What do you do after turning down a $600M offer—and watching it disappear days later? In this episode, venture capitalist and serial entrepreneur Jeremy Delk joins Dan Rochon to talk about pattern recognition, how to spot untapped markets, and the gritty truth behind high-stakes decisions. From losing $2M in four days as a college student to building multi-9-figure businesses, Jeremy shares powerful lessons on risk, leadership, and why real success comes from knowing who you are—not just what you've built.What you'll learn on this episodehe power of pattern recognition over pure hustle when spotting untapped marketsWhy real investors don't care about competition—they obsess over the customer experienceThe biggest mistake Jeremy ever made (hint: he said no to $600M) and how it led to his next big winWhy Jeremy only invests in 1 out of every 100 pitches—and what he looks for in a founderThe mindset shift every entrepreneur must make after hitting rock bottomThe spiritual crisis of success—and how to reconnect with purpose when the scoreboard is no longer enoughWhat Jeremy would tell his 25-year-old self: “Just take one more step”At the heart of this conversation is a simple truth: real business success comes from clearly communicating value and solving real problems. If you're working to sharpen that clarity in your own business, Dan's upcoming book Teach to Sell offers a practical framework to help you attract clients and opportunities by leading with what you know.

Kevin Murphy, co-manager of Schroder Income, tells us why stock markets are irrational and growth is like, "sirens pulling you onto the rocks," in this week's interview. Kevin also shares why the managers have been trimming their exposure to oil and gas and the banking sectors in favour of consumer retail names. We wrap up with the million pound question: value or growth?More about this episode:Emotions and extrapolation in financial marketsWhy profits are indeed important How focussing on the numbers can ensure strong, long-term returnsHigh interest rates and capital growth and risk profilesWhy the outlook for value remains brightHow selling decisions are reached and finding the next opportunityCheap buys vs cheaper buysMore about the fund: Schroder Income is a deep value driven fund, investing in companies valued at less than their true worth and waiting for a correction. It has little correlation with other income funds, tending to avoid the big income producers in favour of more niche names, where both capital and income have the potential grow significantly. It is a UK equity fund that seeks to balance dividend yield with dividend growth and balance sheet safety to achieve a growing income. This approach is not without risk and performance can be volatile.Learn more on fundcalibre.comPlease remember, we've been discussing individual companies to bring investing to life for you.

Although Europe is once again under the microscope for all the wrong reasons, Waverton European Capital Growth co-manager Chris Garsten believes the much-maligned market is now a far more compelling investment proposition than it was eight months ago. He also talks to us about the threat of recession and why he feels it is important to go against the consensus when markets are difficult. Chris also talks to us about why the political need for the Euro to succeed will prevent any further break up. He also runs through the cyclical recovery opportunities he is finding in a post Covid world and the importance of having a strong investment process to find opportunities in the ESG space.What's covered in this episode: Why challenges equal opportunities in a post-Covid world and the attraction of cyclical recovery stocksHow the semiconductor shortage benefitted car companiesWhy finding ESG winners is anything but straightforwardHow new EU rules around sustainability could impact capital flows into minersWhy he is a fan of Scandinavian/Nordic companies and the importance of “strategic thinkers” like Nestle and RushHis fears about recession in Europe and why history tells us to be contrarian in difficult marketsWhy the political will for the Euro to succeed means it is unlikely to break upWhy Europe looks a more interesting investment than it did eight months agoMore about this fund: The managers of Waverton European Capital Growth fund focus on finding companies whose management interests are aligned with shareholders, have earnings visibility, pricing power, cash generation and return on capital. But companies don't have to have all these attributes at the point of investment – indeed, many of their best ideas are businesses in the early stages of reform.Learn more on fundcalibre.comPlease remember, we've been discussing individual companies to bring investing to life for you.

On episode 53 I talk with Dimitry Gershenson of Enduring Planet. Enduring Planet provides growth capital for climate entrepreneurs, they offer rapid financing without dilution, personal guarantees, or collateral.Climate has quickly become one of the most interesting topics out there today. There is a lot of discussion around the topic but depending on where you live the action being taken differs widely.For Dimitry and the Enduring Planet team, the climate is not just a job, it's a passion. When talking to Dimitry you begin to understand that a lot has started to change but there is still monumental work to be completed.Enduring Planet is doing its part to help fill the giant capital hole that exists in climate change. There is a chasm of underinvestment overall. Without more firms like Enduring Planet and their portfolio companies, we will continue to see the devastating impacts of climate change increase. There is hope, the momentum is starting to build and there are a lot of exciting founder stories that are all helping to make needed change.

Differentiating Oneself is Key in Luxury Real Estate:Capitalizing on your past experiences and current skill set is a great way to set yourself apart from every other real estate professional in your market. One huge differentiator that you can leverage to stand out even more? Continually educating yourself.In fact, in order to fully adopt a luxury mindset, you need to constantly be learning how to be a better real estate professional, how to better serve your clients, and how to more effectively position yourself as a trusted advisor for all things real estate related. The moment you actively stop learning is the moment you stop trying to differentiate yourself, and the moment you stop differentiation yourself is the moment you begin to blend in with every other real estate professional in your market. Always be learning!Deepening Relationships and Maintaining a Healthy Work-Life Balance:Your relationships with other real estate professionals are incredibly important. Your relationships with your clients (both current and potential) are incredibly important. Finally, your relationships with individuals who aren't directly connected to luxury real estate are also incredibly important. So how is it possible to balance all of these different relationships without potentially ignoring one of these groups? Simple — give yourself permission to blur the lines between them all and you won't have to clearly delineate your time amongst different groups.Granted, it is important to remember that your work as a luxury real estate professional should not spread into every other facet of your life. However, it's critical that you recognize how all of the different aspects of your life are connected. It's okay for your different universes to collide, provided you're always actively working towards one very important thing: deepening the relationships with the people around you to help form stronger bonds with them. Remember, a more robust sphere of influence, one built upon strong relationships, is the key to a healthy referral pipeline.Topics and Questions You'll Uncover During this Episode:How to adopt a luxury mindset that will help advance your real estate careerWhy becoming a trusted advisor is so critical when it comes to building connections both within and outside of your target real estate marketsWhy is brokerage support so important?Deepening relationships with fellow real estate professionals is a great way to expand your sphere of influenceWhy is work-life balance so important as a luxury real estate professional?Resources Mentioned within Episode:Official Website - Maria BabaevConnect with Maria Babaev on LinkedInThe Institute for Luxury Home Marketing
Navigating the Ups and Downs of Luxury Real Estate:It's no secret that the landscape of the real estate industry has changed over the last two years — especially when it comes to luxury properties. While adjusting to market conditions can be stressful at times, one way to mitigate this stress is to constantly work on expanding your sphere of influence and building out your referral pipeline. If the pandemic taught us anything, it's that out-of-market buyers are now more willing to enter into other markets, which is why it's critical that your referral pipeline include out-of-market real estate professionals who may be looking for referral partners to help their clients navigate a move into your specific market.A Healthy Referral Pipeline Needs Constant Attention:As a luxury real estate professional, you should always want to improve the way you do business. That could mean improving the experience you provide your clients with, enhancing the print materials you use to help market luxury properties, or constantly nurturing your sphere of influence to ensure that you're top of mind for all things luxury real estate related. In order to build a strong luxury real estate referral network, you need to build strong relationships with every individual who's part of that network.So how do you build on these relationships (and create new ones) in order to grow your sphere of influence? Attending conferences and other out-of-market industry events is one way to meet up with contacts face to face, and even make new connections during the process. Remember, traveling to see your contacts is a business expense, and an important one at that. Make the time to visit out-of-market referral partners as frequently as possible to build on your relationship with them. Additionally, remember that your referral partnerships should never feel one-sided. Giving referrals is just as important as successfully receiving a referral, so be sure to reciprocate referrals in order to establish a stronger connection with your partners.Topics and Questions You'll Uncover During this Episode:How the pandemic affected the way we buy and sell homesWhy outbound destination markets are so important in the upper tierThe importance of constantly nurturing your sphere of influence to promote future growth How to effectively build out your referral network to expand to new marketsWhy setting expectations with partners is the key to a healthier referral pipelineResources Mentioned within Episode:Official Website - Genuine Real EstateContact Patrick RyanConnect with Patrick Ryan on LinkedInThe Institute for Luxury Home Marketing
