A Personal Email - Passing The Torch after 14 Years
|
14 years. That's how long I've been at the helm of LeadSimple. It's been one hell of a ride. Today I am passing the torch to LeadSimple's next CEO Chris Winn. Why? Well, you should just listen to the podcast that I recorded with my good friend Ray Hespen where he interviews me on the big change. That said, here's the TLDR. I’ve taken the company as far as I can take it, and in order for us to get to the next level of growth and success that I know is possible - the company needs a new leader with a fresh set of legs, a big vision and a hell bent obsession achieve it. I’ve always been committed to not conflating the company’s trajectory and needs with my own as an individual and entrepreneur. Meaning that the company is bigger than me and has its own life and destiny. This was evident during the 2 ½ year stretch where I stepped out to start ProfitCoach and RentScale earlier in the decade. Those were good years of rebuilding the technical foundations of LeadSimple that enabled the strong run we had starting in 2020. Similar to then, the company is at an inflection point that requires vision and conviction in the face of a rapidly changing technology landscape and the erosion of traditional competitive moats. This is not the time to play it safe. I will have more to say about Chris Winn and the company's future in an upcoming long form interview with him. For today - I simply want to say THANK YOU to the people that helped build and support the company over the years. Without you none of this would have been possible. Yours in the pursuit of truth, - JAAM --- Know someone that would enjoy the newsletter? They can subscribe here. |

The most exclusive membership in property management is CRANE™. Why? Because it's members are asked to shift their priorities. No, there's no secret handshake or midnight initiation ceremony. But there is a very clear ask of it's members that is radically juxtaposed against what 99% of the industry is focused on. ----- Before I dive further into the rise of Crane and why it's upending norms in our space I want to park on the central premise of Crane - time freedom. Most business owners never...
This was a wild ride. Imagine growing to over 20,000 doors and then staring liquidation in the face. RW was sold to GA Technologies earlier this year for $8M after going public in 2022 via a SPAC that gave them the ticker symbol SFR. The rise, fall and rebirth of Renters Warehouse is a truly wild ride and I cannot thank Kevin Ortner enough for the courage and candor of breaking it all down. This interview is special for me for a couple reasons: Brenton Hayden, the founder of RW was the first...
Guys... we're back at it again. We're about to release another piece of original research and I could not be more stoked as it generated a TON of actionable insight. Peter Lohmann and I went big, retained a top tier research firm, and have produced a report jam packed with insight about the independent single family property owner and what they want from they property manager partners.
