1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, it's Bruce. Thank you for joining us for

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: another bonus episode of Table for two. Recently, I had

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: the pleasure of sitting down with Andrea Bealaz the famous Hotelierra.

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: We had cocktails at the world renowned Chateau Momon in Hollywood.

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm excited for you to hear our full conversation next week,

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: but today, enjoy another one of our fun lightning rounds.

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: Okay, Andre's show. Okay, these are just like off the

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: top of your head, you know, because people want to

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: know these things about Andre Balaz. Favorite color, favorite color color,

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: what's your favorite color blue?

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 3: Without a question?

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: Favorite movie?

13
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 4: You know.

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 3: It's like a.

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 4: Book I view and read across read sweet books at

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 4: the time, you because it depends on what I'm reading

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 4: it for.

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: Right, I read history to relax.

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 4: Because there are much bigger calamities in the world than

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 4: whatever I might hear. So I find it bizarre. But

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: I'd read about war and.

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: History and military strategy to relax. Okay, that's interesting because

23
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: it's so different.

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: It's like asking which is your favorite hotel or who's

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: your favorite child.

26
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 3: You can't answer that.

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: You can describe the unique qualities of each sure, so

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: I don't have a favorite ovity put.

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 3: It that way, I had it.

30
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: I don't even know how what I would answer with that.

31
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: I think I would answer ordinary people for some reason,

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: which is so depressing. And for some reason, I think

33
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: for a favorite movie, it's like everything came together. I

34
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: saw this movie is very powerful. I could remember walking

35
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: out of a movie theater seventy first and or I

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: was fifteen years old. It was starting to smell just

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: everything sort of came Tim Hutton gave this performance. So like,

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: I think, what makes things?

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 4: I know what you're saying. It's the convergence of all

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: of those things. But that is exactly why it's impossible

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: for me to name the favorite book or favorite thing, because.

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 3: It's where you were at that moment.

43
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 4: It's the artistry of the people, a person who crafted it.

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: It's the message, and there's artistry in so many things. Yeah,

45
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 3: you know all over.

46
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you can talk about a masterful biography,

47
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 4: you can talk about a masterful novel, you can talk

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 4: about a masterful movie, but it's a work of art

49
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: which is finite.

50
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: Is there been a piece of advice that has been

51
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: you know, the most sort of valuable to you.

52
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, definitely. So I had a mentor when I was.

53
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: Whose father it was a very old Boston Brahmin family,

54
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: and when I was starting his biotech company, he was

55
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: the only venture capitalist who invested in it. His great

56
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: grandfather had been the head of Harvard Medical School, which

57
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 4: in those days was probably more prestigious than being head

58
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: of the president of the United States. And we're driving

59
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: down to Johnson Johnson in his old beat up sab

60
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 4: card that was deliberately very beat up, right, there.

61
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: Was no ostentation whatsoever.

62
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 4: And the day before we met this guy venture capitalist,

63
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: and he was so flashy and so obnoxious, and I

64
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: mean whether he did it or not, he fired someone on.

65
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: The phone in front of us.

66
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: He had his secretary bring in a tray of diamonds

67
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: that he wanted to give his wife for his birthday,

68
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: all in front of us, and said, that's asking this guy.

69
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: On the way down to Johnson Johnson, he said, what

70
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 4: was wrong with him?

71
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 3: What happened?

72
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 4: And he said, well, the problem is all he ever

73
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 4: wanted to do is be rich, and the problem is

74
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: he became rich and then he became an asshole because

75
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: he had no other There was nothing else. So the

76
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: best advice he gave me, his name was Walter. He said, Andre,

77
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 4: just make sure you never achieve your dreams. Always dream

78
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: big enough that you actually never achieved them, because once

79
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 4: you achieved them, then you're in real trouble.

80
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: That's very pressing. That's good advice. First thing you notice in.

81
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: A man me this smile and their eyes. The first

82
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: thing you notice in a woman their eyes and the

83
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 3: way they handle their hair. Beach or ski skid.

84
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: I was a hundred percent sure you were going to say.

85
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 3: Beach No, not enough to do on the beach.

86
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, there really is a drink rose that We've had.

87
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: Enough water ski.

88
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: New York, LA.

89
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: It's a really tough one for the last thirty years. Honestly,

90
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: it's been equal right now now. This is also London,

91
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: and I have to say the triumvirate is they're all great.

92
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: My biggest problem is that I love wherever I am.

93
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: Some of the biggest trauma in my life is leaving.

94
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: You know.

95
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: As we kind of conclude our cocktails, first of all,

96
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,560
