Well we hit on some heavy topics a few weeks ago and I guess this week will be no different. Because I’ve been coasting lately on a wing and a prayer or perhaps better described as sliding in sideways there’s no road map for the podcast and I just find inspiration from my everyday life. Don’t worry that will change because Streamline now has a business support manager. More to come on that but you will see some shi...2023-04-1416 minMultifamily Streamlined with Leslie MathisChoice over SacrificeSend us a textHello apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined Podcast. Last week was a whirlwind. In an effort to be home with my family for more of the week I crammed 3 or 4 days of travel into 2 days and basically utilized the full 48 hours. At no point was I bragging but it honestly just came up in conversation. I flew to Atlanta and my driver which sounds fancy took me to Cherokee North Carolina to speak at a leadership event. We then drove back to Atlanta. Carlo has been driving me ar...2023-03-1511 minMultifamily Streamlined with Leslie MathisHopping off the Concession TrainSend us a textHello Apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Well a few weeks we talked about being heard and not hiding behind something but it’s time to pivot slightly and get back to some of our apartment basics. It’s not secret that I still think 2023 is going to be a tough one operationally. I always say we are coming off an 18 month high of rent growth but the experts remind me it’s truly been a heck of a 10 years for our industry. But when we unpack that so many...2023-03-0712 minMultifamily Streamlined with Leslie MathisRoad from RPM to Asset Manager 90 Day Check-InSend us a textHello apartments friends it’s me Leslie Mathis.

At the last minute I have decided to share the Daily Alignment from 68 Ventures that came out today. Take a listen at what they have to say along with Steve Keating on Human Speed Bumps. It's a great reminder of authentic leadership and the role we play in the bumps in the road for our team. I believe this also sets the stage for next week when we dive into the concession battle. As leaders when we buy into the strategy...2023-02-0105 minMultifamily Streamlined with Leslie MathisAre YOU Hiding Behind Something?Send us a textHello Apartment Friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined Podcast. Well I missed last week because I was traveling on a Monday and basically wasn’t prepared for life and now today I’m pretty sure I am not firing on all cylinders. Crazy I tested positive for Covid last Thursday - still positive but feel basically fine… but it robbed me of attending my Rise Up Girls event, now it cancelled my Charlotte trip where I had a photoshoot for my website scheduled and a small dinner party with my close...2023-01-2512 minMultifamily Streamlined with Leslie MathisCan You Hear Me Now?Send us a textHello Apartment Friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast.
