I’m powering through from Ep 1 to the present day and there is so much great information in this podcast. Sam has a very laid back style which gives the CEO guests plenty of space to talk about their experience.
Short interviews with an interesting range of people from both sides of the investing fence...both investors and management. Maybe in the future we could hear from a few people who admit to mistakes and tell us what they have learnt. PE is a portfolio business and all deals contribute to the success of the portfolio.
These interviews are fantastic: very informative & diverse (each one tells you something different). Sound quality is good and the length is just right. Well done Sam & team!
