The best deal you'll ever do is finding your spouse.

It definitely was mine.

9 rules for a strong marriage as I see them today: Image
1) choose hard paths not easy yes’s

2) dance even if it’s just in the kitchen

3) don’t forget to play dress up 😜
4) travel together so as not to grow apart

5) sweat, strain and strive together

6) a book a month keeps curiosity in play
7) be students of history, it’s all been done before

8) celebrate each others wins

9) sweatpants are a sign you’re giving up
The best (or worst) deal you’ll ever do is with your spouse.

So try not to f it up.

*Across almost all continents and despite deployments held apart.. I’d choose you every time @Chris_Petkas

How do you know if you're investing in a bubble:

My framework is called CRISN and before you buy into your next asset give it this check:
CRISN: Like christening the next bubble.

#1 Cult enthusiasm -

Be careful of raving acolytes. Look for the angle. Bubbles have not raving fans for the product (aka Apple computers) but those who benefit if the cost rises?

Think bitcoin HODL’ers or multiverse land hypemen.
#2 Retail vs Institutional players -

Ask yourself: Are Blackrock, Goldman, and Hedge Funds investing with long term bets? Or retail investors piling in. Careful the shoeshine boys stock picks.

You want those who do the math, not listen to the narrative. Image

In 2012, Disney made the surprise announcement that they had just acquired a company nobody thought would ever be sold.

Lucasfilm (Star Wars) for $4.05B.

Here’s how a secret breakfast negotiation between Disney CEO Bob Iger & George Lucas made it happen.
In the early 2000s, Disney was struggling. Then Iger was named CEO in 2005 and completed a complete turnaround via successful M&A negotiation over the next 15 years

Stock Price: $24.13 -> $144.33
Market Cap: $48B -> $257B

He targeted 'Mini-Disneys' to acquire.
Buy then Build

Iger was relentless, acquiring:

• Pixar (2006) for $7.4B
• Marvel (2009) for $4B
• Lucasfilm (2012) for $4.05B

Most books are too long.

BUT, these are the books I always come back to (and re-read) especially in 2022:
'Am I Being Too Subtle?'

How to do deals, and make money, even when the world is messy.
'Economic Facts & Fallacies'

Finding the truth in economic news.

Private equity has more lingo that makes no sense than almost any other industry.

Here are the private equity terms no text book will teach you:
Pari Passu.

Everyone gets treated the same.

Aka you have stocks, assets, creditors and everyone gets the same deal when a company gets dividends.
Spray and Pray.

When an investor has no real plan.
They invest a small amount in a bunch of different companies and hope one of them is a grand slam.

No value, little strategy, a lot of hope.

Interviews are a categorically terrible way to hire.
What does work?

Don’t tell me what you did, show me what you can do.

Small projects.
What does that look like?

At Goldman I had to present and run a model.

When I hire analysts I have them walk me through a spreadsheet of a deal live with me. Find the errors.

Hire writers, they have to write a newsletter first.

Assistants create a scheduling SOP for me.

What if you could make money on online ads like you used to in 2010?

What if advertising was easy again?

You might be into our newest investment at Contrarian Thinking Capital...
Here' the idea:
Paid online ads are tanking.
Facebook and Apple made ads more expensive & ROI harder.

You need a better home for your marketing dollars.

I think @getpostpilot will be one... here's why:
@getpostpilot Fax Machine Test

Magic happens when boring meets tech. It's the upgrade from fax machine to email.

What is more boring than mail? Do millennials even open it anymore?

Well, turns out postcards, with smart automation can ROI like a mfer.
