As the fourth generation leader of a family business, Galen Weston recognizes the responsibility he shoulders – to his employees, his country, and his great-grandfather's legacy. Weston's Real Home-made Bread began in Toronto in 1882. Today, George Weston Limited is one of Canada's largest private sector companies, with more than 200,000 employees. “It makes you think in decades, not in quarters,” he says. “You think about what is this company going to be not just a year from now, but 10 years from now, 20 years from now, 30 years from now.” In a frank and revealing conversation with Goldy Hyder on the Speaking of Business podcast, Weston discusses what he calls “patient capital” – his long-view approach to ensuring the company remains strong and vibrant for generations to come. It's a mindset he says Canada needs to adopt as a country, calling on public policymakers to think about how to create long-term prosperity. And he urges business leaders to be part of the discourse. “That unguarded dialogue about what's in the national interest could pay some meaningful dividends,” he says. Listen to the full interview, including his reflections on inflation, food prices and the challenges of leadership in the face of public scrutiny, on the Speaking of Business podcast.

In this episode of the Disruptive Successor Show, host Jonathan Goldhill explores the world of family offices with guest Nolan Bradbury, a financial expert with a passion for helping business owners achieve their dreams. Together, they demystify the concept of family offices, discussing what they are, how they benefit families at different wealth levels, and the diverse objectives they can serve. From managing investments and maintaining wealth to fostering multi-generational education and philanthropy, family offices offer a framework for building a lasting legacy beyond financial assets.KEY TAKEAWAYSFamily offices are not exclusive to the ultra-wealthy; even individuals with a net worth of 1 to 2 million can benefit.Family offices serve diverse objectives, including investment management, risk mitigation, and multi-generational education.Patient capital is a fundamental concept in family offices, emphasizing long-term goals and legacy-building.Initiating the family office journey doesn't require grand gestures; starting with organizing financial documents is a valuable first step.Family offices empower individuals to shape a legacy that extends beyond financial wealth, instilling values and responsibility for generations.QUOTES"Success equals opportunity plus preparedness. Control what you can control—be prepared for the opportunities life presents.""The ultimate goal of a family office is a longer runway; it's about creating an infinite legacy that goes beyond one's time on this planet.""Don't let the reason you don't get the home you want be because you haven't done the work upfront to get everything in place.""Family offices create an environment where everyone's rowing together and looking at things cohesively—a powerful approach to wealth management.""Dress for the job you want, not for the one you have. Similarly, approach your wealth as if you're aiming for the financial legacy you desire."Connect and learn more about Nolan Bradbury in this link below.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nolan-bradbury/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

This is “IRON” Mike Steadman, host of Black Entrepreneurs Survive and Thrive, happy to announce we're back with another Season of the Show. Our first 12 Episodes allowed to highlight the impact of patient capital, the BEST Fund, and the resilience of black entrepreneurs here in the great state of New Jersey. When we initially launched, we were still coming out of the pandemic and the new normal. A lot of support was thrown at Black Entrepreneurs in the aftermath of the George Floyd and the economic devastation caused by COVID-19. Now, nearly three years later, as much of the support has waned and inflation has skyrocketed, patient capital is more important now than ever. Thanks to M&T Bank, the official sponsors for Season 2 and stewarts of the BEST Fund, we're able to highlight more black entrepreneurs and continue to spread the word about patient capital. New Episodes new drop two weeks from today, so make sure you hit that subscribe button and spread the word.

In this episode, we dive into the world of patient capital and its potential to bring about transformative changes in climate technology. Joining us is David J. Neff, Operating Partner at Ecliptic Capital, who sheds light on Ecliptic's forward-thinking climatetech investment strategy, how they find innovations, and Austin's future as a hub for the sector.Episode HighlightsEcliptic Capital champions climatetech by prioritizing investments in adaptation, building and electrification, and then climate-friendly materials, aiming for long-term impact on climate issues and sustainable innovation.David outlines a triad for university tech transfer success: forging ties with venture capital, aligning mutual goals, and employing discerning professionals to sift groundbreaking technology from incremental improvements.The episode tackles the intricate regulatory landscape in climatetech, spotlighting the prolonged time to market and evolving environmental regulations as challenges.David emphasizes Austin's potential to transcend its software and SaaS prowess and emerge as a stronghold for climate technology and material science innovation.What's next for Ecliptic Capital? “I think what's next for Ecliptic Capital is continuing a laser focus on really working with our founders, the people we've deployed capital to you. So I think we're continuing to do that. I think in fall of this year, we'll start talking about fund two and raising for fund two with very similar thesis.”What's next Austin? “I hope people are thinking about climate. And the climate crisis is one of the fundamental biggest problems of this generation and the next generation. They quit that big tech job to go work on climate and I hope I see a lot more of that in Austin. It would make me very, very happy and our kids and our grandkids very happy that that's the problem you chose to work on.”Episode linksDavid J.

Jump into the LMSU DeLorean for a trip back in time to an episode recorded before our recent Budget Spectacular. With the power vested in him as LMSU Global Vice President for editing the show, Luke has wisely excised budget predictions but kept our then hot (now only slightly warm) takes on Australia's new National Net Zero Authority. This is but a pit stop on the path to the true focus of the opening segment though: the extremely important matter of our burgeoning t-shirt empire gets its own corner on the pod! That's right, your intrepid hosts are investigating the most sustainable way to produce some seriously magic merch for you Summerupperers and will keep you posted as we delve into the depths of this particular rabbit hole of sustainable t-shirt procurement. AND if this happens to be YOUR area of expertise, we want to hear from you with all the tips you can bestow! This week's paper is a recent selection from the Investor Group on Climate Change's recent back-catalogue of publications, Driving Australian Climate Innovation: Unlocking capital to support a clean industrial revolution. Let's just say the patient capital is not so patient!Frankie's One More Thing is the other recent IGCC paper she thought we were supposed to read for the pod - WRONG! - but a great read nonetheless, The State of Australian Net Zero Investment. This survey of a hefty cohort of Australia's institutional asset owners and managers reveals progress on net zero commitments, interim targets and a growing interest in pure-play climate transition investments, rare birds though they may be in Aus right now. Tennant's One More Thing is the release of the draft Mandatory Gas Industry Code of Conduct, which unlike the voluntary version of said code (responsible for sucking many irretrievable hours of his life away) looks able to do things! Among the more controversial things is the ability to maintain price caps on domestic gas use for the next couple of years. And then of course there is the question of what happens next?Luke's One More Thing is a recent episode of the excellent Watt Matters pod, featuring not one but TWO friends of LMSU, and not one but TWO experts on heat pumps who nerd out on… heat pumps! More precisely, the growth of heat pumps in the European market and their intersection with the tricky issue of regulating the phase out of F-gases.

Following a dramatic change in central bank rhetoric in 2022, and one of fastest shifts in interest rate policy in history – small, high growth, and emerging businesses saw their valuation reset. Now, enter 2023...a market with much higher costs of capital, much scarcer liquidity, and generally cautious investor sentiment. Should investors be considering investment in these businesses? While seemingly uncomfortable, the best private market vintages usually favour conditions like those experienced in 2022 and now 2023. In this episode, I speak to Brendon Lyons, Head of Private Investments and Portfolio Manager of the Perennial Private Investments team. The Perennial team manages approximately $7.4B across Australian public and private markets. They have an experienced team of 66 professionals, with 16 of those sitting across private markets and listed small and micro caps. Within our industry, Perennial is renown for its expertise across small and micro-cap investing and with the number of high growth businesses choosing to stay private for longer, it was natural for Perennial to move into this market. We talk to how the macroeconomic environment has changed over the last 12-18 months, particularly with regards to lower levels of liquidity, as the cost and availability of capital becomes more expensive and scarcer, and creating opportunities in high growth, smaller and emerging businesses. The Perennial team are arguably the pioneers of Australian private to public investing, helping to professionalise and prepare private businesses for an eventual public listing and to ensure they are as ‘market ready' as possible. Brendon highlights how the number of companies they are seeing has grown from around 300 to now 900 annually, how the types of businesses they invest in are either profitable, or at break even, and how a decades long track record has enabled the Perennial brand to attract some of the best founders, and structure deals that many others can't.

In this discussion, Jeremy Au and Valerie Vu explore the Vietnam market from both bull and bear perspectives. The bull case is supported by factors such as education, foreign direct investment, and "friendshoring," while the bear case highlights concerns about exit pathing, the stock market, and banking liquidity. The conversation also covers the potential impact of the anti-corruption campaign and the importance of patient capital in Vietnam's economic development. "I hope to see more talents returning to Vietnam. I'm so impressed with Vietnam's Gen Z but now they choose to start their careers in developed countries like Singapore, the US, and Europe. I spend a lot of time giving them advice on how to best move back to Vietnam and navigate the differences here. That's why I'm passionate about building a community and giving out the best educational content. I show conviction and build up their conviction for the country so they can return home to make an impact and build up Vietnam." Valerie Vu "We get a lot of learning and inspiration from Chinese politics. China has also consolidated power and launched anti-corruption campaigns in the last eight years. Vietnam is also going through an anti-corruption campaign, but on a shorter timeline. Things might seem overwhelming for a lot of foreign investors, especially US investors who are not familiar with Asian politics. We want to attract more FDIs for the country, grow the economy, and improve Vietnamese people's lives."

Family offices are able to invest on a different scale, but also with a different time horizon than a typical individual investor. So what lessons can individual investors learn from family offices (and how can these lessons help enhance returns)? Nick Parrish, managing director at Cresset Partners, joins the show to discuss Cresset's philosophy of "patient capital", and all of the advantages that come with it. Show notes: https://altsdb.com/2022/09/nick-parrish-051/
Crippling heat, fire, and death in the U.K., Europe, and the U.S. are bringing the climate emergency to our literal doorsteps. At the same time, political antipathy一in the lack of climate depth among Britain's leadership candidates or the collapse of sweeping climate legislation in the U.S., for example一seems to be adding fuel to the fire. Co-hosts Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson, and especially Christiana Figueres, are outraged! They explore what this means for the climate agenda going forward and, of course, how compassion, inclusion, and optimism must be part of the solution. Will deaths in the streets of Madrid and 40+°C (102°F) temps in the alleys of London compel us to wake up and see what's happening? Next, how do we use the tools of capitalism without being controlled by them? In this segment the gang explores the differences between traditional and enlightened capital and their connections to poverty, moral imagination, and climate – joined by visionary entrepreneur, philanthropist, and best-selling author Jacqueline Novogratz. Novogratz, described by Forbes as one of the World's 100 Greatest Living Business Minds (2017), is the head of the global nonprofit impact investment fund Acumen. Novogratz explains, “What is the problem we're here to solve, and how do we use the tools we have to solve them? Investment has always been [one of those] tools…but we see investment as a means, not as an end in itself.” Listen in as they deconstruct patient capital, off-grid solar, outrage over ongoing divisiveness, and how moral imagination as corporate strategy might just work a little magic for the future.

The passing of the great Eric Boehlert reminds us that there's no institutional support for liberal truth. Single shingle truth-tellers asking for subscription five-dollar bills is the liberal business model, while Peter Thiel and Rebekah Mercer spend millions on Right-Wing Structure. That said, Fox viewers paid to watch CNN **and take notes** change their minds a bit.

Growing a business doesn't have one-size-fits-all methods. While most business founders lean towards quick profit business models, it doesn't always align with their mission.

Early-stage enterprises can establish their businesses how their founders envisioned them in a safe environment with patient finance. In other words, investors are willing to sacrifice short-term gains in exchange for longer-term profit and impact. Their investors become partners in attaining common financial and non-financial goals through investment money, as well as broad networks for marketing and distribution, strategic guidance and mentorship, and later-stage financing, using a patient capital approach to patient capital.Lizette Peña explains how Kachuwa Impact Fund avoids putting pressure on its partners without requiring excessive development in this episode.

Adam Lawrence shares his stories from his time as an investor. We explore how investors earn their scar tissue. We dig into how investors think and how to pick the right investors for your business. This episode has been the inspiration for my article on Medium called, "Interview With A Vampire" about how to get to the truth and qualify investors to make sure they are right for you and your business. A very frank and unvarnished conversation about one of the biggest mistakes many founders make selecting the wrong investor, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons. Getting the right investor, for the right reasons, at the right time on the right terms can accelerate your growth but the failure rates of VC backed businesses are alarmingly high. I will say that in fairness to VCs, they are playing in the part of the market that is experimental - your product is new, your management may be untested, and your market may not be properly defined, so these factors carry high risk.

William Bohnett is the Chair of the Advisory Board of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. He served from 2009-2018 as a member of the National Board of the Smithsonian Institution, the world’s largest museum and research complex. Bill sits on the Executive Committee of the U.S. Council on Competitiveness, a non-partisan NGO working on national competitiveness issues, and is a Board Member of American Forests, the nation’s oldest conservation organization. Mr. Bohnett is the President of Whitecap Investments, a private investment firm, and special advisor to Baroda Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm. This interview was conducted by Princeton freshman Sullivan Meyer and senior Tiger Gao. We start by briefly discussing Mr. Bohnett’s educational background at Princeton and career path. He cites the interdisciplinary education he received at Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs as a huge aid to his career, especially as a corporate lawyer. Going off of that experience, we address the green financial market, especially the need to mobilize private capital to address the climate crisis. Bohnett does believe that the private sector requires some motivation to move capital from the public sector, but he views the Biden Administration’s American Jobs Plan as a strong start. Fascinatingly, he views the current bubble amassing around green technology as quite analogous to the “Dot Com” bubble of 1999. He notes, however, that the companies that weathered that bubble—as well as the companies that formed after it, like Google—went on to build the future. He encourages us to “have them courage to look through” the crash “that’s coming.” We then move on to address upcoming green technologies, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and small- and medium-sized nuclear reactors (SMRs). Bohnett sees both as integral to the climate future, so we discussed the intricacies of both technologies with him. For instance: How will the US adapt to its dependence on Chinese lithium mining? Will the public become more accepting of SMRs than large nuclear reactors? When asked about whether these technologies will dominate the transportation and energy industries of the future, Bohnett stresses an inclusive approach to the green transition. For instance, a green transportation industry will require both mass transit and EVs. Similarly, a future energy market will need SMRs, large reactors, and renewable energy. Above all, he expresses confidence that private capital and the market will properly assess what technologies are needed, and in what amount they are needed. This conversation is far-ranging, touching on many other aspects of Mr. Bohnett’s career. For instance, we discuss green technologies in relation to China, reflecting his position with the Council of Competitiveness. We address the importance of tree- and green space-restoration, based on his experience with American Forests. We explore the significance of public institutions in relation to the Smithsonian Institution. Finally, Mr. Bohnett offers his punchline: The climate crisis is a huge, incredibly nuanced challenge facing all aspects of modern life. Accordingly, no one technology, policy, or business is a silver bullet to address the climate crisis. There is no silver bullet, but there is an oncoming wave of climate adaptation and mitigation strategies coming from all corners of the global economy. We should have hope.
Native enterprises and nonprofits are working to ensure food sovereignty for their communities and neighbors. Land access and capital are key to this mission, and philanthropic grants are often a major source of funding. However, grant money often comes with many strings attached and reporting requirements that bog down the organizations they're trying to help.Marilyn Noble's reporting in The Counter examines how philanthropies (often private foundations with large endowments) currently support Tribal communities and what advocates say they could be doing better.Read Marilyn's full piece hereThis episode is produced in collaboration with The Counter – a nonprofit, independent, nonpartisan newsroom investigating the forces shaping how and what America eats.Have a question you want answered?

But both business leaders, policy makers and investors are facing increasing short term pressure. These pressures often materialize in impatient capital leading to a bad capital allocation (fossil fuels, derivatives, etc.). How could we encourage patient capital to rebalance financial markets? Are there accounting norms, prudential regulation and asset classes avenues we could explore to achieve this objective?
