773 00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:53,732 Do I let that sensation guide my actions and keep me from success? 774 00:44:53,816 --> 00:44:57,861 Or do I actually use that as a motivation to continue working 775 00:44:57,945 --> 00:44:59,822 and try and achieve that success?" 776 00:44:59,905 --> 00:45:02,241 And for people who are in that situation, 777 00:45:02,324 --> 00:45:07,121 it's actually rarer for someone to work hard and succeed 778 00:45:07,204 --> 00:45:09,206 than it is for people to give in to that. 779 00:45:09,289 --> 00:45:10,749 It's much easier to give in. 780 00:45:13,001 --> 00:45:15,671 I started NorthWest about 25 years ago, 781 00:45:15,754 --> 00:45:19,675 just recently out of college and a brief career on Wall Street, 782 00:45:19,758 --> 00:45:22,386 and I realized pretty early that I liked real estate, 783 00:45:22,469 --> 00:45:25,347 and really started looking for the opportunity 784 00:45:25,431 --> 00:45:28,100 to buy and invest in various types of real estate. 785 00:45:28,183 --> 00:45:31,186 And more recently, probably in the last ten years, 786 00:45:31,270 --> 00:45:34,481 we've come to focus almost exclusively on healthcare real estate. 787 00:45:34,565 --> 00:45:38,527 Which is a bit strange, because in Canada we have a public health system, 788 00:45:38,610 --> 00:45:43,490 and the provincial governments own the vast majority of healthcare real estate - 789 00:45:43,574 --> 00:45:45,242 you know, hospitals and the like. 790 00:45:45,325 --> 00:45:47,619 But we found a pretty interesting niche, 791 00:45:47,703 --> 00:45:50,456 and it's one that's really playing out around the world. 792 00:45:50,539 --> 00:45:51,832 So, over the last ten years, 793 00:45:51,915 --> 00:45:55,878 we've really become a very significant owner of healthcare real estate 794 00:45:55,961 --> 00:45:58,714 in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, 795 00:45:58,797 --> 00:46:01,133 South America, and, of course, in Canada. 796 00:46:01,592 --> 00:46:05,262 Clearly, completing the merger with NorthWest International 797 00:46:05,345 --> 00:46:08,015 was the biggest thing we've been able to accomplish. 798 00:46:08,098 --> 00:46:10,684 I mean, I think that leaves us in a great position, 799 00:46:10,767 --> 00:46:13,270 but how do we make it even better? 800 00:46:13,353 --> 00:46:16,148 What do we think about further down the line? 801 00:46:16,231 --> 00:46:19,151 So, you know, maybe thinking past 2016 802 00:46:19,234 --> 00:46:21,653 and the big opportunities for the business. 803 00:46:21,737 --> 00:46:22,654 Yeah. 804 00:46:22,738 --> 00:46:24,740 I started NorthWest with one property, 805 00:46:24,823 --> 00:46:28,744 and really running it by myself with a cell phone and no office, 806 00:46:28,827 --> 00:46:32,456 to now, you know, having hundreds of people working for the company 807 00:46:32,539 --> 00:46:34,041 and hundreds of properties. 808 00:46:34,124 --> 00:46:38,170 So it's been an incredible journey, and I think as a public company now, 809 00:46:38,253 --> 00:46:39,421 as an entrepreneur, 810 00:46:39,505 --> 00:46:43,133 and in particular as a person in charge of the strategy for the business, 811 00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,720 I find myself wearing two hats every day coming in here. 812 00:46:46,803 --> 00:46:50,682 "Are we on plan and are we capable of both hitting our quarters and our year?" 813 00:46:50,766 --> 00:46:53,769 And at the same time being the chief disruptor, 814 00:46:53,852 --> 00:46:58,148 coming in and saying, "Let's think about what we could do totally differently. 815 00:46:58,232 --> 00:47:00,108 How could this be 10X?" 816 00:47:00,192 --> 00:47:02,069 So it's a very interesting tension, 817 00:47:02,152 --> 00:47:05,822 and I find that to be really rewarding. 818 00:47:21,588 --> 00:47:24,174 Learning by doing seems to be a common theme for me. 819 00:47:24,258 --> 00:47:27,719 It's the way that it happened at the start of my business career, 820 00:47:27,803 --> 00:47:30,472 and I think racing's similar to that for me. 821 00:47:31,390 --> 00:47:33,850 It's been a very interesting journey in racing. 822 00:47:34,393 --> 00:47:36,728 I would say I'm an accidental gentleman driver, 823 00:47:36,812 --> 00:47:40,315 in that although I have enjoyed racing over the years, 824 00:47:40,399 --> 00:47:44,403 and I can remember even meeting my wife at a Formula 1 event, 825 00:47:44,486 --> 00:47:47,864 my journey into the sport happened quite recently. 826 00:47:47,948 --> 00:47:50,993 That was, you know, going to a track day with a friend, 827 00:47:51,076 --> 00:47:55,247 having never driven a car on a racetrack, never done go-karting. 828 00:47:55,330 --> 00:47:57,499 I showed up as green as you can be, 829 00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:01,962 and I think after the first lap I knew that it was something that I wanted to do, 830 00:48:02,045 --> 00:48:05,841 and enrolled the next week in racing school, 831 00:48:05,924 --> 00:48:07,551 and started the week after that. 832 00:48:11,013 --> 00:48:15,767 I think I always considered myself a good driver and somebody that appreciated cars, 833 00:48:15,851 --> 00:48:20,022 and I very quickly found out that I didn't know the first thing about it. 834 00:48:20,105 --> 00:48:24,276 So it was a real eye-opener that I had a whole lot to learn. 835 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,031 So, in addition to racing and business, 836 00:48:29,114 --> 00:48:32,743 recently I find myself involved in another new initiative, 837 00:48:32,826 --> 00:48:34,411 which is philanthropy. 838 00:48:34,494 --> 00:48:36,913 And I've become affiliated with 839 00:48:36,997 --> 00:48:39,791 the University of Toronto School of Public Health. 840 00:48:40,667 --> 00:48:43,086 -Howard, nice to see you.

I don't feel like any of this is a gamble. 1088 01:03:05,782 --> 01:03:09,827 I look at these as very intelligent decisions - 1089 01:03:09,911 --> 01:03:12,872 just that you need to do these things to go forward. 1090 01:03:12,955 --> 01:03:16,542 It's slightly risky spending millions of dollars building a new facility 1091 01:03:16,626 --> 01:03:18,836 in a new industry that's not regulated yet, 1092 01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,048 but I try to look at the future and make a calculated decision, 1093 01:03:22,131 --> 01:03:23,424 and then don't look back. 1094 01:03:24,884 --> 01:03:26,677 It's the same thing in a race car. 1095 01:03:26,761 --> 01:03:29,430 It's one reason why endurance racing has done me well, 1096 01:03:29,514 --> 01:03:31,349 because you've got to think long-term. 1097 01:03:31,432 --> 01:03:32,600 It's not a sprint race. 1098 01:03:32,683 --> 01:03:36,312 We have four-hour, six-hour, 12-hour, 24-hour races. 1099 01:03:36,687 --> 01:03:38,397 You don't take big risks. 1100 01:03:38,481 --> 01:03:41,317 So it's worked out well for my personality. 1101 01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,070 Get in there, go 90-95% all the time. 1102 01:03:44,570 --> 01:03:46,697 But going 100-105%, 1103 01:03:46,781 --> 01:03:49,408 that's risky and not for me. 1104 01:03:50,535 --> 01:03:55,081 We're now in charge of the branding of the new Smith & Baxter line. 1105 01:03:55,164 --> 01:03:56,916 We're now on version three. 1106 01:03:56,999 --> 01:03:58,960 Once we do the physical mockup, 1107 01:03:59,043 --> 01:04:02,588 we have to see if it changes the look and feel on some of these. 1108 01:04:02,672 --> 01:04:06,676 So, the other alternative was just to do this square block for the flavors. 1109 01:04:06,759 --> 01:04:09,637 But I do like the way we've color-coded the flavors, too. 1110 01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,558 They're very, very adult, and we don't see a lot of that in the industry. 1111 01:04:13,641 --> 01:04:15,268 I agree. I agree. 1112 01:04:15,351 --> 01:04:19,647 I'm happy with this, and I think the next round would be changing these up, 1113 01:04:19,730 --> 01:04:23,234 getting some iterations here, and I think we're going to be good to go. 1114 01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:27,446 Going way back, my dad had a carpet-cleaning company. 1115 01:04:27,530 --> 01:04:29,532 So I grew up in that business, 1116 01:04:29,615 --> 01:04:32,577 but after a few years I realized there's something better for me. 1117 01:04:32,660 --> 01:04:36,455 I didn't know what it was, but I knew that was not my calling. 1118 01:04:36,539 --> 01:04:41,085 So I sold all that off and went into the consulting business to the industry, 1119 01:04:41,168 --> 01:04:44,714 and I taught all these cleaning companies service techniques 1120 01:04:44,797 --> 01:04:47,466 and sales techniques, because I was really good at it. 1121 01:04:47,550 --> 01:04:51,637 So that's when I started to get a feel for the chemical industry, 1122 01:04:51,721 --> 01:04:55,308 because I worked for chemical companies selling into the cleaning industry. 1123 01:04:55,391 --> 01:04:58,102 I saw giant manufacturing lines and giant tanks, 1124 01:04:58,185 --> 01:04:59,896 and bottles shooting off lines. 1125 01:04:59,979 --> 01:05:01,689 I said, "Oh, my God.

From 25 to 45 - 20 years - I didn't get to race. 1143 01:06:09,173 --> 01:06:13,344 So I said, "I'll go back to that and see if there's anything in it for me." 1144 01:06:13,427 --> 01:06:17,056 So I started slowly, you know? I got into go-karts. 1145 01:06:17,139 --> 01:06:20,851 Then I said, "I can do this. I'm going to start a racing team.
