This week on Swimming with Allocators, Kate Simpson joins Earnest and Alexa to share her journey from starting as a history major at the UNC endowment to leading the venture strategy at multi-asset OCIO firm GEM. She explains how she learned institutional investing, specialized in private markets, and refined her craft at Parish Capital and Truebridge, including fund-of-funds due diligence, reference work, and the power of platforms and networks. The conversation dives into how to build a venture program from scratch, why alignment, patience, and resource intensity matter, and how GEM uses a barbell approach across top-tier scaled platforms and emerging managers while avoiding the “crowded middle.” Kate breaks down how LPs evaluate managers (source, pick, win), why fund math and ownership are critical, and how today's AI-driven cycle, secondary markets, and companies staying private longer are reshaping ventures. Also, don't miss Nick Cassin from Sidley as he explains the rapid growth of the private-fund secondary market, what's driving the surge in secondary and continuation vehicle (CV) transactions, and how new types of capital providers are stepping in as lead investors to provide liquidity to private-market participants.

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guests, Cathlene Miner and Aisling Owens Nash. The three talk about the origins of Hopefull Handbags as a movement to support survivors of domestic abuse, the unique approach of using donated handbags filled with essentials to open conversations and restore dignity, and the life-changing programs the organization offers to help survivors rebuild their lives—such as SHINE, which empowers individuals towards independence, employment, and long-term success.  In this episode, we discuss: How Cathlene Miner founded Hopefull Handbags in 2017, inspired by her grandmother's domestic abuse experiences and childhood memories, beginning with collecting donated handbags to provide practical support and open conversations about abuse. What drove Aisling Owens Nash to expand Hopefull Handbags to Ireland in 2021 as Executive Director of Hopefull Handbags Global Ireland, drawn by the organization's simple, impactful approach to helping survivors through community bag-packing events. When handbags serve as powerful conversation starters—packed with daily essentials like toiletries, notebooks, and handwritten messages of hope, they restore dignity and enable survivors to reach out for further support without immediate vulnerability. Why pop-up shelters and transitional support like rent assistance and children's needs are critical, addressing the statistic that over 85% of survivors return to abusers due to financial instability. What the NEW program (Navigating Employment Wins) entails—hands-on resume building, interview skills, and active job searching to ensure financial independence, rejecting the empowerment model's limitations for more direct intervention.   Cathlene Miner is the Founder CEO of Hopefull Handbags Global, Inc. Non-Profit, 501c3, Raising Hope for those getting back on their feet again due to Domestic Abuse and other Challenging Situations beginning with One Hopefull Handbag at a time. She is a Bestselling Author of the 30 Day Self Perception Makeover, and the 30 Day Self Perception Makeover Teen Edition, Mentor, Fitness Lover, International Speaker, and Radio Podcast Host. Cathlene loves her life as a homeschool mom, wife, mother of 4, and grandmother (Sea) to 3 amazing granddaughters, an entrepreneur, and a love of anything that brings a smile and joy, and a self-professed glass half full kinda girl. Cathlene and Hopefull Handbags Global believe in collaboration over competition which is why Hopefull Handbags Global hosts and are part of events that bring women, businesses, and nonprofits, and communities together because "Together We Are Stronger". She knows from her own experiences and those of her clients that with a healthy Self Perception, anything is possible to truly manifest your life on purpose and allow your dreams to unfold because you are limitless. "Never Underestimate the Power of Hope"  Aisling Owens Nash Founder, The Right Room™ | Event Experience Architect™ | Executive Director, Hopefull Handbags Global | President, Hopeful Handbags Global Ireland | Regional Head Networking Leader, MIB International (Ireland & Northern Ireland) Aisling Owens Nash is the creator of The Right Room™ and a sought-after Event Experience Architect™, designing and hosting premium live and digital experiences that transform events from inspiration-only gatherings into decision-making spaces where authority, clarity, and conversion happen. In addition to leading The Right Room™, The Expansion Room™, The Conversion Room™, and The BoardRoom Series™, Aisling serves as Executive Director of Hopefull Handbags Global and President of Hopefull Handbags Global Ireland, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering survivors of domestic abuse worldwide. She also holds the role of Regional Head Networking Leader for Ireland and Northern Ireland with MIB International, the world's fastest-growing female empowerment network, uniquely positioned as a child-friendly global business community.

How would you characterize the current level of support from the B.C. provincial government?

Finally, how does Canadian LNG stack up against other global supply sources, and what do you see as the outlook for worldwide LNG demand? Content referenced in this podcast:Steven Guilbeault Speaks to CTV's Power Play with Vassy Kapelos (December 4, 2025) Clean Prosperity study that the Federal-Alberta MOU can unlock $90 billion in low-carbon investment if governments follow through (December 4, 2025) Photos of the LNG Canada work camp at Cedar Valley Lodge Shell LNG Outlook 2025Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

MY NEWSLETTER - https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeJoin me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Stuart Draper about how to get your first customer and scale from $0 to $2M in 4 years.I had a freaking treat talking to Stu Draper today. He's an incredible startup founder who just had an eight figure exit from his EdTech company, Stukent, which helped over a million people learn digital marketing. His companies have been on the Inc 5000 list ten times, and he knows exactly how to get your first customer when you're starting from zero.We chat about his journey starting his first digital marketing agency, getfoundfirst.com, during the 2008 recession and why he prioritized being a family man by building a professional baseball field and indoor-outdoor pool over buying a Lamborghini.Stu shares actionable insights on how entrepreneurs can secure their crucial first customer (hint: it might involve working for free) and explains why starting a service-based business is often the best low-risk way for first-time founders to learn entrepreneurship and get in the game.We dive deep into why catching the early wave of AI automation agencies today is just like catching the digital marketing wave 15 years ago—and why AI agency opportunities mirror what made so many digital marketing agency founders millionaires by age 32.Finally, he tells us why focusing on sales and marketing—not mastering your P&L or balance sheet—is the most important part of building a successful business, and how he scaled to eight figures without being a financial expert by hiring a great CFO.Enjoy the conversation!__________________________QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE ANSWERS:What is the most important first step in getting from zero to your first customer?Why is starting an AI automation agency today similar to starting a digital marketing agency in 2008?What is the lowest-risk path for a new entrepreneur to get in the game?How did Stuart Draper use a free customer strategy to land his first paying client?When scaling a business from bootstrap to exit, why should startup founders focus on sales and marketing instead of the P&L?How do you create mission vision values that turn customers into believers?What's the best way to get your first customer when you have no LLC, no website, and no business email?How did Stu scale to an eight figure business without being a financial expert?Why are service-based businesses the best first business for entrepreneurs?What are the biggest business opportunities in 2025 for first-time founders?__________________________Love it or hate it, I'd love your feedback.Please fill out this brief survey with your opinion or email me at nik@cofounders.com with your thoughts.__________________________MY NEWSLETTER: https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/5avyu98yApple: https://tinyurl.com/bdxbr284YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/nikonomicsYT__________________________This week we covered:00:00 The Journey of Growth and Learning02:59 Navigating the Digital Marketing Landscape05:47 Getting Your First Customer09:06 The Power of Vision and Shared Language11:58 Innovating in Education Technology14:52 The Importance of Sales and Revenue18:11 Lessons from Entrepreneurship21:01 Opportunities in AI and Service-Based Businesses23:55 Final Thoughts and Future Opportunities

Stephen Zubiago, CEO and Managing Partner of Nixon Peabody LLP, joins hosts Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg to share what it takes to lead an AmLaw 100 firm through growth, competition, and change. He talks about how Nixon Peabody LLP aligns talent strategy with client needs, develops attorneys at every level, and builds a culture where collaboration and entrepreneurial drive matter as much as expertise. Their discussion explores the firm's focus on industries like financial services, real estate and affordable housing, healthcare, and technology, and why being selective about expansion is key to long-term strength.   This episode also looks at the bigger shifts reshaping the legal profession, including the race for talent, pressure to scale, and the rise of private equity in professional services. Stephen explains why Nixon Peabody LLP has turned down outside capital, how flexible remote work policies have strengthened retention after COVID, and why artificial intelligence is changing the way law is practiced.

My guest today is John Zito. John is the Co-President of Apollo Global Management. He shares how they've quietly built one of the most important financial institutions of our time, originating over $250 billion annually. John's thesis on the convergence of private and public markets - and Apollo's positioning to capture 100% of client portfolios rather than just alternatives allocations - offers a fascinating glimpse into where institutional investing is heading. We discuss the cultural and strategic elements that drive John, Apollo's merger with Athene, the idea of artistry at scale, and the evolution of capital markets.
