David Haber

You know, he wasn't there in person, but, you know, when I met with the board, Charlie Munger was still on the board.

And I think you guys served together for 30 years.

30 years, yeah.

You know, he's such a legend.

I guess, you know, what did you learn from Charlie Munger over those few decades?

I mean, it's pretty unbelievable.

All the way to his death.

Yeah.

I mean, that is remarkable.

So I want to transition to Blackstone, which I think most people know you for because you had such a huge impact on the growth of that business.

You know, talk through kind of when you first met Steve Schwartzman.

I know it was kind of before you joined the firm.

Sure, yeah.

And what was sort of the conversation like, you know, for him getting you to join?

Yeah, okay.

Well, and I guess, like, you know, you could have obviously started your own firm.

You know, most of the people I've, you know, spoken to, whether it was –

Joe Parata or Michael Che or, you know, David Blitzer, like any of these folks talk about kind of Blackstone before Tony James and Blackstone after Tony James.

I mean, because you joined, I think, what, 17 years after the firm's founding.

Thereabouts, yeah.
