't always have to be a bad thing. In fact, with the right strategy, market downturns and fluctuations can present incredible opportunities for savvy investors.Welcome to The Retirement Fix, a podcast offering strategies for less stress and more success in your go-go retirement years. I'm your host, John Gigliello, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ with the Albany Financial Group and I'm here to be your guide to keeping more of your hard-earned money by making smart financial decisions in retirement. This podcast is for people nearing or in retirement who want to learn more about proactive tax planning, retirement income planning, social security timing, investment management and asset protection.  After a life-altering health issue at age 39, my calling in life became clear: To share my knowledge of personal finance with people who are looking to make smart and responsible choices with their money. You can find out more about the services I offer as well as all my contact information on my website: www.jgigliello.com. For any questions, feel free to contact me at jgigliello@albanyfinancial.com.In today's episode, we're diving into a timely topic: How to turn stock market volatility into opportunity. I'm going to share 7 ways you can potentially take advantage of a market downturn and make volatility work in your favor. While I want to touch on all 7 points, we will spend most of this episode talking about tax-loss harvesting - a common strategy that may help you save money by lowering your tax bill. Since this strategy can offset ordinary income, taxpayers in high tax brackets and high-tax states may benefit most.Before I get into the details on the 7 strategies, I want to emphasize that I never encourage clients to try to “time the market,” but rather I urge most investors to stick with the long-term financial plan that we have designed to pursue their individual goals. Market volatility is built into each client's financial plan because we know it's going to happen. But we rarely know when.And even when taking advantage of market downturns in the ways that I am about to explain, it is crucial to not lose sight of the overall plan.

The US economy has shrunk for the first time in three years, coinciding with President Trump's first months back in office. Mr Trump has blamed Joe Biden and insisted the fall has nothing to do with tariffs. Also: Ukraine says it is ready to sign a mineral and energy deal with the US. And King Charles has described living with cancer as a "daunting and at times frightening experience."

In this week's roundup, Merryn Somerset Webb, speaks with Money Distilled newsletter author John Stepek about why the Nvidia share price is a magic number, falling UK mortgage rates, buying the dip and covid-level shortages caused by tariffs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textThis is a FEED DROP of an episode of the Commercial Real Estate Investing From A-Z  Podcast that Scott was a guest on. How is self-storage doing today? What are the benefits of joining a mastermind? Scott Meyers, founder and CEO of Self Storage Investing , shares his knowledge with us.Read this entire interview here: https://tinyurl.com/rt4pvac2You have been doing self-storage for 20 years, how is self-storage doing today?We're bullish on storage. It doesn't matter what the economy's doing, because our asset classes are largely unaffected by what's happening when things are good, people buy more stuff and there's a need for storage so we do well. When there's a contraction in the economy and people are losing their jobs or businesses, it is going a little slower. They have to put their inventory in storage, or they sublease their office or whatever their business looks like and we benefit from that, as well. We are heading into a time that we've been preparing for years, which is kind of the intersection of all that. Interest rates are a little higher and the cost of capital is higher but we are seeing a contraction in the market, which is causing people to downsize businesses.I heard this morning that in Austin, Texas 20% of the workforce is unemployed right now. Some of these companies are laying their people off. But there is a pullback right now, and the jobless rate is a little higher than even what the government statistics would show because we're seeing it and feeling it in the marketplace.Do you think self-storage is being overbuilt in places?You can't say that the industry is overbuilt. If everybody's rates all across the country, were going down and everybody was at 50% occupancy, maybe, but I don't think that we would ever get to that standpoint. There are lots of safeguards in our industry and we do know what it takes to do our homework and understand as developers, what makes this successful self-storage development project. With today's very difficult capital markets: appraisers, lenders, and private equity partners, they are not just throwing money at us, assuming it's going to win, they are forcing and they want to see our feasibility studies and the demand studies that we're doing in the marketplace to understand what a deal looks like before they're going to grant us a loan or loan us our limited partners that are going to come alongside of us or the hedge funds and invest with us. We shouldn't be coming forward if we didn't have that, and we really wouldn't get it anyway.What are some things that you have seen happen at your mastermind?A lot of the things that we've seen are things that we've built in an environment in which all the good things that we see in a mastermind can occur and some of that is true. As we take a step back, we recognize that following the Napoleon Hills model, which is when like-minded people come together and operate at a certain level, good things happen. They share best business practices, they can do business together and so from the beginning, that's the way we designed it. And we see other masterminds out there where they'll just accept anybody into the group, as long as they can write a check. We have an interview process, and it's an exclusive group that we've put into place in the mastermind.Scott Meyerswww.selfstorageinvesting.com

When economic and market turbulence strikes without warning, SaaS founders and marketers naturally start to wonder... should we cut marketing budget, pivot our message, or hold the line? In Episode 83 of B2B SaaS Marketing Snacks, co-hosts Brian Graf and Stijn Hendrikse explore how B2B SaaS companies can not only survive but thrive when the economy takes a dip. You'll hear why maintaining focus on customer value is more important than ever, and how to avoid knee-jerk reactions that can hurt long-term growth. Here's what you'll learn:Why value beats panic pricing: How to double down on real customer value and practice value-based pricing instead of slashing prices or entering a race to the bottom, ensuring your offering remains essential even as budgets tighten.Adapting your ICP and personas: How to re-evaluate your Ideal Customer Profile in a downturn – identifying which segments of your market still have budget or greater need for your solution – and adjusting your buyer personas (e.g. addressing newly empowered CFOs) to align with shifting priorities.Retention and expansion first: Why it's crucial to prioritize customer retention and expansion over pure new customer acquisition during a recession. Learn ways to strengthen customer success, keep your existing clients happy, and grow revenue from your install base so you protect your ARR.Smart budget optimization: Guidance on trimming the fat in your marketing spend without killing your growth engine. Discover how to audit your channels and CAC, cut the underperforming tactics, and double down on the efficient strategies so your go-to-market stays lean and effective.Flexible pricing & “survivor” offers: Creative strategies to help customers stay on board. This includes shifting to usage-based or monthly pricing options, offering more flexible payment terms, or even introducing a limited-time “survivor package” – a pared-down, high-ROI product tier designed to prevent churn and attract budget-conscious buyers from less flexible competitors.Pivoting your content strategy: How to tweak your marketing messaging and content in tough times. Our hosts share why thought leadership alone isn't enough in a downturn – and how creating practical “survival” guides, checklists, and playbooks for your audience can build trust and relevance. (Spoiler alert... help your champions justify your product internally by focusing on immediate execution and ROI, not just big ideas.)Rather than resorting to fear-driven cuts, you'll learn how to strategically adjust your approach – protecting the customer base you've worked hard to build and seizing opportunities that competitors might miss. Brian and Stijn's advice will help you keep your growth engine running strong (even on a leaner budget), align your product and messaging with what customers need right now, and ultimately come out of the downturn with a healthier, more focused business. B2B SaaS Marketing Snacks is one of the most respected voices in the SaaS industry.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Matt Weinschenk back to the show. Matt is the director of research at Stansberry Research. He's also the editor of the free weekly newsletter This Week on Wall Street and a member of the investment committee for Stansberry Portfolio Solutions. Matt kicks things off by describing what he does at Stansberry Research and what type of investor he is. Because his career began right before the great financial crisis, he says he tends to lean more conservative. This leads to a discussion about controlling risk, preparing for market surprises, and needing to "get slapped in the face a few times" to understand the stakes. After, Matt gives his nuanced take on crypto – from its use for diversification to the "scam" meme coins. (1:39) Next, Matt weighs in on artificial intelligence ("AI") and the huge amounts of capital flowing into the sector. He explains that there are safer ways to invest in AI than buying the headline-making names, using Nvidia versus Cisco Systems as an example. And he points out that even if AI is currently experiencing a bubble, the technology will both benefit the economy and make companies more productive in the long term. (21:40) Finally, Matt goes in depth on the current macroeconomic environment and his outlook for the future. This includes President Donald Trump's tariffs disrupting specific industries, what the VIX and high-yield credit spread are signaling, fears of a recession, and the bond market expecting a growth slowdown. (37:46)
