BIGGEST RISK with Pamela Eyring
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you, Pamela Eyring, what is the BIGGEST RISK?, Pamela Eyring I think the biggest risk that you can control, but is the assumption that your people that you've hired or even has worked for your company for. Long period of time knows what they don't know. And I think that assumption is a risk, because a lot of times they say, Well, you should already know this. This is common sense, but it's not, not today. You can't control the tariffs. You can't control the political scene right now, or war. We have no control over that, but we have control over our people...

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. Niv Davidovich, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Niv Davidovich Risk in being a real estate owner? J Darrin Gross However you wanted to. It's up to you to find what you consider to be the biggest risk. Niv Davidovich I guess I'm I'm somewhat tainted, because the things that I deal with are either the expensive evictions or the expensive or difficult habitability claims. So to me, I'm always going to see that as the potential risk. I can't really necessarily speak to market conditions, you know, because I think the people who bought the offices...

BIGGEST RISK with Gary Eastman
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you, Gary Eastman, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Gary Eastman Okay, so this is a great question, and I think there are two risks that kind of embed themselves in everything that we see today, at least from the surety bond perspective. One financing risk, right? Because those are the you know, the amount of capital available is going down if the cost of capital is going up. And the second part is labor. We are, we're short of labor, and so we're going to continue to be short of labor. So those two things are an interplay all the time. And so we see, you know,...

BIGGEST RISK with Beau Turner
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you, Beau Turner, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Beau Turner Well, I think the Bitcoin network itself is very challenging to find any sort of risk in, and I think that would be surprising to most people to hear. But part of the reason it is such an incredible innovation is how it is designed to be resilient in almost any case. I mean, like, short of a forever nuclear winter and the Internet going down forever everywhere, there's not really a legitimate way to take this network out. So what I would say the risk is for our business, since we're in the mining space, is...

BIGGEST RISK with Andy Mathews
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. Andy Matthews, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Andy Mathews Well, that's a great question, and I know you framed it as switching gears from our last topic, but I think there's a way in which it, it is related to the use of things like AI. And my answer is, the biggest risk that I can think of is failure to stay on top of the things that that impact you and your industry or your your realm, and that applies equally to to me and my clients. I mean my clients, like I said, you know, if we're still using the the AI example, ignore AI and its and its offerings...

info_outlineDarrin: Lior, the BIGGEST RISK question there, but I appreciate you, you kind of taking us through it.
Lior: If you asked me what risk is, risk is not knowing what you're doing. That is that is the BIGGEST RISK. The second biggest risk is not knowing the people you're investing in. The smaller the business, the more you need to know about the people running it. The bigger the business, the less you need to know about the people running it because the the culture is already set for growth. So when you invest in Google, you don't need to know the 40,000 employees and how their life are going, etc. You need to know that, hey, this is a culture of a company that is growing at such and such. This is the industry that it's in. These are their competitors. But you don't need to know like everything about the CEO. When you invest in a small cap company or in one particular house, you need to know all about it because the risk is huge. So when you asked me a risk, when the more you go towards I'd say safer investments, the less research you need to know about the actual people. The more you dove into a speculative areas where you can make much more money. That is true. You need to know all about what you're doing. So it's a function of how much time you have and what is your capability to self assess yourself. Can you even, Is your research worth something? In other words, do you know what to ask? Do you know what to look for? And if you don't, then look, there is there is a machine out there that makes you about 8 to 9 percent your money every year if you do nothing but invest in one thing and just stay the course. So 8 to 9 percent a year, you double your money in every five to six years. I think if you have a good career, which is always the number one thing to take care of, then, you know, investments can be very profitable for you.
