Modern Multifamily

Tony Sousa is the VP of Marketing Relations, a very well known industry figure, and someone I'm lucky to call a friend.

In June, right before NAA Apartmentalize, we hosted a LInkedIn live event together.

The premise was open-ended and we had a lot of interaction from an audience of about 120 people. 

We spent most of our talking about career growth, personal brand, building online and in public, as well as overall lessons in Tony's careeer.

I'm excited to share this conversation as a podcast and I hope you enjoy.
