Welcome to Episode 111 of the Mobile Home Park Investors podcast, hosted by Jefferson Lilly and Brad Johnson, with the Park Street Partners. In this last and final installment, Jefferson wraps up his book report on Am I Being Too Subtle? by Sam Zell. Sam has made over a billion dollars in smart investments in industries such as real estate, energy, manufacturing, healthcare, and more. Jefferson was curious to read Sam's book for his real estate and mobile home knowledge and shares what he has learned in this 3-part series.
Key Takeaways:
[1:05] Sam noticed that young people were delaying marriage in the early 2000's and staying in '24-hour cities.' So, he redistributed his capital.
[4:15] In 2006, Sam bought the Chicago Tribune newspaper and gave his staff skin in the game.
[6:20] Sam believes in globalization and has increased his international investments over the years.
[7:20] However, Sam is not a fan of Europe due to too many pensioners, which he predicts would mean for higher taxes.
[10:40] How was Sam able to grow his business to the next level?
[11:40] Sam doesn't want to be treated like a boss and he makes sure he is not surrounded by 'yes men.'
[12:05] What is Sam's hiring process?
[14:10] Can entrepreneurship be taught? Sam believes that people have an entrepreneurial gene and that it's stronger in some than others.
[15:10] You cannot be successful without giving to others.
[16:55] Jefferson lists nine of Sam's philosophy principles for success.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
