The Multifamily Hangout

Think your company has a strong brand? Prove it—without saying a word. Watch the premiere on YouTube:?https://lnkd.in/e2F4wpKJ Corporate brands are built the same way personal brands are: Through people. Through consistency. Through trust. Tony Sousa ?? joins us to break it all down. Here’s what stuck: You don’t need a flashy campaign to build a brand. You need people who are willing to show up—online and offline. We call it personal branding. But at its core? It’s your reputation. Tony says it best: “We call it personal brand—but really, it’s just your reputation. In person and online.” Great companies aren’t afraid to humanize their brand. They let their people be seen. Heard. Known. Because your brand isn’t what you?say?it is— It’s what people?feel?when they see your name. Big thanks to our friends at?AppWork?for powering this conversation.

Too often, people feel entitled to tell others how to post online. No context. No connection. No invitation. In this episode,?Tony Sousa ???joins us to talk about boundaries, unsolicited advice, and the unwritten rules of showing up online. Sign up for the episode premiere here:?https://lnkd.in/e2F4wpKJ You wouldn’t walk up to a stranger and tell them how to dress. So why do it with someone’s content? Tony says it best: “There are no rules to the game. Just PR, perspectives, and the ability to play it well.” If you want to share feedback—make it thoughtful. Make it helpful. Otherwise, keep scrolling. Because at the end of the day, content is personal. And how you respond says more about you than it does about the post. Thanks to our friends at?AppWork?for powering this conversation!

"?????? ???????????????? ???? ?????????????? ???????????????? ???? ????????????: ?????????? ???????? ??????????????." This powerful insight comes directly from Bob Knakal, one of NYC's most respected real estate experts, who has closed over 2,300 property deals. Bob emphasizes that during the pandemic, Manhattan's 30% rent drop illustrated how supply and demand directly impact affordability. Watch the full conversation here: ??https://lnkd.in/ek36Nrws Bob shares that incentivizing property improvements previously reduced NYC's dilapidation rate from 14% down to 0.04%, showcasing effective policy in action. However, recent policy changes have discouraged essential property investments, leaving thousands of units unrenovated. In our recent conversation, Bob also highlighted the crucial role AI is playing in real estate, from prospecting and deal execution to powerful data analysis. His insights into leveraging proprietary data for smarter investing are truly invaluable. ?????? ?????? ???? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????? ?????? ???????????????? ???? ?????????????? ???????? ?????????????
