We're starting this episode with some major news: the US government just revised job numbers downward by nearly a million jobs, a shocking development that signals significant economic softness. Your hosts, Chris Berg and Thaddeus Campbell, break down what this means for the economy and the self-storage industry.

We also explore the growing impact of AI on the job market and its role in displacing workers, which could paradoxically lead to more self-storage demand. The conversation delves into the crucial decisions facing the Federal Reserve and the insights from industry CEOs on how to navigate today’s competitive landscape.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• The recent downward revision of job numbers and what it signals about the health of the US labor market.

• How AI is contributing to job displacement and why this may be a driver of future self-storage demand.

• A look at the Federal Reserve's role in monetary policy and the potential for a rate cut based on new economic data.

• Why self-storage is considered a resilient asset class that can perform well even in a down economy.

• The importance of community networking and making informed investment decisions based on solid data.

Tune in for a candid and informative chat that helps you understand the current pulse and future direction of self-storage!
