The Battle For New York City
New York City is an ever-evolving battlefield for some of the world's most ambitious people. In this video, I explore the key deals, acquisitions, and companies that have shaped-and continue to shape-the city's landscape. We dive into the high-stakes battles involving Tishman Speyer, Steve Ross, Donald Trump, Terra Holdings and how their iconic projects have transformed Manhattan into a global symbol of luxury and power.

- ABOUT PROBABLY SOMETHING -
Hey, I'm Kunal. I'm a Swedish founder in NYC and ex-investment banker. You can think of this as my personal business blog, but in video format.
I create videos about finance, business strategy, M&A and mental models to help me better understand our complex business world. Through my work, I've mostly covered holding companies, tech, media, healthcare and sports so those are naturally the topics I gravitate towards.
My goal is to constantly challenge myself to become a better business operator, investor and thinker by studying world class founders, financiers and capital allocators. I hope this channel will help you do the same.
Just sharing what I'm learning along the way and documenting my journey - nothing on here should be considered financial advice.

    Hi Kunal, nice video. Need your opinion. I stood by principle of mirror reciprocation before even knowing about this concept. But there are times when I didn't get the same understanding or sensitivity from the other person. I have to tell u that I always initiate things and have a positive approach towards life. I m trying to understand why people are insensitive and not reciprocating the way they are being treated. Though it may sound simple, I m not getting through this. Kindly give me some insights
