The best insights rarely happen in rows of chairs. They happen on the walks between sessions, over vendor booths, and at the dinners you were bold enough to join. We pull back the curtain on how to turn a big industry event into real leverage for your property management business—more relationships, better ideas, and a clear path to visible leadership.

Tony and Mark dissect what truly matters at conferences: creating your own luck, embracing messy reps, and letting serendipity compound. We talk about the “wrangle the dragon” dynamic between visionary founders and strong COOs, why failing forward in public is a feature not a flaw, and how a single dinner can shift your growth trajectory. You’ll hear how specific gratitude and applied advice build trust with mentors, why vendor halls can outperform lecture halls, and how to leave with at least one implementable change that improves profit per door. We also explore a Churchill-inspired lens on specialization vs. breadth, and why entrepreneurs—mavericks by necessity—develop the range that makes teams stronger and companies resilient.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stop lurking on the sidelines and start shaping the room, this conversation gives you the playbook: pick your rooms, show up consistently, look like a fool until you don’t, and let better habits rub off on you. Expect practical strategies for networking with intent, capturing insights in the moment, and converting chance encounters into lasting partnerships that move your numbers and your reputation.
