Sounds like a life with very little work-life balance to me… I assume he still hasn’t a family with children either… so makes sense he pushes it as hard as he can and hope his effort is rewarded!
Question is why would he need this project to start his own company?
Why not just start and build it up as he progresses?
This project is critical to build Adam's track record. If he just went out and started his own company today, it would be *way* more difficult for him to raise money from the Ians of the world. He'd end up doing really small deals funded by friends and family to build track record over time. Which is fine for some, but Adam is taking a different path in life.
If Harbor Yards is successful, Ian would happily back Adam on his own large-scale project.
Thanks for clarifying and makes sense!
