Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We were live from Berlin, which becomes the “capital of private capital” in June as the private equity's industry leaders make the annual pilgrimage to the city for one of the marquee private equity conferences, SuperReturn Berlin.Much of the SuperReturn conference is centered on fundraising. GPs take up every available space — from hotel rooms to Tiny Space cabins that line the parking spots on Budapester Strasse outside of the InterContinental conference venue — to conduct meetings with LPs.With Prosek Partners and former Bloomberg TV journalist Deirdre Bolton as my producer, along with her team, we took over a Tiny Space cabin to hold big conversations with some of the industry's leading alternative asset managers.Our first conversation was with Apax Co-CEOs Andrew Sillitoe and Mitch Truwit.Apax is one of the pioneers in the private equity industry. The firm's rich history dates back to the 1970s, when its founders, Alan Patricof (US), Sir Ronald Cohen (UK), and Maurice Tchénio (France), came together to establish the first US-UK partnership firm in private equity. During that time period, the firm backed Steve Jobs and the first iteration of Apple. The UK and US firms merged in 1981, laying the foundation for Apax.Today, Apax stands at over $80B in aggregate funds raised. The firm underwent its second leadership transition in 2014, when Andrew and Mitch were elected as Co-CEOs, succeeding Martin Halusa, who became Chairman.Apax sits in a unique position. They are a scaled platform that focuses on the middle market. They operate across three sectors, Tech, Services, and Digital / Consumer, infusing a digital DNA and value creation team into everything they do. Their platform spans “a mile wide and a mile deep,” which is what much of the conversation between Andrew, Mitch, and me unpacked.We had a fascinating discussion about the current state of private equity and the middle market, why Apax focuses on “density-driven business models,” why the firm focuses on carveouts in the middle market, what's underappreciated about the middle market, why it's important to “buy in the right neighborhood and fix it up,” and how the firm's core values of “having impact through insight and tenacity” drive every decision they make.BiosAndrew Sillitoe has been Co-CEO of Apax since 2014. He is Chairman of the Apax Global Investment Committee and the Digital Investment Committee, amongst others. He is also a member of the Apax Executive Committee. He has been based in London since joining the Firm in 1998, focusing on Tech & Telco investments.Andrew has been involved in a number of investments including Inmarsat, Intelsat, King, Orange Switzerland, TIVIT, TDC and Unilabs.Prior to joining Apax, Andrew was a consultant at LEK. Andrew holds an MA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Oxford and an MBA from INSEAD.BoardsAndrew has previously served on the boards of Inmarsat, King, Intelsat, Orange Switzerland and TDC.Mitch Truwit is Co-CEO of Apax, based in New York.Prior to joining Apax in 2006, Mitch was the President and CEO of Orbitz Worldwide between 2005 and 2006 and was the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of priceline.com between 2001 and 2005.Mitch is a graduate of Vassar College where he received a BA in Political Science. He also holds an MBA from the Harvard Business School.BoardsMitch serves as a Board member of Openlane and Trade Me. Prior boards include Advantage Sales & Marketing, Assured Partners, Dealer.com, Bankrate, Garda World, Hub International, Trader Canada, Boats Group and Quality Distribution Inc.Mitch serves on the charitable boards of the Apax Foundation, the John McEnroe Tennis Project, Posse and StreetSquash.Thanks, Andrew and Mitch, for a fascinating conversation and for sharing your expertise, wisdom, and passion at the intersection of investing and operating in private equity.Show Notes00:00 Meet Apax co-CEOs, Andrew Sillitoe and Mitch Truwit00:26 Andrew's Origins at Apax00:47 Private Equity Then vs Now01:25 Apax Growth and Values01:45 Curiosity as a Differentiator02:04 Mitch's Operator Background02:56 Why Mitch Joined Apax03:40 Defining the Middle Market04:14 Why Sub-Billion EV Works04:59 Middle Market Talent Gap05:20 Carve Outs as a Strategy05:29 TRADER Corporation - Canada App Turnaround06:12 Scaled Platform Advantage07:14 Digital DNA and AI Wave07:50 Top Line Growth Lever08:36 Add-ons and TAM Expansion09:33 ECI Case Study Roll Up10:07 Integration Over Collection10:28 Exit Options in a Bigger PE World10:59 Building for Multiple Buyers11:45 Fund Size Discipline12:34 Choosing Returns Over AUM13:16 Understanding Firm DNA14:01 Global Micro Investing14:49 Making Global Pods Work15:50 Scale Specialization Flexibility17:08 Where to Invest Now19:23 Buying Complexity for Value20:15 Moats and Investment Committee22:13 Why Middle Market Excites Them23:19 Future of PE and AI at Scale24:50 Impact Insight Tenacity Culture25:54 Obligation to Dissent Story26:55 Aspirational Brand Analogy27:48 Wrap Up and Thanks

Jeremy Coon sells around 1,200 pre-owned motorcycles a year out of a single store in Wildwood, Florida. No new franchises. No floor plan. No dealer fees. Just a used-bike machine he built from the ground up starting at 23 years old.In 2026 he took over a second location in Fort Myers and tripled the store's sales in his first 120 days. He went from 19 units a month to 70.This is one of the most honest, tactical conversations we have had on the show. Jeremy does not hold back. He walks through how he sources at volume, how he prices to turn, why he refuses to charge dealer fees, and what actually changes when you go from one store to two.If you sell used, want to sell more used, or are thinking about opening a second store, this one is a roadmap.What we cover:Why pre-owned is a full-time job with no truck dropping off new bikes every weekHow Jeremy sources 1,200-plus bikes a year and why trades and street buys beat the auctionThe stat that says it all: 1,200 bikes sold last year, only 5 bought from the auction, about 30 sent to itWhy chasing the auction is where a lot of dealers go wrong on fees, freight, and bikes they never even rideBuying right: why he makes his money the day he buys the unitThe 20,000-mile rule his full-time buyer is not allowed to breakHow the market shifts under you: nobody wants the bike today that everybody wanted three years agoPricing to the real market and why NADA is always chasing behind the actual selling priceWhy a bike sitting 30 days is devaluing every single day and wasting your ad spendThe no dealer fees philosophy and why it is a marketing weapon when everyone around you piles on feesThe buy here pay here lever most dealers do not have, and the $1.5 million on the books bringing $30,000 a month in interestWe Sell Fun: how a real riding culture turns into a sales and marketing engineWhy customers drive two hours and pay full price to buy from a store that feels like familyThe blueprint approach to building a team that stays 16 to 19 yearsThe honest story of acquiring a 25-year-old dealership and taking it from 19 to 70 bikes a monthGoing from pure pre-owned to running Piaggio new-unit franchises with Vespa, Aprilia, and Moto GuzziWhy watching your expenses and floor plan is the number one thing that keeps a used operation profitableHis honest advice for any dealer thinking about opening a second storeWatch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit⁠Connect with Jeremy Coon: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-coon-b5107a289/⁠Lucky U Cycles: ⁠https://luckyucycles.com⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry/⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠MotoHunt for Dealers: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠

Roy Davidoff has spent a life keeping up with the time. Born into a family of jewelers and a youth spent in Geneva, followed by a move to Miami, watches have been a constant throughout his professional career.  A return to Switzerland saw stints at brands including Bovet and Jacob & Co., before becoming a dealer of vintage and pre-owned with his brother and the launch of their business  - Roy & Sacha Davidoff SA - more than a decade ago. The fraternal duo gained prominence as dealers and experts regarding the Omega Speedmaster - a specialized section of the vintage market that has most certainly had its ups and downs. A respected name and authority in the industry, Davidoff most recently served as a jury member for The Cartier Prize For Watchmaking Talents of Tomorrow, where, alongside fellow judges including Kari Voutilainen, were tasked with making selections for creations from European watchmaking students who were chosen for their technical and artistic interpretations reconsidering different ways to tell time. Davidoff's role as a dealer and collector demands deep knowledge and constantly taking the pulse of the secondary market, shifting tastes, and changing demands. At the high-end and elite level, the market has changed, Davidoff says, as many collectors seek assurance and certainty in modern, independent brands and watchmakers. He's candid, enthusiastic, and dedicated to the Swiss industry, where he's found a place among the brands, component makers, and collectors.

David Schrader—the S in PDS (Pace Di Donna Schrader Galleries)—joins host Josh Baer on the opening day of Art Basel Basel, his first fair as an exhibitor after decades as a collector and head of private sales at Sotheby's. They cover what surprised him about being on the selling side, the "elephant in the room" of Basel vs. Paris, where the American collectors went, and why the 1–5 million range remains the market's sweet spot. Plus: pricing transparency, the cost reality of running a fair booth, the advisor economy, and why Schrader thinks the market bottomed last September, but has been moving in the right direction ever since. This episode of The Baer Faxt Live was recorded on Wednesday, June 17th, 2026.

Brian Windhorst joins the show to give his thoughts on the Lakers/Reaves news. He indicates that the two sides were initially very far apart, so the Lakers must have felt like they have to pay him a reported $185 over 4 years. Windy has a lot of praise for the duo of Luka and Reaves and says they'll score a ton and win a lot of games - but does he think they are a championship duo? The Lindsey Segment!

Fun chat with Phil McTaggart, Director of Internet Marketing at Johnson Auto Plaza in Colorado.Phil has one of the more interesting jobs in automotive right now: helping a successful, old-school dealership figure out how to balance decades of traditional advertising with the realities of digital marketing in 2026.We talk about everything from convincing ownership that paid search is a thing, to cleaning up CRMs with 17-year-old service leads still sitting in them, to why so many dealers ignore their most valuable asset: their customer data.Along the way, we debate high-funnel marketing, why sales teams should know what marketing campaigns are running, whether Amazon really wants to sell cars, and how AI might eventually judge your dealership based on a random Reddit comment from someone you've never met.We also discuss why dealerships overcomplicate things, why "because I listen to that radio station" is a terrible advertising strategy, and how Phil reinvented his career after a serious health diagnosis forced him off the showroom floor.If you're in automotive, you'll probably find yourself nodding along. If you're not, you'll at least learn why car guys can spend 20 minutes arguing about a CRM.Enjoy the conversation.

Anthony Santana survived fentanyl addiction, homelessness, drug dealing, and nearly 100 overdoses — but what he saw inside the rehab industry shocked him almost as much as the streets. In this episode of The Connect, Anthony exposes the dark world of rehab corruption, body brokering, and treatment centers allegedly profiting from fentanyl addicts through insurance payouts. He breaks down how addicts are recruited, paid, recycled through detox programs, and sometimes pushed back into relapse so the money keeps flowing. Anthony also opens up about selling fentanyl and Xanax in California, living homeless in Los Angeles, dealing drugs in MacArthur Park, surviving overdoses, and eventually finding real recovery after years of addiction. This is a raw look at the fentanyl crisis, the California rehab scam, and the hidden business behind addiction treatment. Go Support Anthony!

In this episode of the Independent Dealer Podcast, Jeff Watson and Luke Godwin sit down with Melissa Rowan, co-founder of Red White and Blue Autos in Pennsylvania and Mid-Atlantic Quality Dealer of the Year — now headed to NIADA nationals. Melissa came from investment brokerage, not the car business, and built one of the most quietly efficient BHPH operations in the country: 90+ cars a month, 3.5% delinquency, out of a single sales location, with a model that's almost entirely remote delivery.What You'll Learn:How two investment brokers with zero car experience opened a BHPH dealership in 2014 — and why the numbers-first mindset turned out to be their biggest advantageHow COVID forced Red White and Blue to pivot to curbside and delivery — and why they never went back, with 60% curbside and 40% home delivery todayWhy their show rate is near 99% and how full online transparency, all-digital paperwork, and a reputation built over 10 years makes that possibleHow Melissa manages multiple locations remotely using Slack as the single communication layer — no email, no cameras, no micromanagingWhy tracking a daily report every single day — not end of month — lets her turn up ad spend mid-week and never miss a sales goalHow staying selective with 500+ monthly applications keeps their charge-off rate under control while still selling nearly 100 units a monthWhat being nominated for National Quality Dealer means to her — and why three of the eleven nominees being women mattersIf you're a buy here pay here or independent dealer trying to figure out how to run leaner, trust your numbers over your gut, and build a team that doesn't need you watching over their shoulder — this one is for you.Support the businesses that support the podcast:Buckeye Risk Services - Reinsurance and wealth strategies for independent dealers.https://theindependentdealer.com/buckeyeBlytz - BHPH payment processing with fast funding and text-to-pay.https://theindependentdealer.com/blytzpayIturan GPS - Asset protection and customer management for BHPH and retail dealers.https://theindependentdealer.com/ituranFollow & Connect:Website: www.theindependentdealer.comFacebook Group: @independentautogroupLuke Godwin: @lukegodwinJeff Watson: /sendtojeffwLike, subscribe, and share this with a dealer who needs to hear it.

With Amy reporting from Cannes, Paul welcomes Jorma Taccone for a Dealer's Choice episode on Die Hard 2, the explosive sequel that takes John McClane to a snowbound airport under siege. Together they make the case for one of action cinema's most underrated follow-ups, celebrating Bruce Willis's swagger, Renny Harlin's direction, and the sequel's knack for escalating the stakes without losing sight of character. They also dive into the film's practical effects, memorable villains, and why Die Hard 2 remains a textbook example of how to go bigger without breaking what made the original work.
