In Episode #130, we deconstruct Robert Cantwell's peak performance playbook—from their favorite book to the tiny habit that's had the biggest impact on their life. Robert is the Portfolio Manager at Compound Kings. We cover longevity in investing, source documents, and learning from fintwit. “I wish someone told me that who you work with peer-wise is the number one driver of whether or not you enjoy working or not.” – Robert Cantwell EPISODE GUIDE (LINKS, QUOTES, NOTES, AND BOOKS MENTIONED) https://www.danielscrivner.com/notes/robert-cantwell-playbook  FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPT https://www.danielscrivner.com/notes/robert-cantwell-playbook-transcript  CHAPTERS In this episode, we deconstruct Robert Cantwell's peak performance playbook—from his favorite book to the tiny habit that's had the biggest impact on his life. In it we cover: (00:00:00) – Introduction (00:02:13) – Longevity in investing (00:03:37) – Investment philosophy at Compound Kings (00:09:05 – Source documents can level up investment knowledge (00:11:23) – Consuming info vs. processing info (00:14:02) – Key tools and learnings from fintwit (00:16:30) – Who you spend your time with is paramount ABOUT ROBERT CANTWELL Robert Cantwell is Founder of Upholdings and Portfolio Manager of Compound Kings, which is an exchange traded fund focused on investing in compounders. I had Robert Cantwell on last year in episode 23, where he joined me shortly after launching Compound Kings in late 2020. Before founding Upholdings and launching Compound Kings, Robert had an incredible career, both as an operator and an investor. Robert started his career as an analyst at Elevation Partners, which was co-founded by U2's lead singer Bono. He then worked at the long short hedge fund Meru Capital before serving as Everlane CFO for five years. Robert founded Upholdings in 2019 and officially launched Compound Kings in late 2020. In this episode, we cover why Robert is obsessed with how we think, process information and make decisions. The single biggest lessons that Robert has taken away from launching and scaling Compound Kings over the last two years, how being a compounding focused investor is different than being solely growth or value focused, why he skips to the back of investment books and goes straight to the source material to form his own opinions about the contents of the book, the investing tools that he and his team use daily at Compound Kings to beat the S&P 500, and his three-step process for consuming thinking through and ultimately coming to conclusions about everything that he reads.

Bono est un chanteur mais aussi un entrepreneur. Né Paul Hewson, il s'investit beaucoup pour 2 causes: l'entrepreneuriat et l'Afrique. Pour l'Afrique, il lance One puis le label RED des initiatives pour lutter contre la pauvreté ou les maladies en Afrique. ll implique beaucoup d'entrepreneurs à ses côtés pour financer ces projets. Le magazine Time finit même par écrire “Est-ce que Bono peut sauver le monde ?”. Il fonde avec sa femme, Alison Hewson, la marque de vêtements, Edun, une marque qui fait fabriquer en Afrique. Bernard Arnault et LVMH investissent même dans l'entreprise, Edun. Mais Bono n'a pas autant de succès avec ses entreprises qu'avec ses chansons. Edun perd beaucoup d'argent et LVMH se retire puis son projet d'hôtel à Dublin est un gouffre financier. Pire même, il est nommé par une revue spécialisée, comme le “pire investisseur aux États-Unis”. Son fonds, Elevation Partners accumule les mauvais investissements. Mais son karma va tourner le jour où Elevation Partners investit dans Facebook qui représente alors une grosse partie de la fortune de Paul Hewson. U2 continue de lui rapporter beaucoup d'argent avec des tournées mondiales. Mais son projet de vie ? Éradiquer la faim dans le monde et notamment en Afrique.

Bono est un chanteur mais aussi un entrepreneur. Né Paul Hewson en 1960 à Dublin, il rencontre Larry Mullen Jr en 1976 au lycée avec lequel il fonde un groupe de rock. Enfant rebelle, Paul s'est essayé à tout. Échecs, théâtre, sa vraie passion est le chant. Puis en 1976, il fonde un groupe de musique avec Larry Mullen Jr, Adam Clayton et David Evans (The Edge). Nommé Feedback qui devient The Hype puis U2 en 1978 , le groupe sous la houlette d'un Bono avec une voix très marquée, gagne un concours de concours mais ne sait pas chanter en studio. C'est l'arrivée de Paul Mc Guiness qui va les aider à se professionnaliser. Cet écossais au sens business aigu transforme le groupe. Puis ils signent chez Island Record pour 4 albums. 4 albums qui vont tout exploser. Boy avec leur single “I will follow”, puis War avec “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, ou enfin Joshua Tree avec “With or without you”. Le groupe devient mythique et commence des tournées dans le monde entier. Sa tournée, ZOO TV, à la suite de l'album Achtung Baby sorti en 1990 rapporte 67 millions de dollars. L'album, le plus vendu en 2000, All you can't leave behind cumule les prix. Mais Bono n'est pas seulement un chanteur mais un entrepreneur qui très tôt s'intéresse à la Silicon Valley. Il propose à Steve Jobs une des ses chansons gratuitement pour le lancement de l'Ipod puis fonde un fonds d'investissement, Elevation Partners. Il investit dans Yelp, Forbes… Mais tout n'est pas rose pour lui.

This episode features an interview with Roger McNamee. His official bio at Elevation Partners, an investment firm, says that since 2017 he has been involved in ”a campaign to trigger a national conversation about the dark side of social media“. He is the author of a book, Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe, published by HarperCollins in 2019, that has an account of his role as an investor and advisor to the company and his ultimate recognition of the harms it causes at scale. To many listeners, his voice on these issues is well known- he is a frequent commentator on technology on shows such as “Squawk Alley” CNBC and on Ali Velshi's show on MSNBC, and he is a regular at conferences that delve into topics at the intersection of tech and democracy. He knows the tech bro culture well enough to have served as a technical advisor for multiple seasons of HBO's “Silicon Valley” series, a show that lampoons the people and industry there. Roger also a philanthropist and a musician- he plays in the bands Moonalice and Doobie Decibel System, on bass and guitar. If you follow him on Twitter @moonalice, you will get to hear his frequent livestreams, sometimes solo, and sometimes with the band. We caught up with Roger to get his sense of where the movement to regulate and hold technology firms to account is at the moment, particularly in the U.S. 

Today, we will be diving into Facebook. A business that requires little introduction, Facebook was launched in 2004 from Marc Zuckerberg's Harvard dorm room. Zuckerberg has since grown Facebook into the largest social network in the world and continues to operate the business today. To break down Facebook, I am first joined by Robert Cantwell, founder and CIO of Upholdings. Rob's unique background makes him an ideal person to speak on Facebook. Rob shared a dorm with Zuckerberg, went on to work at Elevation Partners, a large private investor in Facebook, and eventually became CFO of Everlane, where expansion was closely tied to the growth of Instagram and its advertising tools. We touch on how Facebook successfully navigated the transition from desktop to mobile, what drives the value of the network, and where Facebook may drive value in the future.   I am then joined by Jesse Pujji, a familiar voice as a host of Business Breakdowns. Jesse's time as co-founder and CEO at Ampush make him ideal to break down the advertising business of Facebook. During our conversation, Jesse outlines the basic dynamics of the Facebook ad ecosystem, the economic proposition to an advertiser, and how to assess risks to Facebook's control of the digital ad market.   Facebook is such an interesting business, and we could likely speak for hours on the potential opportunities for growth. We decided to focus on the core advertising business today, given it represents 98% of revenue. In the future, we want to dedicate individual Breakdowns to WhatsApp, Oculus, and potentially other Facebook initiatives that are worthy of their own deep dives alone. I hope you enjoy this conversation on Facebook.   For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page here. ----- This episode is brought to you by Canalyst.

In 2006, Roger McNamee played a crucial role in convincing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg not to sell his company to Yahoo!.

Roger McNamee has been a successful Silicon Valley investor for thirty five years.  He co-founded Silver Lake and Elevation Partners, two very successful private equity funds.  He also plays bass and guitar in the bands Moonalice and Doobie Decibel System.  He holds a BA from Yale and an MBA from Dartmouth's Tuck School. He has written 4 books, the latest one titled Zucked: Waking up to the Facebook Catastrophe.   Some interesting insights from this episode:  Roger had a very unusual approach to tech investing which allowed him to be highly successful.  Learn why he started Elevation Partners with U2's Bono.  Hear how one pivotal meeting with Mark Zuckerberg would forever alter the course of Facebook.  It was Facebook's lack of anonymity that Roger felt was key to bridging the gap to a much larger mainstream audience that prior social media companies had failed to reach.  While they are technically a platform, Facebook acts more like a media company by using sophisticated algorithms to control the content that users see on the site.  Social media manipulates us by exploiting the weakness in human psychology.  Learn what filter bubbles are and why they've contributed to our accepting and spreading false information.  “Technology has changed the way we engage with society, substituting passive consumption of content and ideas for civic engagement, digital communications for conversation.”  “Excellence is an outcome that reflects mastery of an activity in a time and in a place.”

Roger McNamee is one of the most successful technology investors of all time. While running the T. Rowe Price Science & Technology Fund, and generating a 17% compound average growth rate in the process, Roger made the unheard of move of committing capital, as a mutual fund manager, to venture investments in Electronic Arts and Sybase. From there, he started the industry's first crossover fund with John Doer, investing in both late-stage venture capital and public market securities. In March of 2000, he co-founded private equity firm Silver Lake Partners in anticipation of the tech bust and, in 2004, founded Elevation Partners where he would become one of the first investors in Facebook and other nascent tech stars. In this episode, Roger shares what made him so successful as an investor, how music saved his life and why he has shifted his focus today from investing in tech to warning of the rising risks tech giants present to democracy and society.
