So, having your money working inside of good assets, not only allows you for good appreciation but you've got continued, great rent operations and the demand for storage has not been shrinking at all. The millennial generation is now becoming the largest users of storage more so than we've seen in the past." - Zach Morrow04:24 - "I wanted to find a way to transition out of the corps and be able to provide the life for my family that I felt was right for us. And for us, that was me finding a way to not only have the financial freedom, but the time freedom to be able to spend with them and to be present."- Zach Morrow10:13 - "There's always going to be new levels of growth and opportunity. And I think that the more we can recognize where we're at and process where we're trying to get to, we can reverse engineer the skills that we need and the resources that we need." -  Zach Morrow10:49 - "There's going to be two things that you can give and it's either your time and your experience or your money. And both of those can earn you the opportunity." - Zach Morrow15:54 - "One of the most difficult things about transitioning out is, in most cases, you're going to lose the clarity and now you're going to become responsible for it. And a lot of times we haven't been trained to do that. So, that's a really difficult thing to do. Finding a way to regiment your time to create clarity for yourself is critical for your term success." - Zach Morrow17:37 - "Once you know what your target is, you can get really clear on the next step. But if you're always focusing on the thing that's so far away, you're never going to hit the target. So, if we just put these things out there, it becomes extremely difficult to hit the target, unless you can set it up and then reign it back in and focus on that next thing right in front of you." - Zach Morrow27:44 - "Your job shouldn't be to be the expert at everything. It should be how to find experts at everything. It's not always like, how do I do something, it's who do I need.  That's the question we ask more often because 'how' requires me to completely transform who I am and then I'm starting from zero where I can potentially just partner with somebody or bring somebody on or create a relationship.

You know, when bad things happen, you have a different approach to it. It doesn't affect you as much. I would say that my strength is getting people out of the victim-poor me mindset and getting them more into the conquer can-do mindset that's needed for a lot of aspects of life." - Chris Keith 36:42 - "I just learned over the years that buy when you're able. If you're worried because the prices are high, well the prices are high but the interest rates are low. The interest rates are going to go up and then the prices may soften a little bit. But buy when you can. Just buy something and get into the market because you're able to parlay that into your next place and into another." - Chris Keith 53:22 - "I think at this point for me, I see people start making these obstacles in their head with fitness, health, and exercise. I think just committing, just doing it, showing up is like half the battle." - Chris Keith Connect with Chris KeithLinkedInChris Keith - San Diego Personal Trainer Connect with Expert(ish) Podcast Host JAY JOHNSONCall (858) 925- 4536WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagram Listen to more episodes of the Expert(ish) PodcastiTunesSpotify

And I, a hundred percent believe that because I found that the more mistakes I've made, the faster I've made them, the better I've become." - Greg Amorelli 08:08 - "I think the majority of us, military or post-military, are people who have a mindset where we have to keep going, keep pushing forward. And I think there are goods and bads for that. Any success that I've developed right now is because I do have that mentality." - Greg Amorelli 13:24 - "When you start something out, there's a big difference between understanding where you want to be and where you can be." - Greg Amorelli 21:56 - "The concept of pulling from all these different locations, you don't have to do it all yourself. But if you know, just enough, to know how you utilize that asset, how you utilize that resource, how you utilize that employer and that coworker to the point where they can succeed in what they do best, which will make you succeed, then to me, that's the win." - Greg Amorelli 31:09 - "Make the best decision you can with the information you have and be good with it. The most dangerous thing you can do in the military is not make a decision. It's almost always a lot of cases and in a lot of situations, it's better to make the wrong decision than no decision." - Greg Amorelli Engage with Greg AmorelliLinkedIn Connect with Expert(ish) Podcast Host JAY JOHNSONCall (858) 925- 4536WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagram Listen to more episodes of the Expert(ish) PodcastiTunesSpotify
