I also grew up in a family where my mother was in the real estate business working alongside my father. My father was in the business and I saw the joy that it brought to them. So I think I had these natural positive associations.

They used to send me as a little girl renderings of projects they were about to embark on with notes asking if I would hurry up and finish school so I could come join them. So I had these positive associations, but it came from something within myself. I think that as I got older and as I got involved in real estate, I I realized that it was so multidisciplinary.

You have, of course, the design, but you also have engineering, the brass tacks of construction. There's time management. There's project planning. Just the duration of time to complete one of these iconic structures, it's enormous. You can contribute a decade of your life to one project.

So while you have to think big picture, it means you really have to care deeply about the details because you live with them. So it allowed me to flex a lot of areas of interest.

It's funny because we're all so insecure, right, in the most basic interactions, but yet our ambitions are so unbridled in a way that kind of like makes you blush as an adult. And I think it's fun. It's fun to like tap into that energy. Yeah.

We get conditioned out of that feeling.

We start to become insecure and we start to rely on the input or validation of others. And it takes us away from that sort of core drive and ambition. So it's fun to reflect on that and also to smile, right? Because whether you can execute or not, time will tell. But yeah, no, that was very much my childhood.

I think in some ways you look out at different city skylines and it's almost like a visual depiction of ambition realized, right? Like it's a testament to somebody's dream. Not somebody, a whole... ensemble of people's dreams and visions and triumphs, and in some cases, failures, if the projects weren't properly executed. So you look at these skylines, and it's a testament to that.
