In this episode, my guest is Jonathan Hirschtritt, Head of Sustainability & Investment at GCM Grosvenor – a leading global alternative asset manager for more than five decades.The firm manages over $80 billion across the full spectrum of alternatives and has built one of the most comprehensive impact and sustainability investing platforms in private markets.In 2017, Grosvenor brought Jonathan in to work on strategy and operations, later moving into the role of Deputy COO. Four years later, leadership asked him to take on something very different: to formalize and build Grosvenor's sustainable and impact investing platform.The firm already had a long history with underrepresented managers and other initiatives, but this mandate meant creating a dedicated team, new frameworks, and a full reporting system from scratch.“This was a brand new area… no one really had done impact reporting or sustainable reporting compared to financial reporting.”Today, Jonathan runs Grosvenor's sustainable and impact platform – representing roughly a third of the firm's AUM. It's spread across private equity, infrastructure, credit, and real estate.It's a returns-first model, fully discretionary, but built to be customized. In fact, more than 70% of Grosvenor's capital is deployed through separate accounts designed around a client's specific objectives – whether that means climate, affordable housing, labor outcomes, or education.Jonathan makes a sharp distinction between “sustainable” and “impact,” and for him it comes down to two things: intentionality and measurement. In short, if a GP accidentally does good, that's great. But that's not impact unless it was designed that way – and unless you can prove it.What struck me in our conversation is how much of Grosvenor's model is built on customization. Every mandate begins with the client's own theory of change – whether that's climate, social infrastructure, labor outcomes, or diversity – and then the team constructs an investment program to match.Jonathan doesn't talk like a marketer. He talks like a builder. Someone who's spent years designing a platform that balances customization and scale – and believes that the future of impact is about doing the hard work behind the scenes, even when no one's watching.In our conversation, he showed how the real work starts before a dollar is invested – aligning on objectives, setting outcomes, and building them into portfolio construction.We also discussed:the challenges of data reportingthe distinctions in ESG terminologythe leverage of private capitalwhy impact only scales when it moves in lockstep with performancethe growing role of AIwhat rising energy demand might mean for infrastructure and climate strategiesTune in.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

Why do good employees walk away? You might think you know, but most exit interviews never uncover the real story. People rarely say, “I left because I felt stuck” or “I couldn't see a future here.” Yet, those are often the true reasons behind turnover. In this episode, Dr. Bray breaks down a powerful interview framework that goes beyond surface answers and gets to the heart of why employees quit. These aren't ordinary exit questions; they're conversation starters that uncover what employees were searching for, what pushed them away, and what might have convinced them to stay. You'll discover: The four “quests for progress” that drive almost every job change The exact questions that reveal whether someone left for alignment, control, growth, or just to get out How to turn exit interviews into learning tools that reshape your culture Why stay interviews matter more than exit interviews and how to run them effectively If you're a leader, HR professional, or business owner, this episode gives you actionable insights and ready-to-use tools for reducing turnover. Understanding why people leave is the first step in creating a workplace where they want to stay. You don't want to miss this episode! For more information on this topic, read the HBR article spotlight on "Why did They Leave? An Interview Guide," in the November-December 2024 Issue for exact questions to use in your next exit interview. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "People rarely say, 'I left because I felt stuck' or 'I couldn't see a future here.' Yet, those are often the true reasons behind turnover."

With a background in finance and private equity, Divya attributes her entrepreneurial staying power to strong cash management and a focus on fundamentals. She shares lessons from building early ventures, from auto parts to culinary media, and how creating hyper-personalized shopping experiences led to her fastest success, selling Send the Trend just 11 months after raising funding. Time at QVC gave her valuable insights into product storytelling, ultimately inspiring her to launch beauty brand Wander Beauty, which became her third successful exit. Divya's exit advice is clear: get your house in order early (books, legal, taxes), know what you want from a deal, and hire strong operators so you can focus on the sale process. She emphasizes selling on the upswing when growth and profitability are aligned, creating competition among buyers, and avoiding short-term revenue plays that dilute brand value. Today, Divya shares her entrepreneurial lessons and AI insights via TikTok, continuing to inspire founders globally. -- Divya Gugnani is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and author with over 20 years of experience building and backing businesses. She is the Founding Partner of Concept to Co., investing in 80+ companies, and the Founder & CEO of 5 SENS, a fine fragrance brand. Previously, she co-founded Wander Beauty, later acquired by Nameless CPG, and Send the Trend, acquired by QVC. Divya began her career in finance at Goldman Sachs, Investcorp, and FirstMark Capital before becoming an “accidental entrepreneur.” Featured widely in top media outlets, she is also the author of Sexy Women Eat, and regularly mentors founders and lectures at leading universities.

For most entrepreneurs, building a business is the dream — but exiting successfully is often an afterthought. Most business owners pour their lives into creating a company only to face regret, financial gaps, or a lack of purpose when it's time to transition. Today, we'll uncover what it takes to align your business, personal, and financial goals, so your exit leads not just to financial security, but to significance and fulfillment. Joining me is Scott Snider, President of the Exit Planning Institute (EPI) and a nationally recognized leader in exit planning. Scott started his first business at 17, sold it by 24, and now helps entrepreneurs create transferable value and prepare for life after business ownership. He and his father have grown EPI into a global organization that educates thousands of advisors and empowers business owners to look beyond profit. In our conversation, Scott shares his entrepreneurial journey, including the lessons learned from selling his first company, the emotional hurdles of defining identity outside of business, and why so many owners fail to prepare for what comes next. We discuss the Value Acceleration Methodology™, the importance of building enterprise value through structural, human, social, and customer capital, and why personal planning is just as critical as business strategy. Whether you're years away from a sale or facing one sooner than expected, this episode will help you reframe your approach to leadership, value creation, and long-term wealth. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: The three “legs of the stool” that every business owner needs to align before an exit. How CEPAs help business owners prepare for a successful and profitable exit. Why many business owners grow profitable companies but fail to create transferable value. The Four Intangible Capitals that account for 80% of a company's value and how to improve them. How Scott uses the Family Business Blueprint to encourage communication in family owned businesses. Why Scott believes Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) is an emerging trend for exiting a business. How AI will be a net positive for the advisor industry if you're willing to learn and adapt.

Little by Little Homeschool - Homeschooling, Motherhood, Homemaking, Education, Family
Technology has come in like a tidal wave and our culture has just willingly accepted and adopted it all without questioning the ramifications. This isn't just for ourselves as adults, but for our children as well. At this point, you'd have to be living in a cave to not know that there is some pushback and evidence showing the negative impact screens can have on our children. But, as a homeschool parent, you spend a lot of time being intentional and wonder if you've created enough boundaries around screens for your children. Or maybe your homeschool family has adopted some habits that you have concern about and wonder how to realistically make some changes. Clare Morell, of the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of The Tech Exit is here on today's episode to give you facts, direction, and most of all, hope. She is in the trenches of motherhood, just like you are, so her advice and suggestions are not some pie in the sky dream, but realistic and practical.

For the first of Sharon's Big Brother jury exit interviews, she gets answers from the one and only Rachel Reilly, who was shockingly eliminated by a competition instead of by a vote like in a normal eviction. She answers questions about the twist and how she's feeling days later, who she holds responsible, and what she thinks about the houseguests remaining.
In this episode of Poised for Exit, we are joined by Erik Gabrielson, co-founder of ProjectWe. Erik returns to the show to share how his firm is helping business owners and professional services leaders navigate one of the most disruptive forces of our time: artificial intelligence. The conversation begins with Erik's own journey of adopting AI in early 2023, when he and his team recognized its potential to transform not only their business, but also the way their clients operate.Together, Erik and Julie explore the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into exit planning and business strategy. One of the biggest takeaways is that the real risk isn't choosing the wrong AI tools - it's avoiding the conversation altogether. Too many companies treat AI like just another software plug-in, and that's why implementations stall. Erik explains why success starts with people, trust, and careful planning, and how shifting your mindset to see AI as a teammate can unlock far greater potential.They also talk about how AI can take knowledge that usually lives with one owner and turn it into shared knowledge that strengthens the whole company. Relying too heavily on one person creates risk, but integrating AI can help reduce that dependency, and businesses that resist adoption may find themselves vulnerable when it comes to valuation.As the conversation unfolds, Julie and Erik share their collaboration on a new AI-powered application for exit planning, designed to help advisors scale their work, support more owners, and drive better outcomes.This episode is a must-listen for advisors and business owners who want to stay ahead of the curve and position themselves for long-term success.Curious where your business stands?

Are you making choices today that could quietly cost you millions when it's time to sell? In this episode, Emmet Scott sits down with Brannon Moncrief, CEO of McLerran & Associates, to unpack the biggest exit mistakes owners make. Brannon shares why doctor turnover can sink a deal, how quick tech stack changes or PPO exits backfire, and why private equity is laser-focused on $500k–$5M EBITDA practices. You'll also hear why dentistry may be recession-proof, but not inflation-proof, and the smart move every dental owner should make.
In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with Paul Buckley — the fiercely honest and deeply reflective founder behind C2O Group. From nearly going pro in golf to blowing his savings in a poker room, to scaling and selling one of Australia's fastest-growing engineering companies, Paul shares his rollercoaster journey through ambition, burnout, and bold reinvention. You'll hear how Paul built EPS Group Australia from the ground up, scaled it to $84M in revenue in just three years, and exited in a major acquisition — only to find himself mentally and emotionally depleted in the aftermath. What followed was a two-year reset, a $14M relaunch, and a second act that's bigger, sharper, and backed by one of the world's leading private equity funds. If you're a founder who's exited (or wants to), this episode is your blueprint for navigating what comes next — the highs, the regrets, and the resilience it takes to start again.

The Pentagon has officially mandated the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) for defense contracts, transitioning from a policy framework to enforceable requirements. This regulation, set to take effect on November 10, 2025, requires contractors to meet specific cybersecurity benchmarks based on the sensitivity of the information they handle. With three certification levels, the CMMC aims to ensure that defense-focused providers adhere to stringent cybersecurity standards. This shift presents both opportunities and challenges for managed service providers (MSPs), as some small and medium-sized businesses may opt out of defense contracts due to compliance costs.In a significant development, researchers from New York University have demonstrated the feasibility of AI-powered ransomware, dubbed Ransomware 3.0. This proof-of-concept malware utilizes advanced large-language models to create targeted attacks, making it more difficult to detect and defend against. The incident underscores the growing trend of cybercriminals leveraging AI tools, raising concerns about the potential for real-world applications of such technology. Meanwhile, Microsoft has made multi-factor authentication (MFA) mandatory for Azure portal sign-ins, aiming to enhance cybersecurity and reduce account compromise risks.The podcast also highlights KnowBefore's new white paper on human risk management in cybersecurity, emphasizing a people-centric approach to bolster security culture. Additionally, Secret Double Octopus has launched a program to help MSPs eliminate passwords entirely, moving beyond traditional MFA solutions. Ignite has introduced AI agents tailored for the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors, streamlining documentation tasks and reducing project risks. Sentinel-1's acquisition of Observo AI aims to enhance security operations by improving data management capabilities.Apple recently unveiled updates to its operating systems and new hardware, including the iPhone 17, which features significant security enhancements like Memory Integrity Enforcement. The company is shifting to a year-based version numbering system for its OS updates, aiming for consistency across its ecosystem. While Apple introduced exciting new features, concerns linger about its AI capabilities compared to competitors like Google and Samsung. The podcast concludes by emphasizing the importance of security improvements and the potential support challenges that IT leaders may face as clients compare Apple devices with Android alternatives.
