Today’s episode is fueled by a coffee worth talking about—Boss Blend from Community Boss, courtesy of our friend Evan Happel. Evan, who runs the Boss Talks podcast, knows his way around good conversation and, as it turns out, great coffee. Boss Blend is a medium-roasted coffee sourced from Indonesia, Central, and South America and roasted in the picturesque Pacific Northwest by Dave Stewart of Snohomish. Its bold yet smooth profile delivers what coffee lovers crave: a rich, non-acidic taste that is easy on the palate and has a silky finish. For a medium roast, it packs the boldness I love without tipping into the harsh acidity that can sometimes accompany stronger blends. It's the kind of coffee that complements every conversation—whether it's a morning brainstorm or an evening podcast edit. My rating? A well-deserved 4.7 cups out of 5. If you're lucky enough to snag a bag—perhaps by joining Evan on his Boss Talks podcast—don’t hesitate. It’s not just coffee; it’s a community in a cup. Thanks to Evan for keeping me caffeinated for episodes to come. “Bold, smooth, and built for conversation—Boss Blend is a brew worth endorsing.” — Mike Brewer Care to join the coffee revolution?

Since ChatGPT’s debut in late 2022, AI has rapidly shifted from reactive to predictive. What started as a simple question-answer tool now adapts to individual needs and preferences, learning context and intent with every interaction. Imagine this: You file a notice to vacate your apartment. Your AI agent, already familiar with your lifestyle, begins coordinating with other AI systems to recommend your next home. It factors in your desired city, neighborhood, and even proximity to work, returning options you can refine with a simple verbal command. This evolution is reshaping property management systems (PMS). Platforms like AppFolio now leverage AI to provide actionable insights. Need to compare water usage year-over-year? AI can highlight anomalies and suggest root causes, like a leak in Building 26. Coupled with IoT sensors, it pinpoints the problem, reducing time and costs for resolution. Predictive analytics go further: Imagine a dashboard that flags potential overspending or operational inefficiencies before they occur. AI doesn't just answer your questions—it surfaces issues you hadn’t considered. “If you can imagine it, AI is already building it—or iterating toward it.” — Mike Brewer The future of property management is here. More intelligent systems, deeper insights, and seamless optimization—all driven by AI. Embrace AI tools now, or risk falling behind as the industry redefines itself.
