BIGGEST RISK with Brent Kessler
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross And so if you're willing, I'd like to ask you. Brent Kessler, what is the biggest risk? Brent Kessler Yeah, well, let me answer it a couple different ways on there. But so as far as a risk, okay, as far as in our business, and what we do when you have this type of policy, I tell people all the time, there is no risk at all, because nobody's ever lost money in a whole life insurance policy. But then I stop, and I say, wait a minute, there is one risk. The risk is you, the risk is you the client and how you use the policy. So you're the only one that can screw this up. You...

Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. Travis Watts, What is the BIGGEST RISK? Travis Watts I would say, in 25 we talked a lot about market and rates and the discounts, and you know why we're bullish, or why I'm bullish on multifamily, I would say it's more than ever.

BIGGEST RISK with Mark Goldfinger
Commercial Real Estate Pro Network
J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you, Mark Goldfinger, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Mark Goldfinger I think it's great question. I think in the co working ecosystem, or in the flexible office space, you know, ecosystem, I think one of the biggest risks is landlords starting to take on the opportunity to create their own turnkey sublet solutions for smaller companies, and kind of take business from us. Now, I don't think that they're able to really run the hospitality arm that we are, because that's not their business, and we put a lot of pride into that. But I think that's definitely one thing we...

Commercial Real Estate Pro Network

I'd like to ask you, Richard Wilson, what is the BIGGEST RISK?
Richard Wilson:
For my company, even though we have good managing directors, I think the BIGGEST RISK is myself, you know, I'm driving forward a ton of the new content. You know, when I when I hang up here, we're doing a 1000 person webinar. And I've got someone on my team that could do a webinar on many different topics, but not the same topics I could, you know, fluidly and so it's kind of like a key man risk. And our business, you know, would have to go down to, you know, a skeleton crew if I got hit by a truck this afternoon, and move forward as much smaller business. So I think it's just like many entrepreneurs, getting yourself out of your own way and making sure you're not the bottleneck to growth and making sure that you've got kind of a C level team being groomed and built is part of that but also just thinking through things you know, that are insurance related, honestly related to key man or life insurance, or just You know, if you're disabled and can't work for a while, because think that you know, like most businesses that are like mine with 15 employees, you know, you're trying to grow into a medium sized business from a small business you're in that in between world where, you know, you're constantly trying to push stuff down to the team and get a better quality team.
