This guy named Sam Zell. He also, he was 81 years old when I met him. He passed away, unfortunately, about six months after I got to have lunch with him. And in his autobiography, he mentions, uh, Sam Zell's a legend, you know, one of the best entrepreneurs, investors. He sold, uh, his, uh, the largest real estate company in history for like $38 billion.

Like the guy just could, he fell ass backwards into deals and deals and money. He was just phenomenal. But I got to have a, uh, two hour lunch with him and he's sitting, you know, closer than you are to me. I could ask him whatever I wanted. So I brought up the fact that, um,

that I read, he knew I read his autobiography because the way I met him is he got into podcasts and he heard the podcast I did on his autobiography. And he starts listening to a bunch. He goes, hey, can I meet this guy? And so I get a message like, Sam Zell wants to meet you. I thought it was like fake. I was like, yeah, he just doesn't want to meet you. This is ridiculous.

So I go, Sam, I bought the book that you talked about that changed. Go back to, there's ideas worth 30, I forgot about this. There's ideas worth billions and a $30 history book. When Sam, Sam Zell was making millions of dollars a year when he was in law school. He's an entrepreneur for 61 years and one of the best to ever do it.

And he picked up a book that changed his life when he was in law school. It's the autobiography is a guy named William Zeckendorf. William Zeckendorf is one of the greatest real estate developers to ever live. In that book, he has this idea he calls the Hawaiian technique. And it works in real estate.

And it worked in real estate when Sam Zell used it, but Sam Zell also realized it works in business, buying private businesses, where he says there's components of a building that the land underneath, you can piece it apart. The land is... will be highly valuable to a certain party. You can sell it to the highest bidder there. And then maybe the leases that somebody else prioritizes that.

So break up the components of the business and sell it to the highest bidder. And the sum of the parts, that's how you make more money, right? And so Sam used that idea, made billions of dollars. He also used it in private business. But- I tell Sam, I go, Sam, I bought Zeckendorf's book. He's like, did you read it? And I go, not yet. And Sam had this, he was famous for his gravelly voice.
