Renee's career journey began in the field of tourism and hospitality management, where she honed her skills in event coordination. Life, as it often does, threw a curveball at Renee, leading her to transition to the multifamily industry. Despite the shift, Renee found numerous parallels between hospitality and multifamily, from creating great experiences to ensuring people feel at home. Her story is a testament to embracing change and finding synergy between seemingly different industries.

A core theme in Renee's professional ethos is her commitment to doing things the right way. This isn't just about striving for perfection but about giving one's best effort in every endeavor. Renee credits her father for instilling this philosophy in her – the idea that "how you do anything is how you do everything." She emphasizes the importance of not just completing tasks but exceeding expectations and contributing to the overall success of a project. It’s a mindset that fosters collaboration and drives professional growth, proving that a little extra effort always goes a long way.

AI is a hot topic, and Renee dives into its potential impact on the multifamily industry. She highlights recent advancements from Google and OpenAI, such as the ability to use a camera for inputs and the new search generative experience. While exciting, she cautions against hasty implementation. The technology has significant implications for leasing and resident communication, and it's crucial to ensure accuracy and inclusivity in AI's applications. Renee also envisions AI tools simplifying maintenance tasks and enhancing marketing strategies. However, she underscores the importance of vigilance and continuous learning in utilizing these tools effectively.

In an age where AI can book your vacation or suggest dinner based on your pantry's contents, Renee argues that authenticity remains our greatest asset. She points out that while AI complements our efforts, it's our unique human experiences and genuine interactions that truly matter. Authenticity builds trust and fosters real connections, both personally and professionally. Renee’s emphasis on being genuine, whether providing feedback to a team or engaging with residents, is a reminder that our personal touch is irreplaceable.

Renee McIntyre’s insights on 'Boss Talks' offer a blend of practical advice and inspiration.

Dena's adventure in the realm of marketing and leadership began with her role at Pettinaro Residential, where she took on the mantle of leasing and marketing manager. Her story is not just about career growth but also the integration of personal values and community involvement, making her a standout figure.

Hello, Boss Talks fam! In episode 85, we dove deep into the world of multifamily housing politics, guided by Ryan Makinster and Carter Nelson from the Washington Multifamily Housing Association (WMFHA). Both Ryan and Carter are at the forefront of politics, legislation, and advocacy concerning multifamily housing in Washington State. 

They shared insights into recent legislative sessions, including key takeaways and how these changes impact both the industry and individuals. With Washington facing a critical shortage of housing, the conversation couldn't have been more timely.

One of the hot topics discussed was rent control or, as some prefer, rent stabilization. Ryan provided a nuanced perspective on how such policies, while potentially beneficial in the short term, can significantly stymie the production of new housing in the long run.

The conversation also highlighted the importance of local involvement, illustrated through stories from WMFHA’s EdCon event. It was a powerful reminder that engagement at the local level can spark change and even influence state-wide legislation.

Both Ryan and Carter shared their journey into their current roles, emphasizing the blend of professional and personal motivations that drive their advocacy efforts. Their stories underscored a common theme: getting involved and staying active in your community is crucial, whether through nonprofit boards, local government affairs, or industry associations.

Topics like pet policies and deposit limitations were dissected. Ryan and Carter elaborated on how these laws affect not just the housing industry but the tenants themselves, often in unintended ways. They detailed how broader tenant responsibilities and costs could shift due to specific policies, highlighting the intricate balance required in crafting legislation that serves all parties fairly. Ryan candidly addressed the challenges property managers face with deposit limitations, connecting the dots to how such regulations can inadvertently increase costs for all tenants.

They unpacked the short-term appeal vs. long-term drawbacks of rent control, using real-life examples from other cities to illustrate potential outcomes. It’s clear that while protecting tenants is vital, fostering an environment where new housing can be developed is equally important.

In wrapping up this enlightening conversation, it was evident that understanding and actively participating in housing politics is not just for the experts. Whether you’re on the ground in a leasing office, behind the scenes in property management, or engaging with the community as a supplier, there’s a role for you in shaping the future of housing.

Ending on a rallying cry for involvement, the episode served as a potent reminder of the power of collective action. Whether through attending city council meetings, participating in state legislative sessions, or simply responding to industry calls-to-action, your voice matters.

Kristen, the powerhouse behind Candor Consulting and a pivotal figure at Associa EMB Management, shares her remarkable story with Evan Happel, shedding light on the crucial intersection of personal growth and professional excellence.

Kristen’s venture into the HOA condo world wasn't just a career move; it was a leap of faith. Originally from a small coastal town in Oregon, Kristen's early years involved dabble in various jobs, from restaurant positions to runway modeling, but her true calling, found her unexpectedly when she became the general manager of a condo hotel (condotel) at just 24 years old. This role wasn't just a job; it was a forge that shaped her resolve, tested her mettle, and laid down the foundational values she stands for today.

Kristen’s story is not just about overcoming adversity but about turning those experiences into avenues for helping and inspiring others.

Her expertise shines through her work with Candor and Associa EMB Management, focusing on aiding self-managed communities and real estate agents navigate the intricate world of HOA management. It’s in these roles that Kristen’s innovative spirit truly comes to light.

A significant part of Kristen’s story revolves around mentorship and advocacy. Striving for more inclusive, supportive environments within an often challenging industry landscape, she has been a vocal advocate for mental health awareness and reforming outdated industry practices. Kristen's focus isn't just on solving current problems but nurturing the next generation of leaders through mentorship programs and advocacy within professional organizations like CAI.

Kristen Ledbetter's journey from adversity to becoming a leading voice in the HOA and condo management industry is nothing short of inspiring. Her story reminds us that the most compelling leaders are those who have weathered storms, emerged with a story to tell, and the will to make a difference. Kristen not only transformed her struggles into fuel for her success but also became a beacon for change, advocating for a more inclusive, empowered, and compassionate professional community.

In a world where personal and professional struggles often intersect, Kristen’s narrative is a powerful reminder that true success encompasses more than just professional accolades; it’s about how we uplift others through our journey. Kristen and Evan’s conversation not only highlights the importance of resilience in leadership but also illuminates the path for those looking to make an impact in their communities and industries.

So, whether you’re in the throes of professional challenge, looking to make a leap into a new venture, or navigating the complexities of HOA and condo management, let Kristen Ledbetter's journey inspire you to lead with heart, innovate with purpose, and always, always, pave the way for others.

Katie promotes a psychologically safe workplace where employees can admit when they're having a tough day openly. This level of honesty and transparency fosters a supportive environment that strengthens the team's bond. Katie is passionate about mentoring and helping her team grow, even if that means outgrowing the company itself.

Katie recounted her experience giving testimony in Olympia, emphasizing the importance of involvement in legislation that impacts the multifamily housing industry.

As we wrapped up the chat, the excitement about the upcoming EdCon was palpable. Katie's enthusiasm for the event and the industry's future reminded listeners of the power of community within the multifamily housing space. Her closing thoughts encapsulated the essence of Boss Talks and her life's philosophy: **"Learn, connect, grow. It doesn't matter where you are in your career; there's always room to embrace those three things."**

In this episode of Boss Talks, Katie Phelan-Chostner reminded us that authenticity, hard work, and a supportive community are the keystones of success in business and life. Her story is a testament to the power of showing up as you are and the beauty of embracing the imperfect journey towards making a meaningful difference.
