The Storage Rebellion Show is a self storage podcast about the discipline, leadership, and character behind real success in self storage.
Most investors are taught a simple roadmap: deals lead to wealth, and wealth leads to freedom. But money doesn’t create freedom — it magnifies the person holding it. If the foundation is weak, success only amplifies the cracks.
Hosted by Chris Michaels, the show features honest conversations with investors and operators about building self storage businesses and becoming the kind of person capable of sustaining real freedom.
SE 2 EPISODE 12: Why Some Investors Keep Winning Deals | Frank DeSalvo
For the Season 2 finale, I sit down with Frank DeSalvo of Franklin Street to talk about what separates the investors who consistently win deals from everyone else.
We get into the biggest mistakes Frank sees buyers making, what successful investors do differently, how to position yourself to actually get deals across the finish line, and what he’s seeing right now across the self-storage market.
We also talk about where opportunities are showing up, how the buyer/seller dynamic is changing, and what investors should be paying attention to as we head into the next chapter of the storage market.
Whether you’re chasing your first facility or already building a portfolio, this one gives you a look at the market from someone who sees deals happening across the country every day.
Season 2 ends with a good one. Let’s get into it.

SE 2 EPISODE 11: My Journey Into Self Storage + What I’d Do Differently Today
I recently sat down with the team at Cubby to talk about my journey into self storage, from getting started with very little to building businesses, doing deals, and eventually creating Storage Rebellion.
We also got into some of the biggest mistakes I see investors making today, what I wish more people understood before chasing their next deal, and why I believe the people you surround yourself with can completely change your trajectory.
We talked deals, growth, community, lessons learned the hard way, and what it really takes to build something that creates more freedom in your life.
Really enjoyed this conversation with the Cubby team. Hope you guys enjoy it.

SE 2 EPISODE 10: You’re Planting Seeds Every Day. What Will They Grow Into?
Every choice you make is planting a seed.
How you spend your time. What you eat. The conversations you have. The work you avoid. The risks you take. How you show up for your family. The habits you repeat when nobody is watching.
Most of these choices feel small in the moment. But eventually, they grow into something.
In this episode, we talk about paying attention to the seeds you’re planting today and understanding that the life, business, health, relationships, and faith you experience tomorrow are being shaped by what you repeatedly do right now.
You don’t get to plant one thing and expect to harvest another.
So the question is simple: If you keep planting the same seeds you’re planting today, are you going to like the harvest?
