What happens when a pilot trades the cockpit for a climate-controlled unit?

In this episode, Scott sits down with Ryan Gibson of Spartan Investment Group for an in-depth look at the evolution, strategy, and future of self-storage investing. Ryan shares his fascinating journey from the airline industry to managing a self-storage empire valued at over $800 million.

The two discuss how speed, adaptability, and vertical integration are the engines behind Spartan’s exponential growth, and why partnering with REITs (rather than competing with them) is a game-changing move.

They dig into how current market dynamics—from inflation to sluggish home sales—are reshaping investment strategies, and why a flat market isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
