Market volatility doesn't just test portfolios. It exposes how founders think under pressure. In this episode of Founder Talk, Alex Sheridan sits down with Matt Rice and Bill Seyfarth of Vistamark Investments, two experienced investment professionals who have built and scaled an advisory firm by staying disciplined when markets — and emotions — swing hard.Together, they tackle a common but dangerous founder mistake: treating investing like a reaction instead of a system. Matt and Bill explain why panic selling, market timing, and overconfidence quietly destroy long-term outcomes — especially for entrepreneurs used to controlling every variable in their business. The conversation offers a calmer, more strategic lens for thinking about wealth, retirement, and capital allocation alongside building and running a company.Rather than quick takes or hype, the episode delves into mindset shifts. Founders will come away with clearer thinking around volatility, a better framework for separating business risk from personal wealth, and practical lessons drawn from real market cycles, not headlines.Q&A-Style Takeaways with Timestamps00:00:00 – Introduction00:03:40Q: What helped Vistamark grow from zero to hundreds of millions in assets so quickly?A: Years of credibility, deep relationships, and trust built long before launching the firm — not overnight tactics.00:08:42Q: Why do many founders delay retirement and investment planning?A: They over-invest in their business and underestimate how hard it is to catch up later without time and compounding.00:11:50Q: Why is “time in the market” more important than timing the market?A: Missing just a few strong market days can dramatically reduce long-term returns, especially during volatile periods.00:15:14Q: Is retirement overrated for founders who love what they do?A: Retirement doesn't have to mean stopping work — it can mean optionality, flexibility, and control over time.00:22:20Q: What should founders consider before selling their company?A: Whether they're selling for the right reasons — and whether they have a clear plan for life after the exit.00:33:15Q: Why do investors often make the worst decisions during market crashes?A: Human psychology is wired for fear and greed, which leads to selling low and abandoning disciplined strategies.00:58:48Q: Does more money actually make founders happier?A: The absence of money creates stress, but beyond a certain point, fulfillment comes from purpose, balance, and impact.Watch the full conversation to hear how experienced investors think when markets get emotional — and why discipline matters more than predictions.

What is going on these days with the Linux Professional Institute (LPI)? I sat down with Matthew Rice, the current Executive Director of LPI to find out! Way back in 1998/99, I was one of the co-founders of LPI, still today the leading independent certification program for Linux administrators. I haven't been involved in 20 years but was recently inducted into the LPI “Hall of Fellows” - https://www.lpi.org/hall-of-fellows/ - and Matt Rice visited me in Vermont to give me an actual physical award. So I seized the opportunity to ask Matt a few questions and understand what LPI is doing in 2025.
