Billion Dollar Loser

I just started last night to read “ Billion Dollar Loser.” The story about WeWork and Co-Founder Adam Neumann. It is hard to put down. Read already half of the book.

He focused early on community more than anything else. He wanted to build an offline social network using co-working spaces. You can understand why he wanted the changing world since in the beginning while you are reading his back story, such as where and how he grew up. His family connections, New York City, and his passion made WeWork one point, “the highest valued company in the private sector “($47B). Then, all the wrongdoing, massive growth, and the aim to transform WeWork “too big to fail” make him lost WeWork (a billion dollar exit package). He had a big dream to make “We Company” every part of Life.

“Think of the stage that we’re in as the books for Amazon,” he said. “They used books to enter into the Everything Store. We used the work mission to enter into a larger category.” What category was that? “The larger category of life.” (Billion Dollar Loser, Reeves Wiedeman)
