So I just finished watching WeCrashed on Apple Tv, and oh boy. Oh boy. I knew about the whole we work fiasco, but just from the valuation aspect and the failed IPO and the trials and whatnot, but the whole story is much broader than that and, I dare say, oddly inspiring. From growing up in a kibbutz to running a business that made baby overalls with built-in knee pads to running a company that was a real estate company but pitching it as a tech company valued at nearly 50 billion dollars, Adam Neumann has had quite the thrill in his 20s. From its inception to Miguel, the entire story of WeWork, the introduction of Rebekkah to the scene is just so much more than what mainstream media portrays it. WeWork became just short of a cult, with everyone striving to follow its messianic leader at the top. And most importantly, the story teaches us the fundamental lesson all businesses must adhere to in this valuation frenzy- well, the very fundamentals of the company at stake. A tale about sheer perseverance, passion, leadership, delusions, the abject world of venture capital in the 21st century, and the goal to “elevate the world’s consciousness.” Don't worry; we will get into all of that as we focus on the story of WeWork from the ground up and what exactly killed it. As always, Thank You so much for taking the time in listening as well as reading this. Do not forget to follow the podcast on any platform you are listening to and review it if you are on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. If you want to get in touch with me, here is everything I am accountable for - Have a great day! > www.linktr.ee/neogyspandan
