Podcasts about Equity

This week, in Episode 270, we dig into employee ownership with two people who've lived it: Kris Maynard and Justin Jordan of Cathedral Holdings, a 100-percent employee-owned ESOP since 2011. Kris and Justin are enthusiastic proponents of ESOPs, but they're also candid about what can go wrong. Yes, ESOPs come with big tax advantages. But the transaction can be complex. The debt can fundamentally change the risk profile of a business. And perhaps the most under-discussed challenge of all: not all employees embrace employee ownership. Some see it as little more than a glorified retirement plan. And here's the thing: an ESOP can be a far riskier retirement plan than many understand. They differ from 401(k)s in that there's no regulation requiring an ESOP to sequester its employees' retirement funds. If the company fails—and like all businesses, ESOPs do fail—those nest eggs can vanish. Kris and Justin explain how they've addressed these issues and what they might do differently if they were starting over. They also emphasize an important point: Not all ESOPs are created equal. “If you've seen one ESOP,” Justin likes to say, “you've seen one ESOP.”

Understanding Corporate Financing and Securities RegulationThis conversation provides a comprehensive overview of corporate law, focusing on the lifecycle of a corporation from its formation to dissolution. It covers key concepts in corporate financing, including equity and debt, the intricacies of issuing shares, and the legal frameworks governing mergers, acquisitions, and securities regulation. The discussion emphasizes the balance between shareholder interests and corporate governance, highlighting important legal standards and case law that shape the corporate landscape.In the complex world of corporate law, understanding the nuances of corporate financing and securities regulation is crucial, especially for those preparing for law exams or the bar. This blog post explores the foundational principles and key legal frameworks that govern these areas, providing a comprehensive overview for students and professionals alike.Corporate Financing: Corporate financing is the lifeblood of any corporation, enabling it to grow and thrive. It primarily involves two methods: equity financing, where a company sells ownership stakes, and debt financing, where it borrows money. Each method has its own implications for ownership, control, and financial obligations. Equity financing offers flexibility and potential for high returns, while debt financing provides tax advantages but comes with fixed repayment obligations.Securities Regulation: The regulation of securities is essential to ensure transparency and fairness in the financial markets. The Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 form the backbone of federal securities law, focusing on disclosure and preventing fraud. These laws require companies to provide detailed information to investors, enabling informed decision-making and protecting against misleading practices.Key Legal Frameworks: Several landmark cases and legal doctrines shape the landscape of corporate law. The Unocal and Revlon cases set standards for board defenses against hostile takeovers and the duty to maximize shareholder value during sales. The Weinberger case established the entire fairness standard for transactions involving controlling shareholders, ensuring protection for minority interests.Navigating the world of corporate financing and securities regulation requires a deep understanding of both the legal principles and the practical implications. By mastering these concepts, law students and professionals can effectively guide corporations through the complexities of financial growth and regulatory compliance.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in corporate law and finance.TakeawaysUnderstanding the balance of interests in corporate law is crucial.Equity financing involves ownership stakes, while debt financing does not dilute ownership.The board of directors has significant discretion in declaring dividends.Cumulative preferred stock accumulates unpaid dividends, providing protection to shareholders.The market out exception can limit appraisal rights for minority shareholders.Entire fairness is the standard for freeze-out mergers involving controlling shareholders.The 33 Act focuses on initial public offerings, while the 34 Act regulates secondary market trading.Insider trading liability can arise under different theories, including classic and misappropriation.Exemptions from registration requirements are vital for capital formation.Dissolution can occur voluntarily, administratively, or judicially, with specific procedures to follow.corporate law, financing, equity, debt, mergers, acquisitions, securities regulation, insider trading, corporate governance, shareholder rights.

Spencer Dennis was an elite golfer whose playing career ended with spine surgery in his teens. He became a tour-level coach, running high-performance programs for juniors, college players, and pros. Managing parents, trainers, and recruiters through texts and email was chaos, so he built CoachNow to guide athletes between sessions.  CoachNow caught on quickly with busy coaches. Then a run of decisions—turning off revenue under "grow fast" advice, stacking convertibles and preferences, and accepting stock-for-stock deals—left Spencer with little to show for a product customers loved. This is a cautionary tale for any owner negotiating with "sophisticated" investors.

In this final episode of Season 3 of Tech It to the Limit, hosts Sarah Harper and Elliott Wilson go global and get grounded with a very special guest. After sharing travel tales from Germany and the HLTH conference, Sarah and Elliott debut their new game, “Trust-O-Meter,” rating real-world health tech scandals and solutions on a scale from “hospital stairwell cell signal” to “grandma's green bean casserole.”Then, they sit down with Dr. David Rhew, Global Chief Medical Officer at Microsoft, for a wide-ranging, surprisingly personal conversation on everything from his pivot from academia to industry ( a VA grant pushed him out) to the future of oculomics, voice biomarkers, and responsible AI. Dr. Rhew breaks down the three layers of bias, explains why implementation is everything, and doesn't shy away from the hard truth about AI and the future of the healthcare workforce. It's a deep, funny, and profoundly human conversation to close out the season.The episode wraps with Wise Nugs and a final health tech haiku, leaving listeners hopeful and ready for Season 4.Key TakeawaysTrust needs humans in the loop :AI earns credibility when it supports clinical workflows, not replaces them.Bias hides in plain sight :Data, model design, and deployment all carry bias. Responsible AI means addressing all three.Implementation eats innovation for breakfast: Technology does not change healthcare; adoption and usability do.Your eyes and voice are the new vital signs :Oculomics and voice biomarkers are turning everyday signals into early detection tools.Equity must be built in, not bolted on:“Neutral AI” does not exist. Fairness and transparency have to be engineered from the start.Automation is not the enemy; stagnation is :AI will replace tasks, not purpose. The key is reskilling and redefining human work.In this episode:[00:00:13] Welcome to the season 3 finale[00:01:19] Host travel log[00:05:24] Game debut: Trust-o-meter[00:22:01] Interview: Dr. David Rhew[00:23:34] Dad jokes and Korean BBQ regrets[00:25:27] From white coat to cloud[00:30:52] Bridging the hype-reality gap[00:34:50] Oculomics: The 2-minute eye scan[00:38:02] The DMA of bias[00:45:27] The TRAIN consortium[00:48:45] Cloud consolidation and data stewardship[00:58:29] Call to action: Operationalizing trust[01:05:32] Spicy nugs: Key takeaways[01:14:09] Health tech haiku and sign-offResources:Tech It To The Limit PodcastWebsite Apple PodcastDr. David RhewLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-rhew-m-d-1832764/Sarah HarperLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahbethharperElliott WilsonLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewelliottwilson

Growth equity has evolved from the “middle child” between venture and buyout into a distinct and increasingly institutionalized part of the private markets ecosystem. Its role in capital formation, the characteristics of the companies it targets, and the ways value is created have sharpened its identity in a post-COVID market.

L'episodio di oggi introduce la nuova serie del podcast intitolata: “Game Changer”. Qui non si fanno PR.Qui si parla di scelte vere, di tensioni strategiche, di futuro industriale — con il coraggio di dire le cose come stanno. Quando accendiamo il microfono, lo facciamo per una ragione precisa:le persone che invitiamo non sono ospiti, ma protagonisti.Founder, CEO, innovatori — scelti perché stanno facendo, hanno fatto, o faranno la differenza. In questa puntata, parliamo di un'impresa italiana che ha cambiato le regole del gioco nella ristorazione digitale, per voce del suo CEO Domenico Palmisani. Questa è la storia di iPratico. Fondata a Lecco, è una tech company nata per rivoluzionare il modo in cui ristoranti, bar e locali gestiscono le proprie attività.È stata tra la prima azienda al mondo a introdurre un POS su iPad, trasformando un semplice tablet in uno strumento professionale capace di gestire l'intero ciclo operativo: dagli ordini alla cassa, dal magazzino all'analisi dei dati. Oggi conta oltre 9.000 attività clienti in Italia e all'estero, una crescita del 21% nel 2024, e una squadra oltre 50 professionisti che ogni giorno trasformano la tecnologia in un alleato concreto per i ristoratori. La vera innovazione, per iPratico, non è nella tecnologia in sé,ma nel modo in cui potenzia le persone e permette loro di concentrarsi su ciò che conta davvero: offrire un servizio impeccabile. A guidare la conversazione di oggi è Marco Mizzau — già CEO di aziende complesse, oggi Senior Advisor per fondi di Private Equity e banche d'affari.Un investitore con il fiuto per le imprese che cambiano le regole del gioco. Marco ha visto cosa succede quando visione e capitale si incontrano… o si scontrano. E come sempre, lo farà senza filtri. Se siete qui, non è per ascoltare.È per capire chi cambierà davvero il business italiano. Questo episodio è una produzione Zero IN – Sharing Knowledge. Siamo sempre alla ricerca di nuove voci e storie da raccontare.Per maggiori informazioni, visitate zeroin.it o scrivete a segreteria@zeroin.it.

In this Prof Responds episode, Professor Wamble tackles the fallacy of equity at Hogwarts: the idea that sharing wands and classrooms means sharing opportunity. Building on listener insights, he traces four fault lines: curriculum that trains spell-casting but not citizenship, a hidden labor economy (house-elves/goblins) that sustains privilege, ableism that sidelines Squibs, and a house system that rewards conformity over curiosity. Along the way, he draws clear parallels to our world, showing how “equal access” without critical thinking, support, and inclusion simply reproduces the same power structures—magical and otherwise.

Alex Daniels, Founder and CTO at Predoc, joins the show to share how he is building a mission driven healthtech company that is changing how medical data is accessed and used. He opens up about the personal story that inspired Predoc, how he keeps culture authentic while scaling, and what zero turnover really looks like in a startup. From hiring philosophies to equity design to managing context switching, Alex brings a deeply human view of leadership in engineering.Key Takeaways• Building culture starts with personal connection. Founders who share their why help every new hire connect to mission and meaning.• The best hiring filters are values and networks, not just tech stack alignment.• Predoc's culture formula of high agency, urgency, meritocracy, and transparency keeps turnover at zero.• Equity is not just compensation. It is shared ownership and long term motivation.• Flat structures and super ICs can scale effectively when leaders stay close to the work.Timestamped Highlights[01:30] How a personal loss and a lifelong heart condition inspired Predoc's mission to fix healthcare data[05:20] Inside Predoc's culture formula and why it has helped them retain every hire for three years[09:40] Why core values stay constant but merit evolves as the company grows[13:00] Rethinking equity and risk for early startup employees[15:10] How Predoc combats AI assisted interview cheating and keeps hiring authentic[23:45] Building a flat team structure where directors are still super ICs[30:00] Alex's approach to managing context switching and mental decompressionMemorable Line“We cared about what he cared about and why would he care about what we care about if I don't care about him?”Call to ActionIf you enjoyed this conversation, follow The Tech Trek for more candid talks with founders and tech leaders shaping the future of engineering and culture.

In this episode, portfolio manager Peter Lampert discusses the evolving landscape of international equities, with a special focus on the portfolio's exposure to AI enablers—companies powering the semiconductor supply chain, from power supply units to memory makers. Lampert explains the importance of distinguishing between firms merely riding the AI investment wave and those whose competitive positions are fundamentally strengthening as a result. The conversation also explores attractive valuations outside the U.S., the growing role of Japanese companies amid governance reforms and IT modernization, and the need for careful risk management as AI adoption and global trends unfold. Lampert emphasizes a diversified, long-term approach—balancing AI-driven growth, sector-specific opportunities in Europe and Asia, and resilience against macro risks—to position the portfolio for sustainable value creation in a rapidly changing world.   Key highlights: How international equities are benefiting from AI infrastructure growth, focusing on companies enabling the semiconductor supply chain (e.g., power supply units, memory makers).  The importance of distinguishing between firms temporarily boosted by AI demand and those with strengthening long-term competitive advantages.  Attractive valuations and growth opportunities for AI enablers outside the U.S., particularly in Europe, Taiwan, and Korea.  An examination of portfolio diversification, including exposure to Japanese companies amid governance reforms and IT modernization. Risk management in balancing AI exposure with other portfolio drivers and the need for resilience as adoption and global trends evolve.  The ongoing debate around incumbent software companies' ability to adapt to AI, emphasizing a case-by-case, long-term approach.    Host: Rob Campbell, CFA – Institutional Portfolio Manager Guest: Peter Lampert, CFA – Portfolio Manager   This episode is available for download anywhere you get your podcasts.

In this episode, I sit down with Michael Joseph and Phil Mederi from the Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship for a deep dive into the principles of self-governance, natural law, and the spiritual foundations of sovereignty.We explore the invisible contracts that bind us to a corporate fiction, the difference between natural rights and state-granted privileges, and why true freedom begins with self-responsibility and principle. Together, we break down the public versus private divide, the role of contracts in our daily lives, and how to live with greater awareness inside—or entirely outside—the system.If you've ever sensed that the world's “rules” aren't natural law but manmade constructs designed to keep you small, this conversation will open new doors of understanding. It's not about fighting the system—it's about remembering who you are, reclaiming your inherent sovereignty, and learning to live in alignment with divine order.

Finding the right firm fit (and a well-defined path to partnership) can take time—and sometimes, the courage to start over. From wirehouse beginnings to RIA partnership, Maggie Rapplean's journey shows how clarity, persistence, and the right environment can open the door to both ownership and balance. Maggie is a Partner at Moneta Group, an RIA based in St. Louis, Missouri, where she oversees $250 million in AUM for 108 client households. Listen in as she shares how her career transitions have helped her find the equity path she was seeking. We talk about how she successfully took over a retiring advisor's book of business, how she achieved a high retention rate in part by refreshing these clients' financial plans and offering deeper tax planning services, and how building her own team has helped her balance career growth with family life.
