We’re excited to dive into Part 2 of our conversation with Joe where he recounted his successful transition from a single-family business to the self-storage industry, highlighting scalability and management ease as key motivators. Despite initial challenges, this shift allowed him to streamline his operations and reduce his team size significantly.
