Nothing happened.

Priya Raghunathan, who had twenty-two years in real estate finance and who is the single best hire I ever made, took the call from my mother, listened to about eleven seconds of it, and said, “That’s not an instruction I can act on and he knows it, and I’m going into the room.”

She went into the room.

She said I was delayed.

She did four hours of a meeting I was supposed to do and she did it better than I would have, because she had built the model and I had only presented it.
