The Most Boring Government Department Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

On today’s show we’re talking about the most boring of bureaucracy and how it’s designed to help you with your due diligence. A few months ago, we spoke about a particular disease called versionitis. This is when the version of a document is out of date and you make decisions based on an out of date or unofficial version of a document. There can be only one golden copy of a document, just like there can be only one copy of your passport.

That’s incredibly important in the world of real estate investing. That’s why the county recorder office has only one job to do. Their job is to maintain official records.

BOM - Holacracy by Brian Robertson Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

Why do we need an org chart? Does it really help bring clarity? It might impress customers, but does it really inform who is doing what functions?

The book this month is "Holacracy: The new management system for a rapidly changing world." by Brian Robertson.

AMA - Can I Develop This Property? Sep 30, 2021

Show notes

This question comes from Jeremy in Virginia. He asks, “I’m working on a concept for a light industrial warehouse building on a property that has some environmentally protected zones. The properties on either side are developed and are zoned light industrial. In addition, there is a tremendous amount of development in the immediate area.

I think the main reason this property hasn’t been developed is the presence of the wetlands on the property. Would you consider developing it, and if so under what conditions?

The Software Inside Amazon Sep 29, 2021

Show notes

Amazon has made a few headlines with the opening of bricks and mortar stores. Amazon is getting retail real estate. The move by Amazon has been seen as a vindication for traditional retailers who are saying “You see, retail is not dead”. Even online Amazon is coming back to retail.

Some people are confused by Amazon and what makes them so successful. It’s not that they’re an online store. They won’t be successful because they have a retail channel. That didn’t do it either.

The thing to remember is that Amazon is a digital startup company. Amazon still behaves like a startup despite its massive size. Amazon is a software company that is not constrained by the history. It’s competitive advantage is that they’re willing to make data driven decisions.

Now Departing From Gate 17, Final Call Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

Economic downturns put entrenched players with market share on the defensive. They experience a drop in revenue and are doing everything they can to hang on financially. Those who can go on the offensive can acquire great business opportunities. Everything seems to be on sale. That’s what it was like in the wake of 2008. The pandemic however, did not create those conditions in a broad sense.

On today’s show we’re talking about the economic impact at an airport.
