Thank you for your ! Ever walk into a room and immediately feel like you need to level up? In this episode, I reflect on what it’s like to be surrounded by top-tier thinkers, leaders, and investors—and how just being in that space shifts your mindset. From a small moment with Rob Beardsley (and a signature hat 👀), to the energy of walking into One World Trade, I share how proximity to excellence naturally raises your own standards. This isn’t about appearance. It’s about presence.  It’s about how high-quality rooms challenge you to speak better, think sharper, and show up stronger. If you’ve ever second-guessed how you present yourself—or wondered if you're ready to be in “those rooms”, this episode is for you. Hear the full episode to hear the mindset shift that happened at One World Trade and why leveling up doesn’t always start with knowledge—it starts with how you walk in. #ElevateYourStandard #MindsetMatters #LeadershipInRealLife *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Thank you to all of our listeners!!!

Aloha, It’s Shelon "Hutch" Hutchinson here! If you’re enjoying 'The Multifamily Real Estate Experiment' podcast, please like, comment, and share our episodes to help us reach and inspire more people. Thank you for your ! Taxes and insurance—the two things everyone says you can’t control in real estate. But what if that’s not totally true? In this episode, Sam Morris and I flip the script on how smart asset management can actually influence these so-called “uncontrollables.” From understanding what insurance companies are really looking for to securing a 99-year tax abatement, I also share the kind of next-level thinking most operators completely overlook. It’s not just about cutting reno costs or running the numbers—it's about seeing the whole board and making strategic moves that protect your bottom line long-term. Watch the full episode to catch these golden nuggets from Sam Morris—you’ll never look at asset management the same way again. #SmartMovesOnly #GoldenNuggets #RealEstateStrategy *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Thank you to all of our listeners!!!

Thank you for your ! Not every investor conversation goes as planned. And that’s okay. In this episode, Sam Morris and I talk about the power of being honest when you don’t have all the answers—and why that can actually build more trust than pretending you do. The guest shares a story of getting stumped by a more experienced investor and how saying, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out,” led to growth, credibility, and a better relationship. We also get real about the real keys to success. It’s not just strategy—it’s who’s in your corner. The most business-changing decision? Marrying the right partner. 22 years in, four teenagers, and still showing up strong. This episode is full of reminders that leadership isn’t about being flawless—it’s about being human, being real, and staying in the game. Because if you're not in the game... you can't win. #LeadWithHumility #MindsetFirst #InTheGame *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Thank you to all of our listeners!!!

Aloha, It’s Shelon "Hutch" Hutchinson here! If you’re enjoying 'The Multifamily Real Estate Experiment' podcast, please like, comment, and share our episodes to help us reach and inspire more people. Thank you for your ! This one hits a little deeper than the usual talk about deals. In this episode, we explore how one opportunity can change everything—especially when you're young, green, and willing to listen. The guest shares how mentorship from a bank chairman (before he even knew what that meant) completely shifted the course of his career. Why? Because he was coachable. He also opens up about what matters most when it comes to communicating with investors: just tell the truth. If it's good, say it's good. If it's not, own it, explain why, and show the plan forward. That kind of honesty builds more than deals—it builds trust. And outside the boardroom? It’s all about hunting, fishing, golfing with family, and soaking in the moments that matter. It’s a real one—leadership, mindset, a little real estate, and a whole lot of wisdom. #MentorshipMatters #RealTalkLeadership #MindsetInBusiness *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Thank you to all of our listeners!!!

Aloha, It’s Shelon "Hutch" Hutchinson here! If you’re enjoying 'The Multifamily Real Estate Experiment' podcast, please like, comment, and share our episodes to help us reach and inspire more people. Thank you for your ! “If you confuse, you lose.” And that goes for both life and investing. In this episode, Sam Morris and I get into why clarity is everything—especially when it comes to educating investors and making sound decisions. The guest shares powerful insight on what happens when people feel unsure: they back out. Not because the deal is bad, but because confusion kills confidence. We also unpack the real talk around multifamily investments—yes, they come with upside, but they also come with trade-offs like limited liquidity. And that’s not a bad thing... as long as you’re clear about what you’re getting into. Transparency, clarity, and telling it like it is—that’s what builds trust and long-term results. #ClearOverClever #InvestorMindset #LeadershipWithIntegrity *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Thank you to all of our listeners!!!

Thank you for your ! Everyone talks about the deals, the numbers, the market. But here’s the truth—real estate isn’t the hard part. People are. In this episode, we get into what really makes or breaks your success. Residents, employees, investors... managing people is where the real work shows up. The guest shares a simple but powerful mantra: “Real estate is easy. People are difficult.” It’s a reminder that strategy is nothing without leadership. If you’ve ever felt like the people side of the business takes the most energy, you’re not alone. This one’s for the ones leading from the front, figuring it out as they go, and learning how to grow through it. #LeadershipInRealLife #MindsetFirst #RealEstateTruth *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Thank you to all of our listeners!!!

Thank you for your ! Some people wait for the “perfect” moment to get things done. This episode is about those who just get it done. No excuses. No dragging it out. Just commitment.   Michael Pouliot shares how high-performance environments shaped a mindset where almost anything—especially when it's on your desk or screen—can be finished today. It’s not about rushing... it’s about recognizing that discipline builds confidence. That “I can handle anything” energy doesn’t come from talent—it comes from reps.  This one's for the leaders who know that follow-through is the real flex. Start it. Finish it. Then move.  #MindsetShift #FinishStrong #LeadershipInAction   *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Thank you to all of our listeners!!!

Thank you for your ! This episode hits home for anyone chasing their version of success—especially in real estate. Michael Pouliot breaks down the reality that building your business (or syndication strategy) won’t be overnight, but it is possible.  You don’t need to fit into someone else’s model—you can create your own, tailor it to your strengths, and iterate along the way. Just keep showing up. You’ll get knocked down (often), but as long as you keep getting up, you're still in the game. *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Thank you to all of our listeners!!!

Thank you for your ! In this episode, Michael Pouliot gets real about something a lot of investors (and dreamers) struggle with—taking action.

Thank you for your ! In this episode, Michael Pouliot dives into a philosophy that’s less about hype and more about durability: margin of safety. Taken from Benjamin Graham and adopted by Warren Buffet, this principle reminds us that it’s not about getting the highest return—it’s about protecting what you’ve built. From keeping reserves, to smart acquisitions, to choosing the right debt structure—Mike breaks down how to build a portfolio that weathers the storm and thrives long-term. If you're investing without buffers, you might just be gambling.  *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Thank you to all of our listeners!!!
