Join Kerry W. Kirby and Jimmy Lancaster, the masterminds behind the Multifamily Tech Gurus Podcast Series, as they discuss how the modern renter's journey has been completely transformed in today's digital-first world. With a wealth of online resources, AI-driven tools, and self-service technologies at their fingertips, renters now have more power than ever to search, evaluate, and validate their housing choices before even stepping foot on a property.

In this episode, Kerry and Jimmy break down the multifaceted digital landscape that guides renters from discovery to decision-making. They examine how search engines, listing platforms, social media, and online reviews play a pivotal role in shaping perceptions while cutting-edge solutions like chatbots, virtual tours, and AI-driven leasing assistants streamline the experience. From the first click to the final lease signature, they discuss how multifamily operators can optimize every digital touchpoint to engage prospects effectively and convert leads into leases.

Kerry and Jimmy's Words of Wisdom: "Today's renters aren't just searching for an apartment; they're curating their entire living experience through a series of digital interactions. From the first search query to virtual tours, AI-driven chat support, and seamless online leasing, every touchpoint matters. If your leasing journey isn't intuitive, responsive, and tech-driven, you risk losing prospects before they even step through the door. Multifamily operators must embrace innovation to meet renters where they are - online, on-demand, and on their terms."

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
