On this episode of the Corp, we talked to Barry Sternleck, who is the CEO of Starwood Capital.

He also founded, created the W Hotel brand.

If you've ever stated it at W Hotel, you have Barry to thank.

He manages billions of dollars, and we have a really interesting conversation coming up with Barry.

Before we do that, though, a quick shout out to our presenting sponsor, the Cash App.

They have basically created the Corp. They are the biggest backer of the Corp podcast, and we want to thank them.

There's the number one app in Finance, and they've rolled out their powerful new debit card.

The Cash Card comes with boost discounts that allow you to swipe and save 10% or more at Whole Foods, Shake Shack, Chipotle, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-A, Coffee Shops around the country, and tons more.

It's basically free money. We're giving you free money if you want to be financially frugal. No, no, frugal is a bad word.

But financially stringent. No, that's also financially wise.

They continue to hook it up, so people you need to go download the Cash Card, the Cash App, download it, download it, download it, the Cash App.

Okay, so Barry Sternlecht, like I said, manages billions of dollars.

And the theme that I took away from our conversation with Barry is how great he is at managing people more than money, and being a team player and business, and working with different type of people, and adapting, and making sure that everyone can kind of come along with him.

So you've worked in, you know, you've been with teams both in sports and business.

What's the biggest piece of, you know, getting a team, rallying a team together, and getting everyone kind of pulling on the same side of the rope?

How do you get people to do that?

First of all, is people selection, right? Is you have to bring in people that have high-acumen, people that understand, that have high energy, that understand teamwork.
