brookfield has gone from, like, strength to strength. if i was a martian meeting you for the first time, how would you describe your company? bruce: we invest in, buy, and own the backbone of global economy. when the water gets delivered to your house, the roads you drive on, the pipeline that brings different things to your community, the telecom towers that transmit your phone, the data center, the real estate that you live in. it's what we own and build. so it's really what drives the economy, and you don't often see our name. because -- francine: is that a good or a bad thing? bruce: you know, it's just because we are behind the scenes. but it is big with $1 trillion of assets almost. we are behind a lot of the things of the global economy. francine: so being low-key, do you think it gives you strength? bruce: we just try to be quiet and do our thing, and sometimes it helps, and sometimes it doesn't. but i would say, on balance, it has been good for us. francine: so, you have been in charge for 22 years at brookfield. bruce: yes, it
