Shon Bennet on the amazing growth of GoStoreIt and what's happening in Storage that made it possible

I sit down with Shon Bennett, Director of Business Development at Go Store It, for a deep dive into the evolving world of third-party self-storage management . Shon spent 14 years at Extra Space Storage, beginning behind the counter as an assistant manager before leveraging a decade of operational field experience to join their corporate third-party management division . Two years ago, Shon took a leap of faith to join COO Bo Agnello and help scale Go Store It into a national powerhouse . In this episode, Shon breaks down how Go Store It navigated the prolonged industry down-cycle and expanded its footprint to about 250 owned and managed locations . We examine the structural shift happening in third-party management, where mega-REITs are hitting concentration limits in primary markets and passing on tertiary assets, leaving a massive runway for tailored operating models . Shon also explains his philosophy on PropTech, using software and AI as targeted "NOS" rather than building an entire operation aro
