    #890 - The One Sign You’re Dealing With an A Player
    Aug 20 2025

    Good morning, Store Nation!

    Welcome back to the Hacking Self Storage podcast.

    Today, I’m sharing a powerful insight from Shaan Puri on the My First Million podcast about what makes someone an A player and why self-development is the real key to growth.

    I talk about how I approach learning, what I expect from my team, and why standing still in business really means falling behind.

    Aug 15 2025

    Good morning, Store Nation!

    Welcome back to the Hacking Self Storage podcast.

    Today, we’re diving into one of the biggest debates in the industry: Does location still matter, or can a strong digital presence beat a prime roadside site?

    I share my thoughts, lessons from industry leaders, and insights from the US market.

    Hope it gets you thinking.

  • #888 - How Much You Should Really Spend on Marketing

    #888 - How Much You Should Really Spend on Marketing
    Aug 13 2025

    Good morning, Store Nation!

    Welcome back to the Hacking Self Storage podcast.

    Today, I’m breaking down exactly how much I spend on marketing across all six of my sites, and what percentage of revenue that works out to.

    You’ll hear why mature sites spend less, how economies of scale play a big role, and the ideal ad spend percentage you should aim for once your site is established.

    Hope this helps you see where your own marketing budget stands.
