In this episode, Paul Bennett sits down with him to discuss his new book, Both Sides of the Table, a practical guide to passive investing built from all three perspectives.\nThey cover the difference between thinking like an investor and thinking like a consumer, why the pro forma is rarely the outcome, how to read the market cycle, how to evaluate a sponsor's character and alignment, and how IRR partitioning and yield on cost can reveal when a value-add deal carries development-level risk.\nPaul Shannon closes with his core advice for LPs: lead with risk, not returns, and build a diversified portfolio over time.\nGet the book: Both Sides of the Table by Paul Shannon: https://www.amazon.com/Both-Sides-Table-Paul-Shannon/dp/B0H568RKLJ/\nReady to talk about your investment strategy?
