A speaker describes clashing with Bridger over investment deals, pouring days into research only to have the investment committee reject them. The committee's pushback, though painful, protects against bad investments.
Chapters
The amount of times I have hated Bridger after a meeting because he turned down a deal that I was so excited about or whatever. Like, we get into it. Battle it out. But we leave it all on the table. We leave it all in the meeting. It's fun. You shouldn't be offending anyone. It's hard though. Any deal that gets to investment committee because I'm doing that prep work beforehand. I mean, I've spent days of work on that. You know, weeks of research. And multiple calls, and I'm emotionally bought into an opportunity. That's why I have a committee to be like, dude, this sucks, man, for these reasons, or we shouldn't do it, or the terms suck, or whatever.
