"There's a jewelry store chain out west called The Shane Company. The owner has a very distinct voice and his radio ads ran constantly during my entire childhood. I would seriously hear him in my sleep and I can hear it now as I type this. A few years back my phone rang and I recognized the voice immediately. It was him he was interested in one of our properties and wanted to meet. Trouble was -- as he spoke all I could think of was the voice in the commercials. It was ingrained in my mind. He would say a few words and I kept thinking the radio was on. It was the weirdest thing ever and I"

Its funny when someones shoe falls off right I explained that when funny things happen even if they happen to us its really fun to laugh along with everyone else. His face lit up.

"It happened again this morning and its sadly becoming a joke at this point. I walked into Starbucks and the shelf that just a couple of days ago was full of holiday merchandise for the new season was completely empty. Again. When I asked the barista they confirmed it: someone walked in calmly cleared the shelves and walked out without a care. They of course arent allowed to stop them - that would be nonsensical. The barista told me that even if they call the police it takes hours for them to arrive and nothing happens anyway. This is just the new normal. The folks at Target told me the same"

Being able to buy all-cash allowed me to look at the real estate deal purely for its potential. I wasnt held back by debt coverage ratios and all the obstacles that stand in the way of the next great deal because you need to satisfy a lender"

Instead of telling me which dealerships actually have the car they want to contact a few of them directly. Then if one of those dealerships also happens to want a car that my dealership has in stock theyll swap - kind of like trading inventory.
