Mike Hicks' connection to investing in mid-market companies dates back to 1994, when he worked at the EBRD, contributing to the creation of the first private equity fund in Romania. After overseeing a joint venture between Creditanstalt Investment Bank and Advent International, he developed a keen interest in enhancing investor-management interactions, dedicating over 20 years to this pursuit.In 2010, Mike founded Catalysis, following several years of leading a similar practice at Grant Thornton. With the support of skilled colleagues, he has managed over 375 projects since the company's inception, Mike advocates the importance of coachability and partnership in navigating the complex landscape of mid-market firms.In this episode, Dominic explores the myths and realities of private equity as Mike dismantles common misconceptions about management and investment partnerships. Highlighting the nuanced dynamics between investors and business leaders, he explains that in smaller companies, collaboration often trumps the fear of management changes. Discover The Role of Private Equity in Business Growth: Private equity plays a crucial role in providing funding for businesses, particularly those lacking tangible assets for traditional bank loans, such as tech companies. It serves as an alternative to the UK's shrinking bank funding market by offering equity, facilitating business growth, and providing management teams a pathway to personal wealth.Misconceptions About Private Equity: Management teams often face misconceptions about private equity investment. Some assume operations will continue unchanged, while others fear losing control to investors. In truth, investors aim to add value and collaborate for improvements without seizing control of the business.Team and Organisational Alignment: Aligning the management team's capabilities with the business's needs is crucial. This match depends on the business model's complexity, market conditions, and growth goals. Businesses often require guidance to optimise their leadership teams to effectively meet these demands.Governance and Strategy in Management: Effective governance should balance strategy formulation and operational execution without overwhelming management. Boards should prioritise maintaining this balance to ensure alignment with value creation rather than focusing solely on financial oversight. Keeping boards small and focused helps avoid operational inefficiencies.Mistakes in Scaling Businesses with Private Equity: Common mistakes in scaling businesses post-private equity deal include neglecting due diligence insights, misunderstanding strategy, underestimating organisational inertia, confusing change activity with results, hastily making key personnel decisions, and suffering from unbalanced governance. Avoiding these pitfalls is essential for the success of private-equity-backed ventures.Higher Multiples with Demonstrated Scalability: Businesses that can demonstrate scalability, such as sustainable growth and robust operational capacity, are more likely to attract higher multiples and favourable responses from investors during deals, highlighting the importance of long-term strategic planning.Book recommendations:Rory Sutherland - Alchemy

Kevin takes the conversation in a different direction by interviewing his oldest son, Mike. He wanted to have this conversation to offer a glimpse into the life of a college athlete and why so few succeed at balancing school with athletics. Mike had a successful college career that led to opportunities off the field and forged a work ethic that will lead to successes in life. It's not all fun and games though, and we wanted to highlight the challenges of balancing so many things. We also discussed life as a superintendent's son and how that's led to a love of the game as the baseball chapter drew to a close during the COVID era. We hope you enjoy this non-turf discussion with a part of the EarthWorks family.

Mike Hicks, the founder of Wander Chatt, a collection of unique stays across Chattanooga, TN and beyond.

Mike got a job with a real estate developer helping to clear lots and doing an array of labor-intensive construction tasks. Mike worked long hard days for this developer but after work Mike and the rest of the crew would be invited out to go fishing.

In this episode, we unpack four notable outages that impacted WhatsApp, Zscaler, Salesforce, and Facebook, which all appear to have a common theme.

To celebrate our 200th episode we're recapping all the best moments from our very first live event: TFV Live! Experience at the Sahara Las Vegas. Real Estate Kenny Bedwell from STR Insights – STR real estate deals are both emotional and logical. Don't just chase the right returns; make sure you're investing in towns and communities that you have a connection with and are passionate about. Creative Funding Panel – There are a myriad of ways to make a real estate deal happen. Don't stop if you get turned down by one or two banks; keep asking, and keep pitching. (Or, be like Mike Hicks, and focus on private lenders over banks!) Operations Sean Kemper from Kemper Industries – Make sure you have the proper array of cleaning supplies for your STR (and your home). Not every solution works with every type of mess; whether it's mold, pet messes, or salt & snow from winter, you need the right product for each scenario. Justin Ford from Breezeway – Safety is the MOST important thing in any STR. Treat your property the same way that hotels are required to do by law, including smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and structural safety. Don't assume that insurance has you covered! (And be sure to get your http://breezeway.io/tfv (free safety certification from Breezeway)). Kyle Stanley from Fearless Kyle – Don't overthink hiring; leverage your network, take action, and hire before you're ready. Try posting something like this on your social media of choice: “I'm looking for someone in [Your Area] who would like to make $400-500 per month, part-time, to help with some real estate tasks. So easy, anyone can do it. Please message me or tag someone you know who may be interested.” Marketing Emily Miethner from GetawayUpstate – Leverage social media to differentiate your listings and drive interest from guests. And don't underestimate the power of influencer marketing: you can partner with local influencers and media outlets in your area to offer giveaways or promotions and drive new bookings. Arthur Colker from StayFi – It's never too early to start gathering your guest's information to build an email list. StayFi offers an integration for your property's WiFi to automatically collect guest emails and begin cataloging them into your email marketing tool of choice. Direct Booking Panel – Don't leave your success in the hands of Airbnb! You could go from 0–30% direct bookings (or more) just by taking quick action on simple items like creating your direct booking website, or starting a blog based on your property's city or state.

This is The Internet Report, where we uncover what's working and what's breaking on the Internet—and why. I'm joined today by Mike Hicks, principal solutions analyst here at ThousandEyes, to cover the outage of Akamai's DNS service. The outage, which occurred on July 22nd around 3:38 PM UTC (8:38AM PT), struck during the course of business hours in Europe and North America, resulting in widespread impacts to applications and services hosted within Akamai servers. The outage itself was short-lived and was resolved roughly one hour after the outage began. In this episode, we examine the customer impact, the relationship between DNS and CDNs, and what enterprises should take away from the incident. We also discuss the question of when it might make sense to invest in DNS or CDN redundancy—and when it is, frankly, overkill. Watch this week's episode to hear our take, and as always let us know on Twitter what you think.
This is The Internet Report, where we uncover what's working and what's breaking on the Internet—and why. I'm joined today by Mike Hicks, Principle Solution Analyst at ThousandEyes, to cover two recent application-related outages. The first occurred on May 19th around 12:50 UTC at Coinbase—a well-known cryptocurrency exchange. Around the time that news broke saying that the Chinese government would be imposing strict regulation on cryptocurrencies, users attempting to execute transactions were unable to access the application. From the ThousandEyes platform we were able to see a drop in availability around this time as well as increased load times (which in some cases resulted in timeout errors). The second outage happened on May 20th around 17:35 UTC at Slack—an enterprise collaboration platform. While the outage was resolved within 90 minutes, it occurred during normal US business hours, making it particularly disruptive to users attempting to reach the application. These instances remind us that applications, much like the underlying networks they run on, can experience outages, and effective troubleshooting requires end-to-end visibility into both.
