Curious what’s driving talent out your door? (Hint: it’s not comp)
I just returned from a 3 day retreat w CHROs & DEI leads from large banks, insurers, and media companies. Half way through, it became clear that most have lost track of what matters.

@BillBrewsterTBB@YouTube Man takes me back!!! Webster hall in 08.
Terminal 5 show with Mayer Hawthorne was just silly. suburban white guys singing 1980s funk silky 🔥
@jakewoolf If you’re charging near-Alden pricing, give me a welt. Blake at this price isn’t a crime, but it’s not a flex either.
Trendy “ruched toe” / timeless Weejuns does a lot of lifting. half the shoe will look dated in 3 yrs & the other half you could’ve bought for $200.
I found a dog walking the streets this morning. called the owner constantly but no reply. walk the dog to their home. finally owner picks up the phone and gives me the gate code. havent heard back since. no thank you. what's wrong with people? id be sending a gift basket
@CapitalJurassic Remember building out quarry by quarry divestiture analysis for antitrust approval during Florida rock Vulcan. Shipping radius is the name of the game folks
Terry Smith committed a literal purge on his portfolio this quarter pivoting strategies from quality to momentum/growth
Massive redemptions as well... yikes.
@juan_gonzalesP Dont think you understand debt/EBITDAR. if you capitalize the leases at 8x and add them to EV, you must use EBITDAR — pre-rent earnings — in the denominator.
