RIP Mr Zell. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom and knowledge over the years 🙏

[@davidross8233]

This was a fantastic episode and will go down as one of Sam’s last important talks. I’ve learned so much from him over the years.

From Zell I learned the importance of Liquidity/Value and Equity partners.

Excellent podcast. I loved this show from the word go. Sam Zell has inspired me with pearls of wisdom. He has indeed created some good best practices that we can rely on.

[@Kaali_Mataa]

Wow listening to his best deals truly showed his tenacity for catching ideas and executing them to perfection. I have read up on this man to the best of my abilities and I had no ideas about Mucinex, thanks for this Meb. I knew this subscription would pay off! Keep ‘em coming🎉🎉

Zell's opinion that work from home is B.S is proportional to his positions in office REITS. It's not everyone who has 3 kids at home and pets to distract them. In the office, co-workers always want to talk about their non work related activities such as skying, watching the ball game, a BBQ they attended. The workers listening to this spiel have to politely listen to this stuff and ask questions to appear to be interested. People working from home don't have to deal with this, some have even taken up more jobs because they're able to accomplish their tasks in less time and have time left over to do more work. Employees are able to work as if they were consultants. Employee also save travel time, which means if they have a lot to get done, they potentially have 2 to 3 hours more per day to get things done. I expect office towers will be re-packaged as condos since there's a large demand for residential and not so much for office.

If you want to be promoted, you will be in the office. That's not going to change any time soon.

[@HepCatJack]

@@MrYabbles it's already changed. Plenty of businesses are doing business from home for the last 15 years promotions included. These businesses are more resilient come hard times because they don't have to pay office rental costs.

[@nickthequick]

So Zell has been selling (no pun intended) for the last seven to eight years; it would have been interesting to know where he had placed the proceeds.

[@commoditiesRforme495]

He placed it all in cash.

[@georgelien]

This is priceless

The interviewer is really shallow and distraction with his irrelevant comments.His podcast would be better if found a replacement

[@BradKaellner]

New investors love chasing upside. The old dogs (Buffett, Druckenmiller, Zell) focus on the downside. There are old investors and there are bold investors, but there are no old bold investors 🤣

[@leenestle]

I was listening to a talk Druckenmiller did last week where he said he his returns now would not be what they were when he was in his 30s as he won’t pull the trigger on an investment as quickly, so to your point, not as bold as he may have once been.

[@ggttuuxx]

You got it all wrong. A portfolio that is 80% cash today, and a couple years later holding 80% risk assets, is much much more bold, than the mindless boy who is fully invested at all times.

[@lorenzmuller3542]

@@ggttuuxx Fully agree. These folks started very different from what they are perceived to be.
