Just watched the Hulu documentary on this company. Enthusiasm is infectious.

[@orangewarm1]

One of the greatest salesmen I've ever seen.

[@lehlohonolomakaja9296]

He is my hero. He has a vision and he can sell it to anyone, including and especially the blind.

[@MrDrummerguy33]

The professor may yet end up being vindicated in his original decision.

[@4v3nir]

Shout out to the professor who shot him down! This crazy pitch is BS

[@sciencebeartimberwoods7610]

Turns out the dean was right, after all.

[@blaccrichard]

This didn't date well.

[@sophocles8761]

He has an amazing ability of saying a lot without saying anything - if it wasn't for the fact that Softbank had to invest big to meet its investment quotas then no one would have given this company a second look

[@Kmanjr0]

3yrs late

[@Sanglierification]

When does he come back? :(

[@Neptunian65]

Did I hear Adam say Humanize Earth? WTF

[@amangadpale9284]

Sometimes Professors can track down jerks in their college level

[@cottontail8084]

We Work, They Live.

[@wayne8797]

The prof and the dean should have stood their ground..

[@shlevings]

this is some crazy shit.

[@orangewarm1]

Sister was not a supermodel. A regular model.

[@asmrtingletime4611]

If you want community, move to Burlington Vermont. Boulder Colorado. It turns out cities like these have wonderful sense of community without being a corporate brand. Crazy that anyone thinks yet another brand, another Corp is the answer.

[@AdamDagne]

very smart and very good interview ...keep it up guys

[@MrDarknesstolight]

The funny thing is that he still has hundreds of millions of dollars. Most people mocking Adam Newman now ain't even worth a single million.

[@sophocles8761]

No he doesn't most of his millions in package is valued against the business in options and shares, which he can't sell straight away this is normal because when you get rid of a founder you need to keep them on the hook. The business is worthless today investors have backed off and COVID and he is facing tax and litigation costs - the media always makes him look like a supervillain by saying he has hundreds of millions - the potential is there in theory but not in reality - with his reputation he won't even be able to borrow against those assets

[@waduz4891]

We: Office-scamer Thank you to having me? Clown!

[@leo9lives]

Tony Robbins of real estate

[@NewBalance-pu8ft]

Interviewer unprofessional laugh like a boy in his puberty .

[@franriding6473]

Tell us about how you became a conman

[@sidnistandard60]

Adam is a true conscious visionary!!

[@jordanjackson7171]

in the wake of all the negativity, this dude is talking the truth!

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

ORLY?

[@juxiao9187]

Mr son should have talked to your dean.

[@marufio]

Same stories over and over again

[@romeysiamese6712]

Coke?

[@7sevo7]

lol

[@NewBalance-pu8ft]

Adam Neumann always an inspiring & motivating highlight!

[@tvtt5380]

Slimey guy but damn he's one hell of a talker.

[@ericensley2427]

I wonder if he will use any of his 1.7B to help the laid off employees?....my guess is no...

[@franriding6473]

How can you fail so badly and become a billionaire? Welcome to "capitalism"

[@lehlohonolomakaja9296]

@Michael Agnello Michael, you're my hero for the day. Your comment is spot on and Steve Jobs is good example that big enterprises are built on mistakes. Adam is human and deserves to make one too.

[@charmersify]

Surprisingly, I find parts of his vision attractive:) And yes, Adam is easy on my eyes. With those soulful eyes, soothing voice and clear good-looking face, I would--with proper controls in place--be willing to invest in a start up. I actually fault the central bankers for creating this mess with their fiat money policies. Then the other investors who failed to do their due diligence. I hear that even HE was surprised at how much money was thrown his way to be used freely.

[@fyt54321]

He's hideous. Lose the Italian suit and he'd look like a homeless crackhead. But that is just superficial. His real problem is narcissism and megalomania. His vision to be the "world's first trillionaire", and to "live forever". All while partying, and working real hard having earth-shattering ideas every day. He's obviously a history-making genius of a caliber the world has never seen before. This is all greed and gullibility from Masa, and greed and hubris from Neumann. All foolishness.

[@Commenter9120]

God he talks a lot !

[@TheReactor8]

ALOB

[@gookymo]

WTF, why does this video only have 3K views??? Very good interview, Adam appears to be a very insightful visionary. Interviewer asked great questions.

[@sechysandro5726]

hahhahahha scammer

[@liberoAquila]

Conman lol

[@7sevo7]

We....Grift.

[@Lexx793]

lol he is very good at bullshit.... you walk away feel good about the talk but learn nothing....

[@lliamjurdom9505]

A walking vanity project ... worth 1.7b ... ewwwww

[@turner747]

Jared Leto just can't act. He got the voice right but he was far too intence. The real Adam is much calmer.

[@charlespolanco7427]

This dude 🤣 BS...
