Brendan Anderson - Building a Compounding Advantage - Ep.124

<p>My guest on this episode is Brendan Anderson. Brendan started his post-banking entrepreneurial career by acquiring Stam, Inc., which manufactures custom bent tubing before founding a private equity firm called ScaleCo where he has raised three funds and acquired 21 companies to date.</p><p>He built his career by being an operator first and learned to become an investor, a path that&#39;s given them a big leg up when talking to other CEOs and potential sellers. One subject I&#39;ve wanted to study more deeply is building a team that naturally attracts great people, and this is a major topic of our discussion and something Brendan has given a lot of thought to.</p><p>We also talk about the use of debt combined with long term investment time horizons, how they facilitate data and information sharing across the portfolio, and what the top idea on his mind is today.</p><p>Listen weekly and follow the show on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/think-like-an-owner/id1445929750" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3Fbv9d4HpDwuO4MOPvgdvO?si=bfa67fb76c654755" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5yZWRjaXJjbGUuY29tLzI1ODM4YjdlLTdlZTgtNGZjMC05ZjU0LTViNjJkZDNmZTBjNg" rel="nofollow">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://www.breaker.audio/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Breaker</a>, and <a href="https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Think-Like-An-Owner-p1180625/" rel="nofollow">TuneIn</a>.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Links:</u></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andersonbrendan/" rel="nofollow">Brendan on LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://scaleco.com/" rel="nofollow">ScaleCo</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tablegroup.com/books/" rel="nofollow">Patrick Lencioni Books</a></p><p><a href="https://www.eosworldwide.com/traction-library?gclid=CjwKCAjw5s6WBhA4EiwACGncZRlBU3z2VemFUMOFzZeaCTlIX1rDdIP7bJd3c-W
