Ken Doble joins Adrian Danila for the first ever episode of Rough Cut, a no-script road trip podcast recorded between destinations, to explain why owner attendance on the multifamily conference floor keeps dropping and why most vendors misread it. He breaks down the vendor-to-owner ratio problem nobody talks about, why cold outreach at events is a waste of time, and why the conference is the finish line rather than the starting gun. Ken and Adrian get into building a personal brand from zero on LinkedIn, Steve Jobs on focus and the power of saying no, and why brand is the one thing that consistently works when the room is crowded with people selling the same thing. The throughline: owners show up for relationships they already trust, so the work that actually wins a deal happens long before the badge goes on.
