Broker calls and leaves me a voicemail.

He says he has a “land opportunity” that is “off market.”

Ok, if you are a broker calling me, I think your deal is ON market.

Just leaving an in-person meeting with a client in the Midwest. We talked business of course, but just as much about vacation travel and family.

Big smiles all around at the end.

In the days of video and AI, nothing replaces IRL. Pressing the flesh always has a strong ROI.

Datacenters have been part of the US landscape since the 1940's. The need for them has never been greater.

Politics not withstanding, I am long on new data centers in the US.

Perspective is everything.
Life got a lot better when I realized that you find what you’re looking for in life. If you look for pain, suffering, and failure, you’ll find it. If you look for joy, happiness, and success, it will show up. Life on Earth has literally never been better than it is today. The fact that you’re even here is an absolute fucking miracle. If you’re struggling to find good things in your life, fix your perspective.

I was 34 years old and at a not-for-profit fundraising meeting. I’ve always been good at raising dollars. Many of the skills that a tenant rep possesses are transferable to raising dollars for charity.

After the meeting was over, I approached a very senior executive in the room to say hello. I asked him to coffee and suggested that perhaps I could undertake to make some helpful introductions

I remember to this day his steel blue eyes looking back into mine. The smile ran away from his face.

He was highly accomplished, and he said something that I’ve never forgotten.

“I am not looking to expand my social network. I’m doing just fine.”

I deserved it for suggesting that I could help someone so senior, but my offer was authentic. To me, relationships are more valuable than gold that I was offering the most valuable thing I had to try to support him.

But people are different. And some folks live their lives in a closed loop.

Glad I’m not one of them.

For most sales presentations, I do NOT use org charts. On "my" side, we are all one team.

Instead, I use a "virtuous circle." All the names are literally in a circle and no titles are included.

Client sees people in a "rankless" format all there to support the mission - not pacify egos!

Newsweek’s coverage of the Chrysler Building’s $235 million restoration also points to broader office-market context.

For reports and other documents that are produced with AI asstance, I now put an “Origin” statement at the top.

It usually says something like:

“Origin: ideas, prompts, and editing created by ____ (person). Arrangement of the document and research assistance by Claude (or whatever tool we are using at the time).”

As AI becomes more and more a part of what we do every day, I’m trying to be transparent about how information is sourced and created.
