Summary
In this episode, we sit down with Todd Parks to talk about what it really takes to build — and protect — a company over time. Todd shares how he built his property management business from the ground up, why he intentionally turned down growth opportunities, and how learning to step back made him a better leader. We also talk about responsibility, navigating hard seasons in life, and what it means to be the person others rely on — both at work and at home. This is a conversation about restraint, ownership, and the weight that comes with leadership. Humans of Multifamily is presented by Zuma, the AI assistant for your full-resident lifecycle.
