This week, we’re counting down the
top 5 episodes of 2022.
Without further ado, the number 1 show of 2022 is Sam Zell – Common
Sense and Uncommon Profits. Sam is the chairman of Equity Group
Investments, a private investment firm he founded more than 50
years ago. Sam has a storied track record of turning around
troubled companies and assets, leading industry consolidations, and
bringing companies to the public markets. His current investments
canvass logistics, health care, manufacturing, energy, and real
estate. Sam was recognized five years ago by Forbes as one of the
100 Greatest Living Business Minds, and he’s still going
strong.
Our conversation covers Sam’s childhood background, early
entrepreneurial efforts, formation of his investment strategy, and
comfort being a contrarian. We then turn to Sam’s thoughts on team
development, evaluating people, real estate, generational
businesses, emerging markets, and opportunities for the future.
Thanks so much for tuning in this year. Here’s to a very
happy and healthy New Year.
