For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I caught up with Adam Epstein, Founder of Third Creek Advisors, LLC. I previously had Adam on the podcast for Episode 22, where we discussed the importance of paying attention to corporate governance. Since then, a new platform has been launched, called, “Small Cap Institute”, whose ecosystem, as it states on their website, “is designed to elevate objective, differentiated education and transformative peer exchange, and empower small cap leaders to avoid value-destructive advice.” Founded by David Scher, who, as it states on their website, “occupies a unique vantage point from which to understand at a granular level which issues are most troubling to small-cap CEOs and Boards.” Most of you know David from his work at LD Micro with Chris Lahiji, and Adam Epstein joined Small Cap Institute’s advisory board to support and help David execute the mission and problem SCI is trying to solve – a potential antidote to MicroCap value destruction. Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube! All archived episodes and each new episode will be posted on the SNN Network YouTube channel.

For this episode of the PlanetMicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Adam J. Epstein, Founder of Third CreekAdvisors, LLC. Mr. Epstein is a former institutional investor, well-known speaker on corporate governance, and the author of the best-selling resource created specifically for small-cap corporate directors, titled, “The Perfect Corporate Board: A Handbook for Mastering the Unique Challenges of Small-Cap Companies.” As defined by Investopedia, Corporate Governance, “is the system of rules, practices and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. Corporate Governance essentially involves balancing the interests of the many stakeholders in a company – these include shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers, government and the community. Since corporate governance also provides the framework for attaining a company’s objectives it encompasses practically every sphere of management from action plans and internal controls to performance measurement and corporate disclosure.” You can probably imagine the implications of having good or bad corporate governance in a MicroCap company. The goal for this episode is to learn about and define corporate governance, understand why this is important when doing your due diligence and what we can do as investors to better know what we’re getting on the corporate governance front in MicroCap companies. The Planet MicroCap Podcast is brought to you by SNN Incorporated, publishers of StockNewsNow.com, The Official MicroCap News Source, and the MicroCap Review Magazine, the leading magazine in the MicroCap market - check out the latest issue here: MicroCap Review Winter/Spring 2016 In this episode, Adam and I discuss the following topics:  - Mr. Epstein's background - Issues Third Creek Advisors helps pre-IPO and MicroCap companies with - What Corporate Governance means and why is it important tokeep in mind when looking at MicroCap companies - As a MicroCap investor, what are some qualities that we should look for in a MicroCap board of directors as a whole and individually - Typical reasons to change a board member - What do you do when the board becomes completely uncooperative? - Going back to one of your previous answers, you referenced shareholder activists.
