Learning from the #CRE vets at #ICSCLASVEGAS “We need to get back to building stores for WHEN they go out of business not IF,“ says Richard Wolf. Base tenant decisions on sales instead of credit, he advised at the #retailrealestate industry’s biggest event. #ICSCLasVegas2024

Another show in the books. We had the opportunity to speak with a lot of companies struggling to find the skilled talent they needed to run efficiently and not burnout their best people. If we didn't get to speak with you reach out and let's have that conversation. If we did, we will follow-up and get some help on the way! #augmentyourteam #skilledtrades #talent

This past weekend, I had the privilege of working at Nashville Oktoberfest once again, representing Nashville Soft Pretzel Co., LLC in the NSPC tent. This marks my third (or maybe fourth!) year contributing to this amazing event, and each year brings new opportunities for growth. In 2023, I transitioned to the production side, where I learned to carefully weigh fresh pretzel dough into 3 or 4 oz increments quickly and efficiently. But this year, I made it a point to learn even more. By shadowing the people who typically run other stations, I picked up new skills and became more versatile in helping out where needed. Our fearless leader, Vincent Dreffs, knows exactly where our strengths lie, and I’m grateful for the chance to expand mine. One thing that makes this team special is how dedicated we all are. A handful of Vince’s family members even fly down from Michigan to work the tent every year—that’s how much this means to us (and how wonderful of a leader he is)! We had no new faces this year, which was reassuring, as everyone knew their roles and was ready to dive back in. The experience felt like clockwork, thanks to this seasoned group of hard-working individuals including Abby Harris, Zach Anderson (BS-Guitar) and Ashley Guastella! This event allows me to hone my Process Improvement skills. Whether it’s in an office or at a festival, my ability to spot inefficiencies and step in to make things run smoother is something I take pride in. When I had a moment to rest, I’d check our stock or see if the service area needed anything. If my coworkers needed a hand, or a station was getting behind, I jumped in wherever I could. As one of our leaders pointed out, learning how to assist with other stations was a huge asset this year, and being adaptable helped the whole operation run more efficiently. I’m proud of what we accomplished, and I can’t wait for next year! 🥨🍻 #NashvilleOktoberfest #Teamwork #Leadership #ProcessImprovement #Adaptability #Tradition #ProjectManagement

5 learnings from starting a multifamily business 10 years ago from our COO, Ani Rangarajan: ▶ Focus on Product-Market Fit: Even a niche focus (like multifamily within real estate) can drive greater success ▶ Build with a Co-Founder: Having a committed partner is crucial in navigating the challenges of starting a business ▶ Be Patient: Success takes time. Plan for delays and extend your timelines accordingly ▶ Sell and Listen First: Before building a sales team, understand what messages resonate, what clients will pay, and which features matter most ▶ Embrace Iteration: Aim for "great," not "perfect." Release, gather feedback, and iterate to avoid product paralysis Follow along as we wrap up our 10th anniversary celebration tomorrow!

NO PLAN B Karim and I found ourselves picking snacks for our next event—a routine task, until we reached the beverage section. There, amidst the colorful cans, a silent wish echoed between us: "Please let the Red Bull be on discount." It wasn't just about saving a few bucks; it was about fueling our event with energy. 💡 That moment sparked an audacious idea. Why settle for buying when we could aim higher? We decided then and there: no more buying refreshments. Our new mission is To secure Red Bull as our official beverage partner. It was a challenge that lit a fire within us, reminiscent of the age-old wisdom of burning your boats to ensure victory. 🔥 Soon after Red Bull became the official beverage for our events Google Developer Student Club Constructor University Bremen and HULT Prize - Constructor Univeristy #EventPlanning #Partnerships #ChallengeAccepted #ThinkBig #RedBull

✈️ Cruising Altitudes We’re taking off into a new year at Punchcard. Every March, we take time to celebrate and look back on the year that was with a team retreat. Last year, our theme was Adventure Awaits, and we couldn’t be more proud of what we achieved. This year, it’s about enjoying the journey, appreciating how far we’ve come and looking forward to what’s yet to be explored. We know that together we can navigate the skies of innovation and opportunity, with the steadiness and elegance of a first-class flight. Besides, who doesn’t love a good metaphor? #yegbusiness #yycbusiness #Digitaltransformation

Absolutely thrilled to have met the legendary Marty Cagan in person at the Product Tank event last night! Huge thanks to ProductTank Brisbane for such an inspiring and insightful gathering. As an avid reader of Marty Cagan's books Inspired, Empowered, and Transformed, this experience has further deepened my understanding of building great products. Attending these events always reaffirms the importance of having an empowered team focused on addressing risks related to value, usability, feasibility, and viability. They enhance my understanding of creating products that customers truly love, tackling real customer problems, and transforming teams into empowered units. Key takeaways for the Transformed: 1. Changing how we decide which problems to solve. 2. Changing how we solve problems. 3. Changing how we build. 4. Shifting from projects to products, from time to market to time to money, output to outcome, with financial metrics and data to validate that we are solving the right problems. A special shoutout to Jase Clamp who built the product community 7 years ago and organise this event with Louise Flynn and to Marty Cagan Dominic Williamson Ash Ivory Elise Matherson Roelof Steyn Suchandra Chakraborty Olivia McCallum Bridget Delahunty and all the other incredible product people at ProductTank Brisbane for making this event memorable. Also, a big thanks to The Precinct Just Digital People Magentus Epsilon,Pendo.io Askable GrowthHoops Clipchamp for supporting this event. #ProductManagement #MartyCagan#CustomerFirst#EmpoweredTeams #ProductTankBrisbane #Innovation#ProductPeople
