In this episode, host David Abrams is in conversation with Peter Riguardi Chairman & President, New York Region at JLL. Peter's career journey in commercial real estate began early on, watching his father work in property management and then having the opportunity to learn from many experts in the business before embarking with a group of colleagues to start their own company in 1989. He would later sell that firm to JLL in 2002 and has been at JLL ever since. I love how Peter gives credit to his family for teaching him the value of showing people respect. He also provides a valuable lesson about situations where you can “control the work” by striving for exclusivity, rather than competing with other brokers, even if it means smaller assignments. Peter is seeing an increase in people coming back to the workplace and occupiers using the office to competitively attract talent. He has also noticed a significant push to the best office buildings, regardless of their location. With 460 million square feet of office space in NYC, only time will tell how much space use will have to change. We both agreed that the industry needs to seek innovative and creative solutions to meet emerging needs in CRE, as it continues to compete with the many options where people can choose to work.

If you're a business owner, it is absolutely critical that you have a great business relationship with your banker. And these days, not all banks are built the same. You have these these huge banks where you just feel like just a number. And then you can also bank with a banker who knows what he's doing and really pays attention to his customers. And by that I mean Bill Lowe, the Chairman President and CEO of Harmony Bank.

Ikuo Yasuda is the Chairman, President and CEO of Pinnacle Inc. (IMAP Japan) and is an expert in M&A business in Japan with over 30 years of experience. Mr. Yasuda graduated from Hitotsubashi University in the late 70s and entered the Long-term Credit Bank of Japan (currently Shinsei Bank) where he eventually became a Joint General Manager. After over 20 years at LTCB, Mr. Yasuda was headhunted by General Electric International Japan (GE) where he worked with Jack Welch managing business development and M&A. Mr. Yasuda also served as Country Head of Lehman Brothers Japan and Head of its investment banking department.   Mr. Yasuda says compared to a Japanese company, western companies are very much performance driven. Unlike a Japanese company, age is not a determining factor in their status, as Mr. Yasuda's boss at GE was younger than him, and there is no seniority system. He adds that management and executive level workers also do much of the front-line work, talking to clients and making presentations. Due to the nature of such a results-driven working environment, Mr. Yasuda says he had to be very strict with his subordinates, yet at the same time, motivate them and allow freedom in how they reached their goals. He took the Ame to muchi (Whip and candy) approach in leadership, learning from his boss who took a similar style. Moreover, as his bosses were superior to him regardless of their age, and had much more decision-making power than Japanese companies, he felt more pressure to produce results. Mr. Yasuda explains that one of the “GE way” was to stretch one's goals. For example, his team will set a goal of 15% instead of a more realistic 10%, and push themselves to reach over 10% in the end.   After GE, Mr. Yasuda worked at Lehman Brothers as the Country Head of Japan. When Mr. Yasuda joined Lehman, he felt a different kind of pressure from working at GE. As GE's head of business development, Mr. Yasuda was required to make a series of acquisitions and develop new businesses. As CEO of Lehman Brothers Japan, Mr. Yasuda was hired to rebuild the Japan branch that had decreased and was responsible for producing profitable ROE.   After Lehman, Mr. Yasuda became interested in founding his own business, combining what he had learned from both cultures. As a result, Pinnacle, an M&A advisory firm, was born. When recruiting for people in the firm, Mr. Yasuda was able to receive great PR appearing on the Nikkei newspaper article as well as being a TV commentator on a nationally broadcasted news show on TBS, which prompted many talent people in finance to apply. Moreover, Mr. Yasuda sought to target CEOs of corporations and built up his client base by setting up lunch appointments and golfing. Mr. Yasuda also took full advantage of his business network, being part of many business leader associations, including the Tokyo Rotary Club. He explains, when the M&A research begins from the ground-level and is brought up to the CEO, the executive is more likely to turn it down because of the risk factors written up in the reports provided to him. However, by capturing the CEOs' interests first, Mr. Yasuda thinks the M&A will most likely be implemented.   As for the future of M&A, Mr. Yasuda thinks more and more companies will be interested in order to increase their ROE. He mentions there is much more that M&A can do with Private Equity Fund and business successions in which companies do not have a successor. Additionally, Mr. Yasuda points out that the country is going through a post-industrial revolution with the rapid-changes due to technology. This will also impact the growth of M&A.   On advice to foreign nationals leading in Japan, Mr. Yasuda says, it is important to understand the Japanese corporate culture, which can be unproductive at times. Secondly, he advises to be patient when doing business in Japan. He further explains, the Japanese market is fiercely competitive, which is something foreigners sent to Japan from headquarters would have to explain continuously. The key to a successful M&A in Japan would also be a gradual process, winning trust from a minority and slowly gaining more ownership.   Mr. Yasuda defines leadership as someone who is the most productive person in the organization and can lead by example. In this way, he thinks one can earn the trust and respect of the team. Moreover, Mr. Yasuda values fairness and treating his employees equally, and being transparent with how they are compensated based on their performance.

Adam Schechter is the Chairman, President, and CEO of LabCorp, a leading global life sciences company, with a presence in over 100 countries and annual revenue of $14 billion.  LabCorp has become a household name during the global pandemic, and Adam was only a few months into his role as CEO when Covid-19 hit.  He has a fascinating story of pivoting to scale the company to respond to this unforeseen challenge, and how he did it all while expanding LabCorp's reach beyond its core of diagnostics, into life sciences and health. In getting to know Adam, I found we both share a passion for water – and by that I mean we both care deeply about improving access to clean water globally.  Nearly 1 million people die each year from diseases that could be prevented if families have access to safe water and sanitation. Adam is helping to close that gap as Chairman of the Board of Water.org. I also loved hearing his thoughts, as a diagnostic leader integral to our Covid response, on the top three things we need to do to be better prepared for future health crises.

Aerion plans to bring back the Golden Age of Flying, only this time, it will be done by an environmentally conscious, technology-innovative company. Tom Vice, Chairman, President and CEO of Aerion, lends his expertise in supersonic aviation to the podcast for a conversation with host Grayson Brulte on all things Aerion, plus insights into why the aviation industry stopped innovating and what the future holds.   Tom walks us through his journey into aviation, from watching every Apollo launch on a small, black and white TV to working on the B2 Bomber to the “most incredible thing” he worked on at Northrop Grumman: the James Webb Space Telescope, which Tom believes could be the tool that finds life beyond Earth. Tom recalls the lessons he’s learned along the way and how they have shaped his vision for innovation and sustainability.   Tom shares the vision for Aerion Connect, which builds out the entire travel ecosystem and experience—FBOs, travelling to-from airports, airplanes—to allow travelers to experience the joy of travelling once again. All of this aligns with Aerion’s vison to connect any two points in the world within three hours in a more compassionate and empathetic way, without spending so much time in an airplane. Essentially, get to your destination, enjoy your destination, and learn and love from it.   Next, we step into Aerion’s highly anticipated AS2 jet and hear plans for when it will start soaring through the sky. We learn about the fully customizable, highly digitized, “Whisper Quiet” cabin; how “Boomless Cruise” is a game changing supersonic technology that’s closer to commercial reality than most people think; and how the AS2 can reinvent business by cutting significant travel times.   The conversation digs deeper into the second revolutionary aspect that Aerion is perfecting: new fuels and power sources. Tom shares how customers, investors and the general public appreciate Aerion’s commitment using biofuels that are kind to our planet and are excited to see the AS2’s aerodynamically clean and efficient engine. Grayson and Tom touch upon Aerion’s partnership with Canadian-based Carbon Engineering and how they are setting Aerion’s advancements apart from the industry.   Throughout the conversation, Tom touches on Aerion 2050, the company’s strategic plan to go to hypersonic, branch into supersonics for commercial aviation, what future fuel and power sources will make this a reality, the AS3, and take us inside of Aerion Park in Melbourne, Fla., where the AS2 will be designed, built and tested.   To close out, Grayson and Tom discuss why aerospace innovation, specifically with supersonic jets, stopped in the mid-20th Century. From the difficult challenges to overcome environmental and noise concerns to the increased focus on revenue and dollars in commercial aviation, Tom discusses why aerospace, once of the birthplace of innovation, became stagnant; but offers optimism for what the future holds for the industry.   Learn more about Aerion at www.aerionsupersonic.com.   Subscribe to SAE Tomorrow Today or visit www.sae.org/podcasts to stay up to date on all the latest information from SAE.

Ray Hoffman interviews Warren Stephens about the history of Stephens Inc., and Northwest Arkansas. The difficult effects of the Great Depression on a rural community sparked the rise of tough entrepreneurs who became the industrialists of the area, and brought prosperity to replace poverty. Many of the great Arkansas companies were helped along the way by the Stephens family. Listen in to learn more.   Key Takeaways: [:25] Arkansas has produced a disproportionate number of major companies, such as Wal-Mart, and the investment banking firm, Stephens, Inc., that helps companies like Walmart to grow and prosper. Stephens, Inc. has been led by Warren Stephens since 1986. Warren’s father and siblings grew up picking cotton on the farm. [1:49] There is something in Arkansas that encourages leadership in individuals, such as Sam Walton, Charles Murphy, Bill Dillard, J.B. Hunt, and the Tyson family. Matt Waller, Dean of the Walton Business School at the University of Arkansas speculates that it’s a toughness and a belief that “We can do this. We can make our lives better.” [2:42] Albert Stephens, Warren’s grandfather, lived off of selling pieces of the farm, until there wasn’t much left to sell and they had to farm it. Warren’s uncle made it his life’s mission to piece back together all the land that had once been in the family. Today, Warren’s cousins own about 3,000 acres. [3:40] Warren’s uncle, Witt Stephens was in the belt buckle and Bible business, and was really good at it. His father advised him to go into the bond business, when Arkansas bonds were trading at $.10 on the dollar in 1933. [4:21] Uncle Witt took a bank loan of either $15,000 or $25,000 — no one remembers which — and started buying bonds at $.10. He sold them to customers, and kept some. By 1940, they were trading at par, which was a great return for him and his clients. As Sir John Templeton once said, “Buy when there’s blood running in the streets.” [5:06] Witt, and Warren’s father, Jack, started investing in natural gas, and other businesses all around the state. Witt gave credit to one of FDR’s programs, the Rural Electrification Program, that was designed to bring electricity to poor regions. [5:54] Witt bought the Sheridan telephone exchange to run a phone line to his parent’s home. Witt sold it to the Wilbourn family, who started Allied Telephone, and built enormous numbers of land lines across the state. Allied later became Alltel. [6:56] In college, Warren worked summers at Stephens, Inc. at the trading desk. With an MBA, Warren started full-time in 1981. Witt and Jack owned the company, and Warren picked their brains a lot. [7:39] Warren’s dad told him, “I wanted to be in business the next day.” He also said, “You can’t ever take a risk - if you lose it all, you endanger the ability of the firm to survive.” Everything can go wrong at once. When it does, in investments, it’s ugly. [8:54] In the 1960s, Stephens moved into private equities. In 1968, they started a bank data processing company. They also had a life insurance company, and it loaned money to Sam Walton to build his first stores. In 1970, Stephens, with White Weld, managed the Walmart IPO. It was one of the best things to happen for Stephens. [10:54] Warren discusses capitalism. After this last crisis, people wonder if the capitalist system is really the right system. Warren suggests the average consumer does not understand the many profitable layers that contribute to their ability to purchase the product they want, when they want it. Young people don’t see the connection. [12:31] The cell phone wasn’t created by government. Warren noted in a WSJ editorial that young people reject capitalism and the free market, but celebrate entrepreneurism and free enterprise! He doesn’t think they understand what capitalism is. Warren says that the youth didn’t see Eastern Europe collapse under communist socialism. [13:48] Warren suggests education on capitalism would help eliminate the disconnect between popular views and the facts. The This is Capitalism series is an effort to educate about successful capitalist entrepreneurs, past and present, and to show the impact they have had on communities and employees. [14:19] Warren talks about the development of Northwest Arkansas through capitalism, from Walmart, to J.B. Hunt, to the University of Arkansas and more. The Waltons have given generously to the University. Alice Walton has built an incredible art museum. Warren compares 1960s Northwest Arkansas with the same area today. It is thriving.   Mentioned in This Episode: Stephens Inc, Stephens Viewpoints: Podcasts.com/podcasts Warren A. Stephens The Great Depression Walmart Dillard Tyson Murphy Oil J.B.
