    Tilman has really hit home when saying... just go get it, while at the same time being willing to take risks and ready for anything. All based on how you really feel and being a good listener to be an unstoppable and trusted leader. It would be interesting to learn how he really goes about keeping fit both physically and mentally.I wouldn't be surprised if he regularly attends some kind of mind-body or bodywork sessions like yoga, pilates, bare or myofascial release practice to keep this fearless energy flow going smooth at all times.

Got his book on Audio is awesome he is no1 on my bucket list of people to meet.

    Tilman reaches out to touch Lewis a lot of times during the conversation, while keeping sparkling eye contact. It appears to be a good gesture to touch lightly the person in conversation. I have a friend who does similarly, even to strangers he just meet, and he connects asap. Connecting with light touch in the arm is the best way.

    Great interview. Made Tilman really have to stop and think about his answers rather than give just canned responses. Some questions he seemed uncomfortable answering or maybe he was being less than 100% truthful. For example, the questions delving into his personal life. He looked down several times after giving his answers and he was more soft spoken, whereas he was far more enthusiastic, engaging, and was making eye contact with you when discussing his success in the business world. I don't know, his body language seemed to suggest that he was not being forthcoming at times.

Ive grown an obsession for hotels interiors. Thank to my wife and i being in the furniture business and just are nack for staying in gorgeous hotels. But now listening to this and already have read his book he just put out last month i feel being in business is my calling. Hospitality is always #1 no matter what business you're in.

    Tilman is one of the few people I greatly admire but I disagree, no one achieves greatness through a long arduous journey of monumental success from nothing without blood sweat and tears and have not been at that breaking moment but persevered. That’s the key success between success and failure - tenacity.

    The monetary value of the book is probably less than anything he has done, but you need to look at the other side as well. He is becoming a huge mentor and celebrity to others who want to emulate him is multiple aspects. His popularity is sky rocketing due to the book. So you need to look at the Non-fungible angle of this book because there is always the non physical aspect which has a greater impact on the population.

    Yes, I've heard that too: that they say the first generation makes the wealth, the second generation spends it, the third generation loses it. Whilst this level of wealth does appear attractive, I don't think it's always a good think to have it handed down in it's entirety throughout all generations. I do however think portions could and should it should be used to support the inspirations of succeeding generations so that they keep bringing new ideas into the world. To have such wealth handed down to you can stifle the hunger to create new enterprise. I understand that to be Buffet's thinking, and hence a large reason why he's not leaving his kids large inheritances.

    The reason he bought that team is because he knows that team is huge in China. If I was him, I'd buy a couple other teams if I could through some other company. The future is huge money, huge deals etc. Especially when you're dealing with a market that has billions of Chinese hungry for sports. He'll turn around and sell this shit for ten times or more. Nice move. Simple, straight forward and thinking huge. That's how it's done.

How can someone love their children and not be afraid for them in this messed up world? My answer. They can't. Glad the guy has had success and hope it continues. He's had an amazing run. That's for sure.

    This is Lewis How's show, his talk, he reached out to a Billionnaire and sharing this for free.. I'd focus on what I can learn from listening to a man like Tilman who many won't even be able to meet so stop being nit picky..
