Airline Pilot

Tom, what's going on, man? How you doing?

Hey, dude, uh, we have started discussions really about how every time we come into [chuckles] a show now, we're like a modular show, and I guess that comes with the territory because if you're doing a podcast on the road as an aviation pilot and an airline pilot, like, you're gonna have to move stuff, and this is part of the life that we live where you, you, you have a bag and you put your stuff in there.

And if you're, if you're not a regular traveler, like when you go and travel, you set up your bag and you make sure you got your toothpaste here, you got this.

My grandparents used to lay stuff out on their beds for like weeks before they went on a trip, and I'd be like, "What's, what's going on with the bed in there, Grandma?"

Talk a little bit about your background

and your history as a as a pilot, a commercial airline pilot, and how that transitioned into being the 29th largest self-storage operator in the country.

I think

the fact that We both, my co-founder and I, Scott Lewis, you know, kind of come from backgrounds where there's a lot of discipline to what we do, right? There's discipline in following checklists and following procedures, or unfortunately, really bad things can happen for an army vet or for someone in the military if procedures aren't followed.

Go back to just when you were an airline pilot and just, you know, thinking about getting into self-storage.

I mean, what was it that made you even think about that? Why self-storage? And then what was that transition like? First of
