## Resource

I sit down with Peter Smyth, Co-Founder and CEO of White Label Storage, for a deep dive into the technology and operational workflows that are reshaping the self-storage landscape. Peter shares his journey from working at Hines and attending Harvard Business School to disrupting the Brooklyn market with Local Locker . What started as a way to monetize "dead space" in New York City has evolved into a national service platform managing over 200 facilities . We explore how Peter leverages centralized call centers to turn expenses into revenue drivers and why he believes the most successful operators in 2026 will be the ones who bridge the gap between AI-driven efficiency and human-centered sales If you are an owner looking for third-party management options or a developer interested in the future of remote-managed assets, Peter's perspective is essential listening .
