How does a full-time airline pilot build a billion-dollar self-storage empire on the side? Cameron Christiansen and Anthony Faso uncover Ryan Gibson's journey from the cockpit to running one of real estate's most resilient asset classes.

Ryan is a former Delta and Alaska Airlines pilot who, while flying passengers, built a $1 billion self-storage portfolio spanning 43,000 units across 15 states. He shares how he identified self-storage as a scalable, resilient asset class that allows investors to gain passive exposure without operational headaches.

Ryan explains why self-storage outperforms other real estate options for passive investors, the "life events" driving demand, and the advantages of auctions and simplified tenant management. He also explains syndications, how to evaluate deals, the 10/30/30/30 investment strategy, and the use of whole life insurance to fund investments.
