I want to talk about something that I think is pretty important. It is understanding the difference between value and money. And I think that is what separates the really good businessman, the really good entrepreneurs, the people who are really good at personal finance from the people who are not. It's understanding the difference between value and money. Find out the importance knowing the difference between value and money in this episode!

I attended a conference last week called Capital Camp in Columbia, Missouri. This is by no means a promotional ad for that conference, but I walked away with a clear head and some amazing insights into my strategy, my mindset, and how I manage the emotions and ego every entrepreneur deals with, especially with the Sweaty Startup Podcast and The Nick Huber Show . Everything was organized by my friend, Brent Beshore, and his partner Patrick O'Shaughnessy, both extremely accomplished investors. Jus...

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on what I'll be most proud of at the age of 85.

Way back in early 2015, I planned and developed my self-storage business with my partner Dan. It took a total of 2 years to prepare and set this thing up right. From finding property and looking for the right deals and LPs, in May 2017, we opened our doors for business with 5 outside investors. Fast forward to today, we have 4,930 self-storage units, 24 properties, 642,000 sq/ft all in properties in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut, and aren’t stopping there. With four acquisition e...

When it comes to entrepreneurship, big or small business ownership, you hear the same advice all the time: Do what you say you are going to do, and you will succeed as a business owner. It sounds so easy, but the real problem is that most of us are terrible at managing expectations. It’s bad business advice to just do what you said you’d do regardless of the evolving circumstances. Find out in this episode on what to do instead!

The painful truth is that not everyone is cut out to be a business owner. Another hard pill to swallow is that people cling to ideas, and concepts they think will get them ahead. I've said it before and I'll say it again, but my fear through all of this is that people who are listening to the show 10 years from now, will wake up one day, having started a business, are underpaid, overworked, and have a business that's not worth very much--that they just gave themselves a job. That's my fear, beca...

An update on Bolt Storage , my self storage / real estate private equity company: In 2018 the self-storage arm grew as Bolt Storage purchased a facility at 53 Pinckney Road in Ithaca and added it to the operations at 1401. 2019 was a big year as Bolt acquired three properties in Erie County PA, a property in West Mifflin PA (Pittsburgh), and a facility in Lansing NY . In January of 2021 the student storage division (Storage Squad) was sold and the self-storage facilities were rebranded under the...

A lot of fields are numbers games. Sales, venture capital, startups, dating. It’s about taking a lot of shots. Try to get the batting average as high as you can, but take a lot of at-bats and something is bound to work out. But once you get the funnel whittled down and you’re about to take serious action... My golden rule: Quality > quantity. In real estate, one good deal can change your life. Like this one. We purchased that facility in October 2019 with $100k down and it will generate $40k in ...
