I don't think that anyone can do this, at all. I think there's a totally different skillset that it takes to actually run a business than to get money from VCs, and by stripping away the need for the running-a-business skillset, Adam Neumann really perfected his VC grift game. That doesn't mean that he wasn't exceptionally skilled at it.
