In our ETA investments, we look for companies that are the least likely to be put out of business by AI, but also the most likely to benefit from using AI tools to streamline operations and enhance efficiency. That's the sweet spot. Learn more here: open.spotify.com/episode/4I8EUe…

When researching ETA opportunities, reputation beats cold outreach every time. You build a reputation in a segment by winning trust. It's the human element that once again proves more valuable than spreadsheets and databases.

ETA is a financial transaction, but it's also so much more than that. You are helping to continue a legacy. Some of the best opportunities are in niche industries, located in secondary or tertiary markets. Check out my full conversation here: open.spotify.com/episode/4I8EUe…

At the heart of business success is this simple principle: Focus on making the whole team better. It's what I've learned over decades of investing, but fundamentally it's also something most of us were taught in kindergarten: Play well in the sandbox.

Sophisticated ETA investors don't respond to the hard sell. They want to be informed, not pitched. They want to be part of a story, and in the world of ETA investing, there are many great stories to explore, all based on a founder's dream and a lifelong journey of achievement.

Sometimes the drive that makes an entrepreneur successful generates less positive outcomes, such as isolation and loneliness. It's a hard road to success, and many sacrifices are required along the way. But the truth is, there's no reason this journey needs to be a solitary one.

In sales, as with many pursuits, rejection is an opportunity for feedback and growth. Reassess, regroup, recalibrate. As the legendary golfer Bobby Jones once said, "I never learned anything from a match I won."

In business and in life, rich interactions and deeper conversations are rooted in selflessness. It's not the total absence of ego, but rather the ability to step back, put your agenda on the back burner, and engage in the conversation on the other party's terms.

Here is a very practical view of what AI can do for companies in need of major transformation. The answer for distressed businesses may no longer be "classic restructuring," but rather precise use of AI in key areas to realize substantial cost reductions. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

The story of Joe Springsteen is an inspiring one. Follow his quest for a searcher-friendly business, and his discovery of Mallard Systems. Lessons learned during his first harrowing ownership experience (clue: biohazards) were invaluable! Watch here. acquiringminds.co/articles/joe-s…

Had a great conversation with Jason Osborn on his Atomic Impact Podcast. We covered a lot of ground, across four decades in venture capital and private equity, including the importance of building authentic relationships. Would love to hear your reaction! jasonbz6.podbean.com/e/building-aut…
