Harrison McCain once said the main difference between an entrepreneur and a manager was attitude. Education along with access to capital and connections were all secondary. He and his brother proved it every day at McCain Foods. Here's how they turned a cow pasture in a town of 1,600 people into a $16 billion empire. 🧵👇

Money doesn’t guarantee happiness. But it can reduce the number of bad days, and that alone can dramatically improve your life.

Brookfield owns 500 companies. They told them all to experiment with AI, with one condition: share what you learn. Connor Teskey breaks down what's actually working across their $1T portfolio. The use case we didn't see coming? Health and safety.

When a market broke the playbook, he adapted. Australia couldn't be cracked with fries alone, so they diversified into frozen vegetables, pizzas, and prepared meals. They used what they learned there to update their playbook and reinforce the markets they'd already won.

Great deals are just the beginning. At Brookfield, it’s all about how you handle the morning after a massive win. Their new CEO Connor Teskey on humility, drive, and skipping the victory lap. x.com/shaneparrish/s…

Connor Teskey is one of the least-known people in asset management. And yet, at 38, he just took over as CEO of Brookfield Asset Management from Bruce Flatt and is now responsible for managing over 1 trillion in assets. Few people have as wide a view of the global economy and what's happening in it as Connor. We discuss: - The lessons he learned working with Bruce Flatt (and where they differ) - His meteoric rise in a highly competitive firm - What's not changing in the global economy - How he isolates variables to de-risk decisions - Why waiting for perfect information is futile - Betting against the crowd and being right - Using AI to increase value, not cut people And so much more. This is Connor's first-ever podcast (and long-form interview for that matter). It's time to listen and Learn.

Morgan Housel: some people intuitively “get” money and some can’t be helped. That leaves most wanting or needing clarity, especially on what “long term” actually means when it comes to investing.

Is @Brookfield Asset Management a meritocracy? Their new CEO Connor Teskey certainly thinks so and here he breaks down why and explains exactly how they operate when it comes to finding and developing their people.

You are a young lady finance professional? Consider reading and watching videos about these two remarkable C-suite female executives. Proper gargantuans. I have watched tons of videos about these two. Indira Nooyi ✑ Indira Nooyi's emergence as CEO of PepsiCo in 2006 was symbolic. Although she was not the first person of colour to lead a Fortune 500 company, she was one of the longest-serving and most influential during her time. ✑ She started out in strategy consulting at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), had a stint at Motorola in the corporate strategy and planning team, and then joined PepsiCo in 1994. From there, she rose to head of corporate strategy, then CFO (2001 to 2006), and then CEO (2006 to 2018). ✑ During her tenure as PepsiCo's CEO, the franchise shifted from "soda company" to a diversified food and beverage giant. She particularly led the acquisition of Quaker Oats Company. Learn from her story (she is an excellent speaker too). Jane Fraser ✑ She was the first woman to lead a major Wall Street bank. Fraser broke into the core power seat of global finance by joining Citigroup at a time when the bank underperformed peers like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs. ✑ The business had become overly complex and fragmented globally, and Jane Fraser came in to transform the bank. ✑ Her efforts include exiting consumer banking in multiple countries and refocusing on core strengths: institutional clients, cross-border banking, and wealth management. ✑ Fraser studied Economics at the University of Cambridge and secured an MBA from Harvard Business School. She started her career at McKinsey, where she rose to Partner. ✑ She joined Citigroup in 2004 and rotated across investment banking, Latin America head, CEO of U.S. Consumer Banking, and CEO of Global Consumer Banking. ✑ A key achievement remains navigating Citigroup through the Global Financial Crisis. ——————————————————————— Funny how both women started in strategy consulting (eyeing you folks that like to parrot it that consultants do not make good CEOs).

Deploying capital at exceptional returns is the foundation of @Brookfield's business. But if you want to do it at scale, over a long period of time, that alone isn't enough. Their new CEO, Connor Teskey, is clear on what else it takes: x.com/shaneparrish/s…

We sat down with Connor shortly after he was named the new CEO of Brookfield Asset Management, taking over for Bruce Flatt. Here's what we covered: - How Brookfield de-risks every deal before a dollar goes in the ground - Why liquidity is the most consistently mispriced asset in investing - The cultural trait Brookfield looks for that has nothing to do with IQ - What the Oaktree acquisition looked like from the inside - Why the individual investor market may be bigger than everything Brookfield has built so far Listen and learn: YouTube: youtu.be/xSwHXjH8Og4 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2rxklx… Apple: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/con…

Brookfield Asset Management oversees over $1 trillion in assets, making it one of the largest alternative asset managers in the world. When asked about how they think about growth, new CEO Connor Teskey said most people are asking the wrong question entirely:
