  • Loved the Chat GPT AI episode!

    Yes, please keep geeking and nerding out, even waxing philosophical!

    Very informative and accessible (for even non-technical folks!). Really exciting time we’re living in and hearing about where this technology interacts with the storage space and what Swivel has been up to (all along!)

    Looking forward to the Storage Space Lab Happy Hour!

    A lot of the podcasts in the industry are focused on the financial and construction side of self storage. This is a much needed look at everything else to actually run your business.
