he Self Storage Association is always looking for new ways to connect with, educate, and entertain our members, and that’s why we’re excited to tell you more about our new podcast, “What’s Up, SSA?”

This podcast is designed to give members a behind-the-scenes look at the work we do, the value of SSA membership, and why having a national nonprofit association advocating for the self-storage industry matters. More than anything, we want members to get to know the SSA team and what we do on behalf of you and the industry throughout the year.

Many members interact with us primarily during national events. While those moments are exciting and fulfilling, they’re also busy, fast-paced, and not always the best window into the full scope of our work. Every SSA staff member plays a vital role in executing those events, but our efforts extend far beyond conference week.

Our first episode is a special one because it was recorded during the Spring Conference & Trade Show in San Antonio in March. I was honored as the host to share candid conversations with some of my fellow SSA team members and a few of our SSA members (operators and vendors alike).

Future episodes will spotlight key SSA benefits and updates, including the SSA Foundation, our national events team, legal and legislative insights, conversations with our CEO, and more. Whether it’s advice on how to run your business more effectively or updates on pending legislation, everything we do is to benefit you and your bottom line.

We hope this podcast keeps you informed, connected, and firmly in the self-storage know. Follow the show and watch/listen to “What’s Up, SSA” on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
