Fetch Package Delivery has revolutionized apartment package management through an innovative off-site warehouse model, serving over 400,000 units and approaching $70 million in ARR. In this episode, we sat down with Michael Patton, Founder & CEO of Fetch, to explore how he built a logistics-heavy business that bridges the gap between traditional property management and modern e-commerce demands. Michael's journey from corporate finance to PropTech pioneer offers unique insights into scaling physical service businesses in markets that weren't traditionally venture-backable. Topics Discussed: Fetch's origin as a solution to apartment building package management problems The company's evolution from bootstrapped Dallas startup to national platform Building MVP in logistics-heavy businesses versus traditional SaaS Early customer acquisition strategies in relationship-driven industries Navigating the PropTech market before it became mainstream Scaling operations while maintaining service quality during hypergrowth Expanding from core package delivery to adjacent services GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Master relationship-based selling in traditional industries: Michael succeeded in the apartment industry through personal relationship building rather than digital marketing funnels. He spent months visiting properties, forming relationships with regional managers, and even secured his first customer through a handwritten card campaign that resonated with a VP who loved dog rescue. B2B founders entering traditional industries should prioritize face-to-face relationship building and understand that decision-makers often value personal connections over polished presentations. Take calculated risks to capture market timing: Fetch grew from $1M to $40M ARR in just 18 months during 2019-2021, despite not being fully operationally ready for that scale. Michael explains: "The thing that we did right was take advantage of really intense market demand when it came, even though we weren't always quite ready for it." Founders should be prepared to scale aggressively when market conditions align, even if it means accumulating technical debt or operational challenges that can be addressed later. Physical service businesses require different MVP strategies: Unlike SaaS companies that can iterate with software alone, Fetch's MVP required Michael to personally deliver packages for 18 months while building operational knowledge. This hands-on approach provided invaluable insights: "It was so valuable looking back, to be able to see every side of the business and literally four or five, six hours a day, be the last mile delivery partner." Founders building physical service businesses should expect to be deeply involved in operations during early stages to understand every aspect of their value chain. Hire ahead of immediate needs during growth phases: During Fetch's hypergrowth period, Michael deliberately over-hired on skill level, bringing in leaders who were arguably overqualified for immediate needs but would be essential as the company scaled. This strategy of "trusting leaders and bringing in the right people to lead some of the most critical ops" allowed them to maintain quality during rapid expansion. Founders should consider investing in talent that can grow into roles rather than just filling current gaps. Build platform infrastructure for adjacent service expansion: Fetch's long-term strategy always focused on establishing the "rails" between warehouses and buildings, then adding services that utilize existing trips and infrastructure. Michael describes: "We've sort of done the dirty work of building up a labor intensive business and we have sort of underlying tech to make that a lot easier now." This approach of building core infrastructure first, then layering additional services, creates significant competitive advantages and higher margins over time.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Rishard Rameez is the Co‑Founder and CEO of Zown, an AI‑powered real estate platform that makes homeownership more accessible and affordable. Zown was born from a viral Reddit post where Rishard shared his frustration over paying over $70K in real estate commissions. The outpouring of support inspired him to flip the model: instead of paying big commissions, Zown gives buyers significant upfront cash to help with their down payment and closing costs, while offering sellers flat fees. This customer‑first model has driven rapid growth, with Zown processing over $300 million in transactions and becoming Canada's fastest‑growing real estate brokerage. The platform has recently launched in California and continues expanding across North America. Rishard sparked a movement by transforming personal pain into an industry‑changing solution.(02:17) - The Broken Home Buying Process(03:02) - It All Started with a Viral Reddit Post (05:39) - Early Pivot from Flat Fee Model(14:59) - Unbundling Real Estate Services(18:06) - Feature: Blueprint - The Future of Real Estate - Register for 2025: The Premier Event for Industry Executives, Real Estate & Construction Tech Startups and VC's, at The Venetian, Las Vegas on Sep. 16th-18th, 2025.(19:00) - Feature: Meow - Business banking, with interest: Unlock a high-yield business checking account that pays up to 3.52%.(20:31) - Zone's Growth Journey(28:47) - Customer Acquisition Strategy(30:36) - Recent Seed Round(32:42) - Why Own vs. Rent a Home(34:52) - Collaboration Superpower: Muhammad and Jesus Christ

Antony Slumbers is a leading voice on the future of real estate, keynote speaker, and educator on AI for property leaders. Antony Slumbers doesn't just talk PropTech—he created it. Long before "PropTech" was even a word, he launched the UK's first commercial real estate website in 1995. Now he's teaching the industry how to survive what's coming next. This isn't your typical tech cheerleading session. Antony cuts through the noise to explain why PropTech's cooling hype actually signals its maturation. The party's over. Now comes the real work. The brutal truth? Most real estate companies are trapped in silos, burning millions on point solutions that don't talk to each other. Meanwhile, smart operators are building ecosystems that orchestrate data, tools, and trust into genuine competitive advantages. We dive into Space as a Service—Antony's concept that predicted the death of the 20-year lease. Real estate has flipped from creating bonds for investors to creating experiences for humans. Miss this shift, and you're toast. Then there's Generative AI. MIT just dropped a bombshell: 95% of corporate AI projects are failing spectacularly. We break down why this mirrors every tech adoption cycle in history—and what the winning 5% are doing differently. The warning is clear: Companies that don't master these tools will face competitors operating at 5-10x their speed. It's "slowly then suddenly" time. We close with Antony's unfiltered take on tech hype. Spoiler: he really hates the Metaverse. Timestamps: 00:00 – From art history to PropTech pioneer 01:58 – Launching the UK's first real estate website (1995) 02:18 – PropTech reality: hype is cooling, adoption is heating up 03:58 – Why big firms waste millions on innovation theater 06:01 – Breaking silos: the only way forward 17:05 – Space as a Service: bonds are dead, experiences win 24:25 – GenAI's 95% failure rate (and what works) 30:00 – The "slowly then suddenly" competitive apocalypse 38:27 – Tech rants: why the Metaverse is anti-human You can watch the Video Podcast on Spotify or my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@charlesreedanderson Stay tuned, I'll be releasing 10 - 15 "60 Second Insight" video shorts at: https://www.youtube.com/@charlesreedanderson/shorts  As always, please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE.  More information: Follow Antony on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/antonyslumbers/ More on Antony's Gen AI for Real Estate Course: https://www.antonyslumbers.com/

1. Episode OverviewMatty A. brings clarity to the big investment debate of our time: Crypto, Artificial Intelligence (AI), or Real Estate. In this episode, he breaks down the strengths and risks of each investment avenue—and reveals how they can complement one another in a well-rounded portfolio.2. Big Ideas CoveredCryptoCrypto continues to gain traction with institutional interest and regulatory progress paving the way for innovation like stablecoins, asset tokenization, and enhanced DeFi interfaces.These developments could make digital assets more accessible and practical—but volatility and regulatory uncertainty remain ongoing concerns.AI InvestmentsAI investment remains a bright spot thanks to surging demand for infrastructure like data centers, as well as gains from specialized “stealth” technology providers.Still, analysts caution that such growth may be part of a larger tech bubble. Success depends on strategic execution, staying ahead of technological disruption, and navigating market cycles.Real Estate (Tech-Enhanced)REITs and tech-integrated real estate (via AI, smart homes, and tokenization) are showing resilience—especially in diversified global markets and evolving offline-to-online platforms.While real estate offers stability and generational value, it's slower to scale and less liquid—though tokenization may change the game in the future.3. Investment SnapshotCryptoOffers high growth potential and rapid innovation.Easily accessible—can invest with small amounts.Highly volatile and exposed to regulatory uncertainties.Often speculative, requiring strong conviction and risk tolerance.AIDriven by significant enterprise demand and infrastructure expansion.Supports a broader range of industries—beyond crypto hype.Risks include overinvestment and rapid obsolescence.Offers structured growth, especially through AI applications and platforms.Real Estate (Tech-Enhanced)Backed by tangible assets with income-generating potential.Becoming more efficient and liquid thanks to PropTech, AI tools, and tokenization.Traditionally less liquid with slower cycles—though technology is bridging the gap.Offers long-term stability and passive income.4. Episode TakeawaysDiversification is still your friend. Each asset class has distinct risk-return profiles—crypto offers high volatility upside, AI brings innovation and industry momentum, while real estate delivers stability and passive yield.Hybrid opportunities are emerging. AI-powered real estate platforms and tokenized CRE blends the best of multiple worlds—liquidity with structure, innovation with asset backing.Know your investor profile. Aggressive builders might lean more into crypto and AI, while income-focused or conservative investors could find real estate—or tech-enhanced real estate—more suitable.5. Suggested Next StepsAssess your risk appetite and time horizon to guide how you allocate across these sectors.Start small and explore hybrid investment channels, like tokenized real estate or AI-backed platforms.Track convergence trends—where blockchain intersects with real estate or AI tools power DeFi—as they often reveal outsized opportunities.Bottom Line: There's no single winner crowned in this episode. Instead, success may lie in combining these tools within a strategic, diversified portfolio—and leaning into the tech bridge between them.Episode Sponsored By:Discover Financial Millionaire Mindcast Shop: Buy the Rich Life Planner and Get the Wealth-Building Bundle for FREE!

This episode is brought to you by https://www.ElevateOS.com —the only all-in-one community operating system.You and I both know this: change never sends a calendar invite.In this week's episode, we unpack the Top 5 things shaping Multifamily right now — the moves you can't afford to ignore if you're serious about staying relevant in operations, PropTech, and leadership.First up — Wage Growth Outpacing Rent Growth for 31 straight months. Jay Parsons dropped a chart that tells a powerful story. Rent deceleration, meet moderate wage inflation. What does that mean for operators? I'll tell you.Next — "Choose Your Own Adventure" Roadshows. I had a real-world moment with a supplier partner that sparked something fresh: the future of vendor-operator engagement might just be... options.Third — buckle up. The World Economic Forum says 76% of real estate labor could be automated by 2030. Too far-fetched? I don't think so. The robots aren't coming. They're already here.Fourth — AI Mastery Requires Doing, Not Studying. A year-long course won't save you if it's already obsolete halfway through. The answer? Be a practitioner. The only way to understand this revolution is to get your hands dirty.And finally — that viral headline: "AI isn't coming for your job. It's coming for your workflows." Truth is, it's both. If AI's gunning for your process, it's gunning for your position. Time to adapt.If you're in Multifamily — operator, supplier, tech builder, leader — you need this pulse check.Let's grow together.

This episode is brought to you by https://www.ElevateOS.com —the only all-in-one community operating system.Ever notice how the simplest words carry the most weight?In today's episode of the Multifam Collective, I unpack a quote from Rudyard Kipling: "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind." That line hit me—and it got me thinking about the two most powerful words in the world of Multifamily leadership: please and thank you.These aren't just playground pleasantries. They're foundational tools in shaping culture, creating community, and leading with authenticity.In a world driven by speed, automation, and PropTech innovation, we sometimes forget the human side of the equation.

If you've ever tried selling new construction, you know it can be a total headache. Dropbox links everywhere, builder calls that never get answered, and brochures that are already outdated by the time they reach buyers.  It's frustrating for agents, builders, and buyers alike. So many agents just skip new construction altogether, leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table. But what if new build listings were as easy to access as homes on the MLS?  That's where NEO comes in. NEO cuts through all the chaos, helping you capture more buyer leads, keep them engaged, and take control of the buying experience. With NEO, you're not just getting a tool, you're getting a whole system that keeps everything organized and accessible. No more hunting for the latest floor plans or chasing builders for updates.  Everything you need to showcase new construction is right there, in one place, making it way easier to attract serious buyers and close more deals. So how exactly does NEO tackle all those annoying obstacles agents face? What kind of opportunities does it open up?  In this episode, NEO's CEO, Christian Calusa, breaks down why the platform is quietly becoming the “missing piece” of the MLS, why associations around the world are taking notice, and how it's helping agents dominate niche markets.   Many agents are not selling new construction because it's a time-consuming niche, due to the research and driving around. -Christian Calusa   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The “missing MLS” for new construction Most new-build inventory never makes it onto the MLS. How is that blind spot costing agents leads, deals, and market share?  Turning global interest into local sales How does NEO solve the access, language, and branding problems that stop overseas buyers from acting?  From QR code to $1M commission How did a brand-new agent who used NEO turn an Uber ride into a $10.2M sale? How can you replicate that kind of high-ticket, low-effort lead capture?    Guest Bio Christian Calusa is the CEO and Founder of NEO. NEO is the most adopted platform for new construction in Florida and Texas, and is rapidly expanding throughout the U.S. NEO is a unique solution that connects builders, real estate agents, and buyers in one streamlined ecosystem, offering unparalleled access to inventory, marketing tools, and sales enablement, both nationally and internationally.

This episode is brought to you by https://www.ElevateOS.com —the only all-in-one community operating system.Home prices are falling.John Burns Real Estate Consulting reports that new home construction is outpacing job creation. That shift is driving builders to slash prices and sweeten incentives to move inventory — especially in the Southeast, Southwest, West Coast, and select middle markets.Here's where it gets interesting for multifamily operators.If these incentives collide with a possible rate cut, we could see first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and even investors re-enter the market in force. That could mean apartment residents giving notice in the fall to buy homes before the holidays.I share why this trend matters, how it could signal a wave of change in multifamily occupancy, and what hyper-local data might tell us before the national numbers catch up.If you're in the multifamily space, this is a development you don't want to ignore.Like, subscribe, and join the conversation.For more engaging content, explore our offerings at the[https://www.multifamilycollective.com](https://www.multifamilycollective.com/) and the [https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.com](https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.com/)Join us to stay informed and inspired in the multifamily industry!
