In this episode, Tyler Christiansen, Funnel CEO, sits down with Jason Terry from Redstone Residential—and a standout speaker from last year’s Funnel Forum panel on centralization. Jason brings a rare mix of operational insight and higher-ed heart. He talks about leadership, leasing velocity, and why building centralized teams starts with empathy—not just efficiency. His approach reflects a mindset we value deeply at Funnel: being prosocial.  His spirit of shared responsibility and team-first thinking is the throughline of Redstone’s model—and this conversation. You’ll hear: <ul> <li>Why student housing is more than real estate—it’s a coming-of-age experience</li> <li>How Redstone is scaling care and community through centralization</li> <li>What late-night leasing, tour guides, and lockout calls reveal about team structure</li> <li>The limits of AI—and where it can really help</li> <li>Career advice that’s simple, powerful, and wildly underrated</li> </ul> If you care about building teams that lead with empathy and operate with purpose, this episode is a must. <ul> <li>Connect with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-terry-b9947756/" rel="nofollow">Jason Terry on LinkedIn</a></li> <li>Learn more about<a href="https://www.redstoneresidential.com/" rel="nofollow"> Redstone Residential</a></li> <li>Learn more about <a href="https://funnelleasing.com/redstone-residential/" rel="nofollow">Redstone’s partnership with Funnel.  </a> </li> </ul> To stay up-to-date follow Funnel on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/funnelleasing/" rel="nofollow">Linkedin</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/funnel/" rel="nofollow">connect with Tyler there, too. </a>
