Maintenance Mindset
The maintenance team is often overlooked until it is needed. But the role of the maintenance team is hugely important! It's well documented that maintenance is often viewed as the reactionary members of the operational team – who deal with less than glamorous situations. This podcast is a chance to have a real dialogue about the critical role that maintenance plays in daily operations and in sustaining the valuation of these vital assets. Maintenance Mindset is a conversation about the real stories happening on site and how that translates into successfully moving from reacting and responding to prevention. The work of on-site maintenance is much more than just plunging toilets, fixing things, and completing service requests focused on reducing the backlog of work. Maintenance is a Mindset. Tune in for discussions about super heroic rescues, ironic twists of fate, nerdy technical details, and interactions with some amazing people. Join Paul Rhodes as he explores it all in this upbeat solution-focused podcast!
The Turnover
Welcome to The Turnover, where unpredictability meets humor and expertise! In this one-of-a-kind podcast, three hosts from the Multifamily Media Network with a solid maintenance background come together to tackle the unknown. Here's the twist: while one host picks the topic, the other two are kept completely in the dark—just like the unpredictable nature of maintenance in the apartment industry. No subject is off-limits, and you get to join in the fun as they turn over fresh ideas, surprising perspectives, and unscripted conversations.
