This is the 2nd episode of a 2 part series covering the topic of Student Housing Communites who offer transportation services. In this episode Wes interviews Doug Martin, the CEO of Transpar. Last year, Transpar became the first company to provide transportation needs of a national portfolio of student housing properties when they partnered with Scion to take over the day to day operations of their property-to-campus shuttle services. We talk about what they've learned and Doug provides some great advice to student housing managers who are managing this service in house.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is in a constant state of evolution. Because of that, there is a lot of confusion in the housing world (both student and conventional) on how to approach it.

Many students graduate college and are immediately faced with needing a good credit score. College students have learned from their parents that taking on consumer debt is not a good practice. So how can a college student or recent grad begin building a positive credit file. RentTrack offers a great solution and I think it is something that student housiing operators should be offering. In this episode, I sit down with Brad Batesole, Chief Marketing Officer for Rent Track, and we discuss the company and their mission to help renters get the credit they deserve!

The majority of our listeners hold site (or property) level positions. I'm often asked by those listeners, "Wes, how do I move up in this industry and into a corporate level position?" Well, I felt it was best to take that question to a panel of student housing executives who have made that journey from being a site level employee and ask them what they did and more importantly, what they are looking for when considering a site level employee for a regional or corporate level position. In this episode, I sit down with:
- Mitch Smith, COO of Scion Group
- Casey Peterson, COO of Peak Campus
- Madison Meier, VP of Biz Dev w/ Campus Advantage
- Holly Golebioski, VP of Operations w/ Homestead U
- Eddie Moreno, VP of Operations w/ Cardinal Group Management
If you are currently in a site level position and you desire or you are curious about advancing, this is a must listen!
