THE DIGIBLE DUDE

AI can save your team hours every week. But then what? In this episode, Reid sits down with Jamie Gorski, Co-Founder of Journey Lens and Founder of Catchpoint Collective, to explore what happens after AI creates efficiency. They discuss why many organizations are falling into the "free time trap," how leaders should rethink roles instead of simply adding more work, and why change management may be AI's biggest challenge.

The conversation also dives into customer and associate journeys, the power of micro moments, measuring AI's ROI, and whether the future belongs to point solutions or all-in-one platforms. If you're navigating AI adoption in multifamily, this episode offers practical insights that go well beyond the technology itself.

The latest technology isn't always the right technology. In this episode, Reid sits down with Christian Davis of Lighthouse to discuss why multifamily operators need to evaluate AI, automation, and emerging PropTech through the lens of data, not fear of missing out. From self-guided tours to flexible rent payments and AI-powered leasing, Christian shares how Lighthouse separates industry hype from solutions that deliver measurable value.

The conversation also explores human-centered leasing, evaluating new technology, AI adoption, and building a fact-based decision-making process. Whether you're investing in new PropTech or refining your existing tech stack, this episode challenges conventional thinking and offers a practical framework for making smarter technology decisions.

Technology is changing the way multifamily operates, but great leadership is still what makes the biggest difference. In this episode, Reid sits down with Josh Hinchley, Vice President of Marketing & Technology at Sentinel Management, to discuss how organizations can embrace AI without losing the people, culture, and customer experience that drive long-term success. From building employee buy-in to proving ROI, Josh shares a practical framework for leading through change.

The conversation also explores customer experience, technology adoption, and what it takes to successfully lead teams through change. If you're navigating AI, change management, or digital transformation in multifamily, this episode offers practical strategies for leading teams through change with confidence.

What if the biggest problem with multifamily marketing isn't the technology—it's the messaging? In this episode, Reid sits down with Lia Nichole Smith of Spherexx to explore why brands spend too much time talking about features and not enough time understanding customer struggles. Together, they unpack the role of storytelling, trust, and strategy in an industry racing to embrace AI.

From brand positioning and customer research to responsible AI and long-term marketing strategy, Lia shares practical insights for building brands that people connect with—not just products they buy.

AI is changing apartment search—but is the industry ready for it? In the second half of Reid's conversation with Jennifer Cyphers, Founder and CEO of Pinwheel, they explore how answer engine optimization (AEO) is replacing traditional SEO, why storytelling matters more than ever, and how AI is changing the way renters discover apartments.

The conversation also cuts through the AI hype, covering what multifamily leaders actually know, what they don't, and why an evidence-based approach will matter as the industry adapts.

What happens when renters start their apartment search with ChatGPT instead of Google?

In this episode, Reid sits down with Jennifer Cyphers, Founder and CEO of Pinwheel, to discuss how AI is changing apartment search, leasing, and the way prospects discover communities. Jennifer shares why 30% of search is already beginning through chat interfaces, how Pinwheel is adapting to an AI-driven world, and why multifamily teams need to rethink the renter journey.

The conversation also explores self-guided tours, spatial intelligence, digital leasing experiences, and why the most important leasing decisions often happen after a renter has already chosen a property. It's a fascinating look at where multifamily marketing and leasing are headed next.

Most apartment operators think they know who they’re competing against. According to Jonas Bordo, they’re probably missing the bigger picture.

In the second half of Reid’s conversation with the Dwellsy CEO, Jonas explains why renters don’t think in traditional comp sets, how AI could soon replace apartment search as we know it, and why the future belongs to open platforms that connect renters, properties, and intelligent agents. It’s an eye-opening conversation about technology, consumer behavior, and the forces reshaping housing.

Whether you’re in multifamily, proptech, marketing, or operations, Jonas offers a fresh perspective on where the industry is headed—and why the biggest changes may arrive much sooner than most people expect.

Apartment search is overdue for a rebuild. In this episode, Reid sits down with Jonas Bordo, co-founder and CEO of Dwellsy, to unpack why the rental marketplace still struggles with stale listings, bad rent data, fraud, and outdated assumptions about how renters actually search. Jonas explains how final asking rent creates a more accurate picture of the market, why traditional comp sets are often hilariously wrong, and how Dwellsy is building a more open, comprehensive rental marketplace.

The conversation also looks ahead to an agentic future, where renters may no longer scroll through endless listings at all. Instead, AI agents could search, compare, schedule tours, and even help negotiate leases on their behalf. For multifamily marketers, operators, and anyone still pretending apartment search works just fine, this episode is a very necessary wake-up call.

As AI adoption accelerates across multifamily, operators are being forced to rethink how their businesses are structured, staffed, and scaled.

In this episode, Dom Beveridge, Principal of 20for20 and Multifamily PropTech Expert, shares insights from his latest Annual Report research, highlighting how leading organizations are approaching AI—not just as a tool, but as a shift in operating philosophy.

Reid and Dom cover:

• The evolution from point solutions to AI-first platforms
• Operational implications of automation and centralization
• Data, governance, and the risks of “black box” AI
• The true impact of AI on financial performance

A must-listen for leaders navigating the next phase of technology in multifamily.
