🤔 Talk to me when you CEO

My Mom and I often play guessing games.

When we’re in a restaurant, we’d guess how much the restaurant can make in a day. Driving through new neighborhoods, we’d guess how much the homes are worth. Is it any surprise that my mom was an accountant?

I have a distinct memory of playing this game as we drove through Downtown LA together. I had recently moved to the area for work. We marveled at the endless glass, concrete, and offices.

The game began. How many businesses do you buildings do you think there are in that one building?

She, having worked more than I have, told me that one of these towers alone can house anywhere from 50–100 businesses.
