My guest on the show today is Ben Kohn, President and CEO of PLBY Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLBY). PLBY Group, Inc. is a global pleasure and leisure company connecting consumers with products, content, and experiences that help them lead more fulfilling lives. PLBY Group's flagship consumer brand, Playboy, is one of the most recognizable brands in the world, with products and content available in approximately 180 countries. We all know the brand, we all know who Playboy is, the history, the bunny ears, the magazine; it's an iconic brand. Those don't just grow on trees, nor have the cultural awareness like Playboy has had for 70+ years now. However, following its botched go public strategy in 2021, management has been working hard picking up the pieces to turn things around. That's what I wanted to chat with CEO, Ben Kohn, about, who was very gracious and quite candid as we discussed: the Corporate history of Playboy How they are focused on returning customers to Playboy's roots Licensing deals, specifically the Byborg deal Managing cultural risks 3-5 year vision for the company For more information about PLBY Group, please visit: https://www.plbygroup.com/ This podcast was recorded and is being made available by SNN, Inc.

My guest on the show today is Denver Smith, Managing Partner & Chief Investment Officer at Carlson Ridge Capital. We've done a number of episodes over the years on Activist Investing, and I'd say all the investors that end up going activist, it's a reluctant endeavour; they basically, with all the circumstances happening in that particular company, made a conscious decision doing a time and cost analysis that it was a necessary step. But the biggest difference between most activist investors we've had on, or rather, investors that have gone active, is that they wouldn't necessarily describe themselves as activist investors; it was all situational. While becoming an activist investor was initially unintentional with my guest today, Denver Smith, he is now most certainly intentional when the circumstances are ripe. And we dive into what a ripe situation looks like. And for full disclosure, we discussed a number of companies during today's podcast, I am not a shareholder in any of them.

My guest on the show today is with Devin LaSarre, Founder & Editor of Invariant. I've been following Devin for a while on social media, and invited him on to better understand his overall investing philosophy, and then specifically dig into an industry / idea a bit further. This episode I would say falls into the "ways of seeing" bucket, meaning, every once in a while I have a conversation on here with someone that has a completely different way they look at investing that I find very unique. In this case, Devin's focus on finding very "unclean" stories and doing the work to clean it up struck a chord that I wanted to understand further. I had a blast jamming on this concept, and then diving further on the Nicotine industry and his thesis on Haypp Group. And for full disclosure, we discussed a number of companies during today's podcast, I am not a shareholder in any of them.

Founded in 2009, Locafy's mission is to revolutionize the US$700 billion SEO sector. SEO, also known as Search Engine Optimization, is phrase you have probably heard a million times, and you probably couldn't define exactly what it is. You're not alone. And the main reason being is that it's a sector that is evolving so quickly that it's difficult to keep up. I invited on Gavin today because, since I last interviewed him back in February 2023, the company has had it's own evolution in tackling this both simple and complex problem every company must figure out: how do people find our business on the internet. We discuss this, and: Locafy's suite of solutions The company's business strategy What the competitive landscape looks like Progress towards profitability; balancing growth vs. focus on profitability, and their 3-5 year vision for the company For more information about Locafy, please visit: https://locafy.com/ This podcast was recorded and is being made available by SNN, Inc.

My guest on the show today is Kyle Grieve, Host of We Study Billionaires Podcast on the Investor's Podcast Network. I've been a fan from afar and had the chance to hang with Kyle at our conference in Vancouver last year. We had a blast and thought we should bring that energy to the podcast. I wanted to learn more about his background and how he got hooked into our MicroCap world here. We dove deeper into his thoughts on the differences between a quality business and quality investment, his criteria for an ideal investment and we close with lessons learned that came to his mind from his interviews on the We Host Billionaires podcast. And for full disclosure, we discussed a number of companies during today's podcast, I am not a shareholder in any of them.

My guest on the show today is Adam Wilk, Founder and Portfolio Manager at Greystone Capital Management. I invited Adam back on to discuss an article he wrote back in August 2024 to explore the idea of investors/shareholders finding companies, in other words, delving deeper into a statement made famous by Buffett, "companies ultimately end up with the shareholders they deserve." There's many different ways to think about this concept - Adam and I do our best to cover them all. I thought it was particularly interesting for why Adam even wrote the article was inspired by potential LPs and other investors asking him why won't this company stay cheap forever; I would've thought for sure this article was inspired by management teams asking him about this topic. And for full disclosure, we discussed a number of companies during today's podcast, I am not a shareholder in any of them.

My guest on the show today is Whit Huguley, Fund Manager at River Oaks Capital. I've known Whit for a few years now, first having met him at one of my own conferences in Vegas, and have gotten to know and appreciate Whit's investing style. He launched his Fund, River Oaks Capital, about 5 years ago now, and while he's in the middle of writing his annual letter, he graciously jumped on the pod to talk more about what he's learned from running a MicroCap fund thus far.

My guest on the show today is Conor Maguire, Founder and Editor of the Value Situations Newsletter on Substack. I've always enjoyed Conor's appearances on Yet Another Value Podcast pitching individual ideas, and invited him on here to share more about his background, fundamental investing philosophy, what an ideal investment looks like to him, investing framework, and more. Special situations is always fun to talk about, in my opinion, and some of my favorite conversations are had when discussing the topic. This one with Conor fits that bill in spades.

My guest on the show today is Maj Soueidan, Founder and Editor at GeoInvesting. 2024 is in the books, and like every good podcaster, we had to do our version of a year-in-review, and in the MicroCap world, there's no shortage of things to cover. So much so, this might be Maj and I's longest pod ever - an hour and 40 minutes worth of mostly what I think we do best, jam session on MicroCap stocks and investing. Maj absolutely cooks on this episode, and it's always fun to watch. We dissect defining quality, round trips, unexpected winners, information arbitrage, growth capital, how diversification can allow you to concentrate, and much more. We discussed a number of stocks during our interview today, I am not a shareholder in any of them, and Maj also may or may not own companies that comprise their Tier One Quality MicroCap Index, please see MS MicroCaps and GeoInvesting for full disclosure.

My guest on the show today is Roger Fan, Founder and CIO of RF Capital Management. Firstly, shout out to Chris Abbott from 1035 Capital for the introduction. Roger runs a long-biased investment firm in LA that invests primarily in equities, and focuses on nanocaps and special situations. Their objective is to compound at 15-20%+ over the long term with a concentrated portfolio and minimal/no leverage or shorting.

My guest on the show today is Deiya Pernas, Co-Founder and Analyst at Pernas Research. Growth, runway for growth, greenfield opportunities, current market penetration, competitive landscape: these are all concepts we need to think about when looking at MicroCaps, and we've talked at length on this show about. The idea, or the ability, to conceptualize the future for any given company is a skill I think we all wish we had mastered (then we'd all be extremely wealthy), and yet, is what makes investing in Small, MicroCaps so damn fun. Deiya and his team at Pernas Research focus heavily on companies where their future is brighter than their current state, in other words, how the conceptualization of their futures are different from market perception. We dig into this idea today, and provide a few examples to illustrate what Deiya means. Deiya mentioned a number of names during the interview today and for full disclosure, I am not a shareholder in any of them.

My guest on the show today is Colin King, Partner at Circle City Capital Group, Inc., and known as @valuedontlie on Twitter/X. I think we've all seen those memes and videos of folks who left their amazing job at Goldman Sacks to buy multiple small businesses, then of course, if you subscribe to their newsletter they'll show you how they did it. All jokes aside, it's a strategy that has worked time and again for many folks out there, however, buying and operating small private businesses is not as easy as social media would make you think, goes without saying. I invited on Colin to talk about his journey to launching and running this strategy at Circle City Capital Group.

My guest on the show today is Tristan Waine, better known as @hurdle_rate on Twitter/X and Editor, Author of the Hurdle Rate newsletter on Substack. We've talked many times here about the circle of competence, investing in what you know, looking at companies that produce goods or services that you actually consume, a style of investing, or more specifically, idea generation that Peter Lynch made famous. In our conversation today, Tristan and I talk extensively about this concept as it pertains to his investing style and philosophy. Specifically, we thought we could up the boring business ante, by talking about the sexiest businesses alive: accounting and document management software. In all seriousness, we have a great time, and Tristan provides some valuable insight on the topic of investing in what you know. Tristan mentioned a number of names during the interview today and for full disclosure, I am not a shareholder in any of them.

My guest on the show today is Nick Blitterswyk, CEO of UGE International. On May 29, 2024, UGE announced an arrangement agreement for going private transaction with NOVA Infrastructure Fund for an all-cash consideration of C$2.00 per common share, a 270% premium to the closing price of the common shares on May 28, 2024. The company officially closed the planned take-private transaction on August 15, 2024. Today's interview has a few factors at play here: 1. We've done quite a few interviews recently here, i.e., with Mathieu Martin and Paul Andreola, about how M&A has been hot, particularly in Canada, for the last 12-18 months, with no signs of slowing down. 2. I've known Nick now for almost 10 years, having first interviewed him back in 2015, and have covered the UGE journey from beginning to now conclusion of their life as a public company. So, I wanted to share with you all a conversation about Nick's experience as a MicroCap public company CEO, what it means to run a MicroCap public company, what happened and why now was the time to go forward with the transaction to go private, lessons learned, insights to pass on about his experience being a MicroCap CEO and more! Now that the deal has officially closed, I really appreciated Nick's candor and hopefully a lot can be gleaned from this episode that the entire MicroCap space can learn from, as well as a glimpse behind the thought process when faced with the prospect of staying public vs. being acquired/going private.

My guest on the show today is James Emanuel, Author of “Fabric of Success” and Managing Partner at Rock & Turner Investment Company. Quick synopsis of James' book: most businesses are mediocre at best, but a small percentage stand out as exceptional. One thing that distinguishes one type from the other - the management. "Fabric of Success" unravels the golden threads that run through all businesses, like: Apple, Southwest Airlines and more!

My guest on the show today is Jacob Rowe, Founder and CIO of Rogue Funds. We met for the first time at my conference in Vegas, and invited Jacob on the show to share with you all his investing philosophy and strategy. Our focus today is special situations: I like to joke sometimes that most MicroCap investing theses are likely special situations, where you're making a calculated bet on an upcoming catalyst, for example. Today's episode, we cover quite a few examples of what makes MicroCaps and special situations synonymous.

My guests on the show today is Maj Soueidan, Founder and Editor, and Jan Svenda, Senior Equity Analyst, at GeoInvesting. Even though it's been a week to remember in Politics, its also potentially a week to remember in Small/MicroCap land. Both the IWC (iShares Micro-Cap ETF) and Russell 2000 ETF are up about 10-11% in July, causing Small and MicroCap Twitter/X to declare, "WE ARE BACK." Maybe we are, maybe we're not, but Maj, Jan and I discuss this most recent breakout. We discuss opportunities in Aerospace, how there's info arbitrage opportunities everywhere and more! We discussed a number of stocks during our interview today, Maj and Jan also may or may not own companies that comprise their Tier One Quality MicroCap Index, please see MS MicroCaps and Geoinvesting for full disclosure.

There was so much that happened at the Planet MicroCap Showcase: VEGAS 2024, that I thought it would be fun to do a post-event debrief. Joining me were arguably the two busiest people at the event besides our staff, Maj Soueidan from GeoInvesting and Mathieu Martin from the Rivemont MicroCap Fund, who between them did 14 fireside chats with management teams, attended additional presentations on top of that, and another 20-25 1x1s combined on Thursday. In our chat today, we talked about what Q&As and companies stood out to them, as well as differential insights gained from the 1x1s/Q&As they participated in.

My guest on the show today is Chris Abbott, CIO of 1035 Capital Management. As it states on the 1035 Capital Management website, "our passion is to uncover these opportunities [companies undergoing fundamental business improvements that should drive future stock returns] before the ramifications of a positive catalyst become evident to the majority of investors, a concept we call “front running the black box.” This quote encapsulates everything we talk about today: the idea of eclectic value, intelligent diversification, MicroCap turnarounds, and we dive into a few stocks that exemplify some of these themes, as well as Chris' 'Small Cap Core' investment strategy.

My guest on the show today is Joe Lucosky, Managing Partner at Lucosky Brookman. You might take one look at this title and might not think this is for you; as an investor you might wonder why should you care whether a company decides to uplist, cross-list or even delist? What do these terms even mean? Why is the company wasting their time even considering any of these corporate actions? If you've ever asked yourself this question, whether you're an investor or even an issuer, this is without a doubt the episode for you. Even if you've never thought about these topics, I think you'll find our conversation fascinating. In the world of Micro and Nano-caps, this conversation is happening in every boardroom: should we uplist to the NASDAQ from OTC Markets? What's this new U.S. Listings program at CBOE? Should we delist to the OTCQX, QB or the Pinks? Is it too soon for us to Uplist? Should we cross-list onto OTC or NASDAQ? Should we do a simultaneous raise with uplist or cross-list? How will our investors react to this? I've known Joe for years and has given multiple keynotes on this topic at our recent investor conferences, including a Keynote Q&A with Erik Sloane from the CBOE at the Planet MicroCap Showcase: VEGAS on April 30, 2024. You don't want to miss that. This is Joe's topic, his bread and butter, and he truly enjoys helping companies understand what makes the most sense for them. I think we do a good job covering every angle on the topic, but look, I invite you to give it a listen, and would love your feedback on this one.

My guest on the show today is Griffin Marie, Vice President of Business Development at SumZero. We've teamed up with SumZero for a couple fun initiatives for the Planet MicroCap Showcase: VEGAS 2024: the Allocators Roundtable Panel and the "Allocators Power Hour", where we'll have allocators on a panel discussing their mandates and what they are looking for amongst the pool of talented Small/Micro/NanoCap buy side investors. Following that panel from 2pm-6pm we'll have space to host 1x1 meetings for Allocators to meet our buy-side attendees in 30 minute, speed dating meetings. We're very excited about adding all of this to our program this year, and I invited Griffin on the pod to discuss the importance of institutional validation and the growing interest amongst allocators to engage with talented Small/Micro/Nano-cap strategies.

My guest on the show today is my friend and frequent guest, Fadi Diab, better known as @TheGladiatorHC on Twitter/X. It's been well over a year since he's been on the show, and we had a bunch of topics I wanted to get his take on, in particular, how the Australian MicroCap market has fared for the Gladiator in 2023 and their performance relative to North American microcaps. Fadi is the eternal speculator and while some of you may run away when you hear mining, cannabis or better yet, psychedelics, he's running as fast as he can towards it looking for hidden gems. We chat about all this and more!

My guest on the show today is Maj Soueidan, Founder and Editor, and Jan Svenda, Senior Equity Analyst, at GeoInvesting. I welcomed back my friends, Maj and Jan, to discuss their latest venture, MS MicroCap Cliffnotes and their Tier One Quality MicroCap Index. As some of you may know, we run an index as well called the Planet MicroCap Index that we use for educational purposes only to better understand how the general MicroCap market is performing with specific rules that allow for smaller, relatively illiquid names, growthy/pre-revenue/unprofitable names to be included. Maj and Jan launched an index, where, as it states on the MS Cliffnotes website, "the qualification of a stock to be added to the index is determined by quality, valuation, price momentum indicators, multi-bagger potential, qualitative analysis and market cap," and, "the rebalancing of the MSM index occurs on an active basis, not just quarterly or monthly." I think indices like this are necessary because you could take one look at our index at Planet MicroCap, and you'd be correct to think, that the MicroCap space has been in the doldrums for 2+ years. However, when you look at an index that assesses more qualitative factors, you'll see that the Tier One Quality index, for example, has a current return of 27.60% and average peak return of 76.84%. I wanted to better understand Maj and Jan's criteria for inclusion, as well as what differentiates their index from it being a "model portfolio."

My guest on the show today is Brian Bares, Founder, Portfolio Manager, and Research Analyst at Bares Capital Management. I had the opportunity to meet Brian at Ian Cassel's MicroCapClub Leadership Summit last year in Chicago, where he participated in a Q&A with Connor Haley and Ian. Brian has an incredible background and vast amount of experience, not just investing in Small/MicroCaps, but also building a small/microcap strategy from scratch. In our conversation today, we talk about what it takes to launch a small/microcap strategy, how that process has changed in the last 25 years and how to differentiate yourself in order to stand out in a now crowded field of talented investors.
