The dude to my right is Jeb Terry. He and I grew up together here in Dallas. As this photo shows, he grew a little more “up” than I did. Jeb is a former Tar Heel defensive end, and he currently serves as CEO of Cosm, an innovative retail-and-entertainment experience that’s coming to life across the country. Want to sit in the end zone during the Red River Rivalry? Explore the cosmos? See the Sistine Chapel up close? Cosm makes it possible for people under its very own roof, in an environment like nothing I have ever experienced. The first Cosm location opened in L.A. earlier this summer, and the second is set to officially open in DFW on August 31 with Atlanta in queue. Jeb and team, thanks for hosting us for the pre-opening here at The Colony! Cosm is transporting, transformative and … yes, a total game-changer for our region. Also, big shoutout to Michael Maddox at Mirasol Capital, who is one of the visionaries behind this,?and Robert McFarlane, who runs real estate and venue development at Cosm and was a wonderful mentor to me back when I was just a young buck at Trammell Crow Company trying to make my way.
