When trouble comes, let’s take Florida. Trouble comes in hurricanes and when hurricanes come, it’s not just the hurricane. Your power goes out, now you’re worried about your children. You’re trying to get to work, nobody can get to work, it’s a real problem. If we know a hurricane is coming in Florida, we can head out to the ‘cabin,’ we call it, the survival condo, bring your team leaders and family and basically ride out a hurricane like you’re in a Hilton hotel. That’s basically what this is. All the luxuries: swimming pool, movie theatre. You know, it's nothing more than trying to prepare for disaster with your family and get through it without suffering.

The biggest question everyone asks: what are you gonna do if something happens, if you’re stuck, how are you going to get there? You have to have a realistic plan. If you’re survival-minded, you have a five-day head start on most everybody else. For example, a hurricane is coming to Miami, I live in Orlando. Most people sit there and stare at the TV, wait to see what happens. I would rather get in the car, get out of Florida before the two hours are up. You have to have the ability to get to where you’re going to stay during crisis situations, so [someplace like New Zealand] would be too far.

That’s not my only destination, the survival condo. I also have other fortified locations I own as well. Larry, with the condo project, is the most hardened, protected against almost every type of problem that can come. Some of my hard facilities have a bunker but it doesn’t have protection for biological infection, doesn’t have protection for radiation. The survival condo has layering; it has it all. I’m protected from everything.

The coronavirus seems to be highly contagious. A lot of government agencies are very concerned. I’m concerned about how concerned the people get. I believe the threat will come from mass hysteria more than the actual virus. If all of a sudden there’s quarantines being thrown out, whether it’s overkill or not, quarantine means shelves empty, people getting angry, lawlessness on the streets. Things can get crazy. That’s more a concern than the virus itself.

I’m staying highly alert. I’m watching how long it takes different areas to call a quarantine, travel bans, to see if shelves are emptying with supplies. My threat index in terms of continuity of business, family, if all of a sudden, I can’t conduct business, then I will head out to a nice staycation at one of the facilities, probably Larry’s because it’s biologically fortified. And I’ll bring my team and we’ll have fun in a triple-A facility and watch movies and go to the water park and have a great time. And I won’t have to worry about that because I have that facility.

Pretty soon [I’ll be back in]. This coronavirus actually annoyed me because it’s supercharged the buying market and put a run on spaces. I’ll make my way out in the next few weeks. Now I have to do it a little quicker because all of a sudden this entire facility sold out in a week. Whenever there is a problem, let’s say a massive earthquake in California, the people that had this on their mind, they have the means, they make a move. They start buying. This scare has a lot of people on the phone making orders. It made me speed up my plans.

All of these things need to be operated, they need to be manned. If you really get into a critical situation, you’re going to need hands, you need people to do these jobs. You can’t do it all by yourself.
