@stevegarthwaite @realEstateTrent @GeorgeWTrumpWon How much faster is your flight in biz class ?

@realEstateTrent @GeorgeWTrumpWon Business class is buying your time back. The jackass saying it’s a waste of money doesn’t have enough responsibilities to return to. The best deal in town is the exit row. But business class is far from a waste.

The responses to this are wild. To those who think this is crazy and and that people who can afford business travel business, I offer this: When one of the wealthiest and most sophisticated people I know was considering investing in our real estate fund. He asked me tons of detailed questions over multiple calls. His last question, before he'd decide if he wanted to proceeed: “Don, do you fly business class for work?” My answer: “I don’t fly business class during the day - but if the circumstances are such that I need to take a redeye, I fly business so I can sleep - but I pay the difference out of pocket.” He nodded and smiled. “Good. Business class is an absolute waste of money.”

@adamstatonsmith @Anniesaysitsok I’m wearing one now lol

@Anniesaysitsok @benjaminbach Give them a patagucci vest with a logo that’s 2”x2” It will get worn 50x a year

I want to know what is some of the best CRE brokerage or business swag you've ever received. Working on ordering some promo products for the office and- Wow, there's a lot out there. I like things that are useful and compact but keeping an open mind.

@Anniesaysitsok Make the vest look like a nascar car. Logos from title companies , lenders, PMs, lawyers, who pay to get on. Make the swag a profit centre

@benjaminbach Absolutely getting it all priced out and just keep wondering “am I cheap?!”

@PinkPoloShorts I hope not sporadically

A totally important designer.

@AdamHKlein You get ESG points for that

Random observation 🚨 I was in a brand new construction warehouse and the roll up doors were manual, which surprised me.

Imagine how much more productive this warehouse space could be at 3:15 in the afternoon

@ChadGriffiths @Hedgeye They’re nuts

@Hedgeye Big Almond must have a very powerful lobby arm

Indigo's online store is now on @Shopify. Millions of products. 135 locations. A true Canadian icon. But Indigo isn't just a bookstore. It's nearly 30 years of reinvention. I've known Heather Reisman for years. She raised $25 million and built Indigo from the ground up into Canada's largest bookseller. She's one of the most determined founders I've ever met. From Canadian builder to Canadian builder. Welcome to Shopify, Indigo.

@AdamHKlein You can sue for performance of a contract and then have judgement enforced a number of ways. In terms of brokerage it often depends who owes you the money - the other broker or the owner. Remedies are different but exist. I am not a lawyer.

@benjaminbach Florida is a lien state. Is Canada (or its provinces)?

Tracking and chasing the second half of leasing commissions is exhausting. There must be a better way.

@Anniesaysitsok @AdamHKlein If that’s agreed to it’s a different story.

@AdamHKlein Feel this. We have a legacy landlord we work with that does annual commission… 😵‍💫

@oyega001 @harleyf @F1 @CanadiensMTL Buy it all

@benjaminbach @harleyf @F1 @CanadiensMTL Do you want to buy habs gear start or you need a shopify store for the sales of your habs gear?

x2 @F1 + @CanadiensMTL 🔥

@Chazzym22 I always ask about annual sales and foot traffic patterns. Get some weird looks, but get some good intel

The most boomer thing ever is waiting in a restaurant line forever staring at the menu and when they finally get to the cash register they start asking questions: “Sure is busy. Is it usually this busy”? “Tell me about the ________(points to menu item)”? “What is your favorite item”?

Venez pour le but, restez pour la célébration Come for the tally, stay for the celly #GoHabsGo

@realEstateTrent You should buy their HQ and mirror this in the next renewal

Dear Unnamed Software Company who just sent me a renewal offer: I've never seen an "Annual CPI + 3%" increase - and I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and pretend that was sent in error. We are going to soon find out how much you actually value this "relationship" I am not in the mood for this game.

@Eli_Albrecht Get a helmet achi

Sundays when you clone yourself a little buddy to hang out with.
