Episode Highlight:

01:37 - When I first started in commercial estate, the debt guys were debt guys, the equity guys were equity guys, and  they didn't talk very much to each other. They didn't communicate, and in many cases, they didn't even like each other. I mean debt doesn't go anywhere without equity. Equity is supreme no matter what. Yet the way it was set up, depending on your definition of the equity side, there was a sort of a caste system in place. What I discovered is that you can't do one without the other. Yes, equity is king. I knew that. Without equity, nothing happens.
