What does it mean to have a friend? What does it mean to be a friend?

Someone you can rely on. Someone who understands you, not just the "you" that you project into the world. A friend is someone who knows they can rely on you, too.

Ken Woolley is the founder of Extra Space Storage, those ubiquitous blocky buildings you always see from the highway. He's managed airlines, developed apartments, even flipped vintage cars. But to hear him say it, none of it would be possible without that true spark of trust that comes from the friendships he's built.
