We know we have to take it one on one and have to be very careful in in how often we do that.
Um, so at the height of the We Work um meltdown, when it was in the newspaper every single day and and you know, kind of yeah and kind of you know reach reaching its its endpoint, I talked to a friend of mine who is one of the legends of the real estate world, who I won't name, but um is a very, very credible, very famous real estate guy.
He said, Look, he's like whatever people say uh about this whole thing, he said, Look, there are only two people in the history of the world who have built brands, built compelling brands where people care about uh the brand, uh care about
the name on the building uh for commercial real estate and the history of the entire world.
And he said one of them is president of the United States.
And the other is Adam Newman.
And so he said peop people need to understand, like, yeah, this is not like whatever.
It's going this one's going sideways now.
But like this guy is like a generational or all time talent in that industry at doing that.
And and of course, not just the brand, but like the ash the value, you know, the value proposition, like the the the the thing that's underneath that.
That really stuck with me.
Right.
Cause and then that was up against the absolute wall of negativity, right, at the time where people were just tripping all over themselves to just say the worst possible things they could about the guy.
And then yeah, and then we we got to know him after that.
Um and you know, as it as you know, like became you know thoroughly convinced or rein reinforced our view that he was a a generational talent.
And I I and I say, yeah, we feel very strongly that that that that is the case.
And we're we're very happy with that investment.
I don't think we've individual individual deals that are really controversial internally because we we we could so the deal we kind of make with all of our investing partners is they all get to go out on the limb and do the things that other people are gonna think are dumb.
They don't generally like backbite each other on that.
The bigger issue I think is probably more and I put this more on Ben and me than anybody else, but it's just like, okay, what are the kinds of investments that we do?
