Brandon Rickman:

We're gonna head into the focus round, Brandon, which is, five question. So what do you do for fun? Well, I'm a basketball coach, coach JV basketball at local high school here. And I love to fish. Uh, so have a, a bass boat. My 15-year-old son loves to fish and so we go in shore fishing down at the beach and they'd love to bass fish as well. That's awesome, man. What is one opportunity that looked very small, but turned out to be a big game changer for you? Oh, I would have to say the self storage, project, Um, Brandon, what's your best piece of advice for communicating value to nervous investors? I think trust, We've always focused on long-term relationships. We have, never not paid an investor back his return, his or her return. What do you wish more investors understood about using leverage responsibly? I would say the biggest questions that I've always had around it is the funding piece, around real estate in general. And I wish that, our, educational system does not teach entrepreneurialism. It teaches. Status quo, go get a job, make your hourly income invested in your 401k, retire when you're 62 or 72, and have this much money. Last question, man. To what do you attribute your success, for consistent growth in this space, brother? I'm a man of faith, my, relationship with Jesus obviously is key number one. I would say my, my wife is a, a huge part of that success.
