I don’t know if you’ve ever stopped to think about it, but the system isn’t designed for you to thrive. It’s designed for you to depend on it. On a salary someone else pays you. Basically, you’re the main character in a joke that isn’t funny. Because if you depend, you don’t decide. Yes… you don’t decide even if you vote… And, if you don’t decide, you don’t disrupt. ​ The problem starts when you begin asking questions: Well… When you start asking those kinds of questions, you begin to see the world differently.

No. And your first step could start right here. ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment? - Price $29.90​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

But… What it didn’t have… For years… … was the person appointed to protect the public interest. A chair. Welcome to one of my favourite PPP horror movies. Metronet. The company responsible for upgrading and maintaining large parts of the London Underground under a PPP. The issue is that Transport for London appointed a Partnership...
There you are in front of the guys from the government. Ten projects. Billions in investment. A slide deck so polished it should have its own LinkedIn account. Across the table, an experience contractor smiles. “Very exciting.” And then… back to his mobile phone… He checks the calendar. The team needed to bid your PPP is also wanted on a data centre, an energy project and a private industrial development. Tight schedule. Limited resources. All four projects will have problems. That is one of...
Infrastructure investors used to love a simple story. Capacity. Traffic. Revenue. Return. Easy stuff. A port handles more containers. A road carries more vehicles. And so on… Everyone opens Excel. Everyone smiles. Then the Strait of Hormuz says: Cute model. I love you… Welcome to geopolitics… force majeure or insurability… Now, the spreadsheet needs therapy. If you follow the news that doesn’t talk about Trump, you probably know that the Gulf is now accelerating investment in ports, pipelines...
