If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Mike Sowers, What is the BIGGEST RISK?
Mike Sowers
I think the BIGGEST RISK is that your ego gets too big, and you think you have it all figured out. Humility is, I think, the strongest asset that any company or individual can have in life, and it's one of our core values at commercial investors group, our system is working really, really well, our software is super sweet. We feel like we have a really good grasp on the market metrics. And we feel like we have the ability to analyze deals, but at the end of the day, we are always humble, and making sure that we're constantly staying in the zone of learning, and getting better, and trying to find new ways to do things that might work better and trying to stay on the cutting edge. That's the mistake, I think at a corporate level a lot of companies make is they do really well. And they're one way and they put the blinders on and they lose sight of what's happening in the market. And the markets change quickly. And so that's why during COVID, a lot of people went under, especially people in offices, and we're heavily invested in office, and we did better in COVID than we've ever done in any prior year. And I think I would attribute that to the fact that we maintain humility, and are willing to learn and willing to admit, in areas that we have issues. In fact, every single week, I spend 90 minutes with my entire management team, putting the issues on the table and working through.
