Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Brooks

This Summer Friday episode covers a wide range of topics, starting with Pete Crow-Armstrong and ending with some promo for next week's Open Championship live show (4 pm ET on 7/15!). Andy and Brendan share some stories of 1990s Tour pros thanks to recent orders from the Fried Egg Golf Pro Shop and the Pro Set trading cards included in their packages. Andy reads off the stats and information from Mark Brooks's 1990 season, leading right into some unsubstantiated rumors about the PGA Champions dinner. Brendan adds LIV Valderrama to the Schedule of the Week and highlights Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia as two players to watch as we close in on Ryder Cup selections. Speaking of Valderrama, Brendan then dives into a flashback from the 2002 Volvo Masters on the European Tour. This event was won by both Colin Motgomerie and Bernhard Langer in a shared victory, leading to some interesting quotes and discoveries looking back 23 years later. The episode wraps with some Golf Advice about Member-Guest season and some caddie-etiquette. Be sure to tune in to next week's Open Championship Preview as we go LIVE on the Fried Egg Golf YouTube at 4 pm ET.

Global forces are driving significant structural changes to the economy, creating challenges and opportunities. While tariffs and geopolitical tensions add uncertainty, we remain confident about growth prospects for 2025. A key reason for this optimism is that the changes are neither purely tariff-related nor purely negative. Three positive changes are easing banking regulation, new Crypto regulations, and the AI compute cycle. We are particularly positive about New Zealand's outlook, supported by strong global demand for dairy, lower interest rates, and attractive market valuations, making it an appealing investment destination for a patient investor in this evolving environment. Outside of the farming sector, the local economic recovery is slow to emerge but the signs show that there is an underlying recovery happening. In the United States, the current economic setup is proving more robust than expected and this is supporting market performance. Equally, Europe and China have overdelivered relative to the downbeat sentiment. While tariff-related disruptions and corporate caution may temper growth, we believe corporate earnings will remain resilient. Overall, we see continued opportunities despite these structural shifts. This week, Mark Brooks, Chief Investment Officer at NZ Funds, joins us to review the first half of 2025 and discuss what might lie ahead for the remainder of the year.

Less than a month ago, the S&P 500 hit a record high. Now it's down 10%, sparking media headlines. But despite the drop, United States shares are still up over 8% in the past year. Market swings like this are normal, and not all global markets are reacting the same way. While Trump's trade policies dominate the conversation, they're just one piece of a bigger picture.This week, Mark Brooks, Chief Investment Officer at NZ Funds, joins James Grigor, Investment Strategist, to discuss these market swings. Is this a routine correction or something bigger? Are recession concerns justified, or is the noise drowning out the facts? With Trump touting economic strength while markets retrace, what's the bigger risk – staying in or stepping out? And how can long-term investors use volatility to their advantage?

EPISODE SUMMARY: Have you ever sat across from someone and realized that the conversation you're having could fundamentally alter your approach to business and life? That's the sensation I had while talking with Mark Brooks of Permanent Equity. Mark's philosophy of long-term growth over quick financial gains is a testament to the power of patience and persistence. In our enriching dialogue, we cast light on the significance of trust-building shared meals and how taking the time to truly listen can unearth personal growth. We probe into the operational strategies at Permanent Equity and their unique approach to supporting CEOs post-acquisition, providing a fresh perspective on the value of continuity and the nuanced art of assembling a team for the long haul.Imagine being the least informed person in the room—yet leading the charge. I share my experiences of humility and growth within a diverse array of businesses, emphasizing the educational journey from learner to leader. This episode is a celebration of mentorship, the motivational stories of employees rising above adversity, and the critical role of letting go of ego to catalyze learning and problem-solving. It's about nurturing a company culture where everyone is empowered to become a natural problem solver, and how that culture can transform a business from the inside out. Wrapping up our conversation, we turn to the delicate balance required to transition from owner to CEO post-sale, unraveling the emotional intelligence needed to navigate difficult workplace conversations. We examine the construction of incentive systems that boost productivity while preserving team spirit, and the long-term approach to relationship-building that eschews short-term ease for lasting trust. Through the lens of my personal anecdotes and Mark's profound insights, we offer guidance for those crafting their dream lives while building resilient companies.
