Charlie Rose was a disgusting joke. So glad he's disappeared into forced retirement. He was okay with authors and poets and non-famous artists, but Charlie has spent his entire career fawning over and brown-nosing anyone famous, especially if they are really rich and a corporate titan or tech entrepreneur. Charlie can get his head far enough up their arse. Disgusting old perv. // Gayle quotes: "No schmucks no jerks" lol ... Adam Neumann is both. So the rule only applies to the dopes who are WeCustomers, not to the WeLeadership.
So, Neuman, same as Elizabeth Holmes, both got advice form their professors not to start companies with deceiving ideas and business models that don't work.
It’s really interesting that in both Elizabeth Holmes case and Adam Neumann, there were professors that leveled with them, but those in the banking, legal, and in Holmes case scientific community bought what they sold. I think there’s something to be said about intelligent people who have no stake in what your selling giving you their unvarnished opinion of your business ideas…
I don’t believe you can compare wework to theranos. I don’t believe he ever lied about product . Those professors were obviously wrong when it comes to Adam and not most average people are able to see the future of thought and ideas so they are quick to put them down. In my opinion welive is an amazing idea!!
The WE idea was good, it just wasn't well executed, they grew too fast, spended money carelessly on things that weren't a must yet saved on things that were needed, and lost control. I was a member in Santiago and the building was always half broken, either the elevator didn't work, or the bathrooms looked half broken and there weren't not enough of them, or it was the printers turn to not work, or the quiet rooms were unavailable because the chairs on them had been broken for days. Their community managers had a hard job putting fires down and it looked like wework overworked them, at some point I think that I saw them cleaning the common areas which made me wonder if they did not have enough money to hire more janitors, so the community managers had to deal with that also, saving money on salaries while their ceo was partying like a Rockstar. No wonder it did not work
What’s such a good idea about it? A regular company sinks a great deal of money into office space because it allows their employees to work and generate income. In a work share, the work share company pays the high cost for commercial space, except instead of the space allowing them to reach business goals, simply collecting user fees IS the business model. Pretty limiting. Hilarious in this video them touting their “revolutionary” approach to housing, which appears to be one of those standard 5 Over Ones which are ubiquitous
Partying like a rockstar, and committing legit fraud on his investors/employees. It is RIDICULOUS to operate a business the way they were, buying up trademarks and selling them back to himself, buying properties and selling them back to himself, that’s just bleeding the company dry. And it’s not a viable business concept even if he wasn’t a crook, that’s why it’s not the way things are done.
Good idea? This isn't new. This is short-term office leasing with ikea furniture, free beer and sloganeering. Short-term office leasing is incredibly risky. It has low margin when the economy is good and completely fails the moment the economy gets bad. WeWork achieved the market cap it had by convincing venture capitalists with no real estate experience to invest in a business that only prioritized growth and not actual return. At best Adam in incompetent. At worst he's a scam artist that targeted ultra-wealthy suckers with money to burn.
Astonishing that Adam Neumann and his wife were able to get additional financing after the loss of billions. BT Barnum was right, "There is a sucker born every minute." Some of them have a lot of money, like the guys as SoftBank.
plenty of large companies (including Uber) lose billions before ever turning a profit in order to gain market share, this was and is a popular VC strategy. it's demented, and is basically the opposite of what capitalism is about, but has turned out to be a profitable way to monopolize a market and reap the rewards.
@@lavs8696 Uber had a viable business model worth billions, as the market bore out. Suggesting WeWork had a viable business model worth billions is your prerogative, but the market made it clear that was not the case. The "geniuses" at Softbank billions, consistent with BT Barnum. Suggesting WeWork was an example of a "popular VC strategy is again, laughable. It is a great example salesmanship. So was Theranos was another. There is a difference between fraud/stupidity and capitalism
@@BillFotsch "Uber had a viable business model worth billions, as the market bore out" I don't even know what you mean by this, they operated at a loss for years in order to attain market share, the same thing WeWork did. Of course rideshare is a real business, as is coworking. WeWork is not the only coworking company, there were several in every major city operating at a profit. This was a viable business, but with VC funding they turbocharged in order to run others out of business and gain market share. WeWork will likely become profitable soon as they shift from a revenue model to a profit driven one.
@xan kon Evidently neither does WeWork, having gone bankrupt, fired hundreds of employees and generating one of the largest losses Softback, their investor, had ever had. But I gather you are an expert. How much money did you invest and lose in WeWork?
Any who says they want to change the world and talks about being inspired all the time in an interview on a repeated basis instead of sticking to the facts of the business model is a red flag.
Hard to keep comments respectful when this hack is getting interviewed. Reminds me of uri geller who claims he can bend spoons with the power of his mind 🧐
Amazing that WeWork ever managed to get a billion dollar credit facility from JP Morgan and further billions from Masa Son. No wonder both wanted to keep the $48 billion dollar IPO myth going,
Great Idea? This is just short-term office leasing with free beer, ikea furniture and vacuous slogans. There's a reason no one in real estate does this. It's very little margin and extremely high risk.
I started out in engineering in the 90s and remember co-working places like these. So color me surprised when I saw the big hoopla over WeWork. It didn't work back then so don't know why it would work now.
I wish they had asked how exactly it's different than a co-op. It seems like the two differences are that obviously it has a different financial structure, and there's probably less control in the hands of people living there because they don't collectively own everything. It seems just...worse than a co-op. But if they can take advantage of their for-profit model to spread virally and get more people to experience co-op sort of living then I think it's great.

these "co-working" spaces are full of "wannabes" that are for the largest percentage losers with dreams of "silicon valley type grandiosity". I walked into WeWork once just 'cause a friend drag me there, and the amount of fakeness and pretentiousness of people (running the place and renting spaces) was without match. I excused myself within 15 minutes and went to the gym instead. I am not kidding when I say, that I felt "dirty" when i left the place given the amount of "bs vibe". When I watched one video of that guy Adam, then i understood why he appealed to all the losers going bananas about him, he very accurately marketed to that type of people and start ups: all image, all pretentiousness, all "talk" and very little depth.
I believe welive is a far better business model than wework, because there is a real demand for it in larger cities with a high demand for renting living space and low supply for rental apartments like in San Francisco. Also in cities like Frankfurt, Germany, where social ties have broken apart to connect them again! But the price should be below € 750,- for a small room, maximum € 999,- incl. of all costs per month for a room with attached bathroom sized around 30-50 sqm. Maybe wework, welive and a connected gym should be in the same building.
Simple formula create an idea or model that looks fancy and impossible but is possible because of you. Second, talk like they are about to change the world with their intervention, talks fancy thing regarding that intervention, should sound like they are helping people with their product with minimal self interest but the opposite is only true. If business man tells you that he only care about people and not about money or business, he is lying. Eg :- Elizabeth Holmes, now adam
