Today's guest – Brian Harper – shares how his beautiful son, Caleb, who has profound autism, taught him how to be a better CEO, a better father, a better husband, and a better human being.
Brian sits at the intersection of two brutally competitive, results-oriented industries – private equity and real estate.
And his new firm – 11 North Partners – invests in beautiful, open-air developments – and drives alpha in an unusual way.
They do it through humanity, empathy, and values-driven leadership. The 'soft skills' really do drive 'hard' business results.
And by the way, Caleb couldn't be happier – he lives at The Center for Discovery – which provides a unique and powerful way of helping autistic individuals reach their full potential.
