What do you look for in each of those things?
10:45
Well, it's really hard.
10:47
I mean, people think curating a club is about picking famous people or powerful people, but it's really actually more nuanced than that.
10:56
And you're really curating energy, behavior, and chemistry.
11:03
We try to build a community with a balance of like ages, industries, personalities, and points of view.
11:11
The goal is not sameness.
11:13
It's interesting overlap.

So before you started building out San Vicente and obviously Sunset Tower, what were you doing and what inspired you to go down this path in hospitality? Yeah.
9:00
Not super rich, okay, but with some funds.
9:02
Look, I think today most social interaction is transactional, and it's scheduled, and it's online, and I think people are willing to actually pay for this, which is why I don't think they're necessarily rich.
9:16
You know, younger people are joining in droves, hone- honestly.
9:20
Young- younger generations grew up online.
9:22
Ironically, that's made real-life interaction feel more novel and valuable to them, I, I believe.
9:28
It's what I'm noticing.
9:30
There are these clubs for the rich, you know, which are super expensive.
