Hi it’s me, Paul. Summoned to Twitter by @realEstateTrent
Currently at a boutique hotel.
Yesterday, while my daughter napped, I looked for a spot for a zoom call.
Found a plain unmarked door, opened it... and locked eyes with a naked woman mid-spa prep.
We both froze. I shut the door in panic.
Awkward seeing her at breakfast 😂🇬🇷
I always remind my 2 year old daughter to say “thank you,” “you’re welcome,” “hello sir/madam,” “bye.”
Just like brushing teeth—doesn’t always feel urgent, but it matters.
Funny how some kids skip it and just giggle. Politeness is just basic training for life.
December 2019, I hosted a black tie dinner in Palm Beach for about 80 clients
With creativity we save thousands on the dessert
(Refined bakery in that area cost that much)
Maurizio Cattelan’s banana was released the week before
This is what we served, guests loved it 😂
Flying for 8 hours with your 20 month old daughter is always anticipated with fear,
Would the person around us be annoyed by her presence ?
Realizing today that we were sitting between a pre-school teacher and a pediatrician, had made us a sense of relief 🙏🏻
A friend has a successful art career, selling paintings from $5K to $100K, depend on sizes, and grossing annually $1M in sales
Thinking outside the box, he bought a few vintage cars-Ferrari, Bentley, and Porsche-
not by passion, but to gain access to exclusive rally events
From these networkings, he now sell around 10 paintings per year.
Insurance for the car is set up the day prior to the rally (for 30 days only) and because they're vintage, he only needs liability coverage.
The best part, the cars have even appreciated in value!
Most inspiring story I read about 9/11, Never forget 🙏🏻🙏🏻
1999. I’m 19 years old.
I’m visiting a friend in Chicago, and decide to take a train to Milwaukee to catch a baseball game alone.
I happen to sit next to a senior investment banker from New York City.
He’s on business by himself, and we start chatting.
We talk baseball, the stock market, life, and he makes fun of the fact I’m not allowed to have a beer at a baseball game.
Kindest person you can ever meet.
As the game concludes, he hands me his business card.
“You seem really motivated and you have a good head on your shoulders. Call me when you graduate from college.”
I look down at the business card.
2 World Trade. 89th Floor.
David Graifman - those three hours had a huge impact on my confidence at a young age, as well as my life. And from what I’ve read, you impacted many many others.
I’m finally living in New York now, after all these years. We should be catching a Yankee game this week, talking about about how it’s been almost 25 years since that first of many games we caught.
Will Never Forget 🙏
Overheard in a restaurant today, a mom talking to her 6 years old boy:
“Finish your fries, otherwise no dessert!”
😳
Never heard of that company but I said, "That's incredible timing!
The services your provide align with the type of event we're organizing (it actually does) it would be wonderful to collaborate and have your company on board as a sponsor.
She's all like, "Oh, what event?"
Hosting your clients for a magical seated black tie event in NYC is possible at a reasonable cost.
If you are resourceful and creative you can save thousands on items such as flowers.
How ?
Simply ask any event venue the remaining flowers the day after they hosted an event:
After refurbishing them and selecting the best ones,
I was left with a tremendous amount of amazing flowers for my dinner the following day
