You'll ignore the signs

It’s one of those images that were hidden. They remained unnoticed to me until two and a half years ago… when my child was born. Cigarette butts. You see them on the floor on every street, on every public square, on every children playground, in Spain. Despite signals. Despite campaigns by the government. Despite science. Despite basic education. Despite the ability to read the “smoking kills” of every package. People are attached to old habits despite they know they are bad. No matter what you try to persuade, they won’t change. They are doomed. They are condemned. The same happens in other aspects of life, not just that unhealthy habit. Getting attached to toxic couple. Getting attached to toxic jobs. Getting attached to poisonous pay checks. Never looking for a way out… That is evident many times. You have the signs. The information. The models. And still… you won’t use that way out. Don’t believe me? Here you are a sign. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

Then… You check LinkedIn and notice the company has more Vice Presidents than assistants, associates, managers, and project managers...
These days I’ve been asked many times what I think about the Conejo Malo. Or Bad Bunny. Until the Super Bowl I had no idea who was the guy. I don’t listen to much music those days… So as he is only 31, I guess that I have not heard much of his songs. And still this is irrelevant. People like judging more than complaining. And my answer about the question is simple. Whoever has what you don’t have knows what you don’t know. And whoever has achieved what you haven’t achieved has done what you...
By the answers of yesterday’s email, I see that people love Canada. I do. So here you are more meat. Montreal… or as we say in Montreal… Montréal. Early 2010s. Project: McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) PPP Value: ~ CAD $1.3 billion Model: DBFM Canada again. Sophisticated market. Experienced advisers. Polished risk matrices. I was there practising kung fu and delivering infrastructure. The goal? Deliver one of the largest hospital redevelopments in North America through PPP. And make it...
