Ben Lindbergh talks to two pitchers who topped out at Triple-A in 2025, which was a demotion for one and a promotion for the other. First, he brings back Rangers pitcher Declan Cronin, the only major leaguer alum of Ben’s high school, to discuss a setback of a season that included a mysterious hip injury, compromised mechanics, diminished stuff, a cutthroat release and, finally, Tommy John surgery. Along the way, they cover the urge to play through injuries, joining the Rangers after being unceremoniously jettisoned by the Marlins, what tearing a UCL feels like, the incentives that lead to elbow problems, Declan’s plan to bounce back from a challenging year, MLB-NWSL romances, and competing with other players for wedding dates. Then (1:05:45), Ben talks to White Sox pitcher/sportswriter Duncan Davitt about becoming a journalist on the side, being on both ends of interviews, being blacked out of baseball broadcasts, the plight and importance of local media, his deceptive delivery, being traded and making a 40-man for the first time, what he has to do to earn a call-up, whether pitchers wear protective cups, and much more.

TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01623 – 24 de dezembro de 2025 João 14:10 (A Bíblia Viva) – Você não crê que Eu estou no Pai e o Pai está em Mim? As palavras que Eu digo não são propriamente Minhas, mas do Pai que vive em Mim. E Ele faz a Sua obra por Meu intermédio. Um menino cego estava na esquina de uma rua movimentada, esperando seu pai. Um transeunte, vendo o garoto, ofereceu-se para ajudá-lo a atravessar a rua. – Não; muito obrigado – disse o menino. – Estou esperando meu pai. – Você tem certeza de que seu pai virá buscá-lo? – Sim, meu pai cuida de mim. Ele me conduz o tempo todo, e quando ele segura minha mão, sinto-me perfeitamente seguro. – Por que você se sente seguro? – interrogou o homem. Com um sorriso sereno de perfeita confiança, o menino respondeu: – Ah, porque meu pai conhece o caminho. Ele enxerga o caminho; eu é que sou cego. Temos a Jesus como nosso Pai. O pecado nos cegou, mas nosso Pai enxerga. Tomando-nos pela mão e conduzindo-nos, Jesus promete: “Não temas, porque Eu sou contigo; não te assombres, porque Eu sou o teu Deus; Eu te fortaleço, e te ajudo, e te sustento com a Minha destra fiel” (Is 41:10). Que notícia poderia ser melhor do que ter um Pai assim? João fala de Jesus como “o Pai”; de nós como “os filhos de Deus”, e de Jesus Se manifestando “para tirar os pecados”, uma evidência do “grande amor” que Jesus concede aos Seus filhos (1Jo 3:1-5). Embora esse texto revele o pecado como “transgressão da lei”, note que ele também mostra o pecado como a violação de um relacionamento pessoal sagrado – a relação Pai-filho, baseada no amor mútuo. Não pecamos contra o granito do Sinai ou mesmo contra um grande ideal moral, mas contra o coração de amor do nosso Pai. Coloquemos, portanto, os nossos pecados sobre Jesus. Peçamos-Lhe que nos perdoe. Então deleitemo-nos na Sua amorável presença. Ele deseja esse tipo de relacionamento amoroso conosco. Jesus tem por nós “inexcedível ternura, sobrepujando tanto a que nosso pai e nossa mãe sentiam por nós mesmos em nosso desamparo como o divino ultrapassa o humano” (O Desejado de Todas as Nações, p. 327). Reflita sobre isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Pai, obrigado porque enxergas o caminho, porque conheces o futuro e sabes o que é melhor para cada um de nós. Por isso, sem medo algum, nos entregamos em Tuas mãos. Toma conta de nossa vida; de tudo que temos e de tudo o que somos. Em nome de Jesus, amém!

Especialmente pelo dia de Natal, o Visões Populares faz uma entrevista com o Padre Vitório. Na nossa conversa, abordamos o sentido do Natal, a apropriação da data pela lógica do consumismo, o resgate dos valores de Jesus e muito mais.“O menino Jesus pertence a uma classe inteiramente marginalizada e desprezada. O nascimento de Jesus significa que é do meio dos pobres, das periferias, que pode vir coisa que presta. E muito mais, é de lá que vem as pessoas com quem Deus conta”, explica o sacerdote.Pe. Vitório iniciou sua vida religiosa em 1969, na Companhia de Jesus. Desde 1987, faz parte do corpo de professores do Departamento de Teologia da Faculdade Jesuíta de Filosofia e Teologia. Além disso, ele desenvolve atividades pastorais e sociais em Justinópolis, distrito de Ribeirão das Neves (MG), na Região Metropolitana de BH. Confira a entrevista completa.

SHOW 12-22-25 THE SHOW BEGINS WITH DOUBTS ABOUT FUTURE NAVY. 1941 HICKAM FIELD 1. Restoring Naval Autonomy: Arguments for Separating the Navy from DoD. Tom Modly argues the Navy is an "underperforming asset" within the Defense Department's corporate structure, similar to how Fiat Chrysler successfully spun off Ferrari. He suggests the Navy needs independence to address critical shipbuilding deficits and better protect global commerce and vulnerable undersea cables from adversaries. 2. Future Fleets: Decentralizing Firepower to Counter Chinese Growth. Tom Modly warns that China's shipbuilding capacity vastly outpaces the US, requiring a shift toward distributed forces rather than expensive, concentrated platforms. He advocates for a reinvigorated, independent Department of the Navy to foster the creativity needed to address asymmetric threats like Houthi attacks on high-value assets. 3. British Weakness: The Failure to Challenge Beijing Over Jimmy Lai. Mark Simon predicts Prime Minister Starmer will fail to secure Jimmy Lai's release because the UK mistakenly views China as an economic savior. He notes the UK's diminished military and economic leverage leads to a submissive diplomatic stance, despite China'sdeclining ability to offer investment. 4. Enforcing Sanctions: Interdicting the Shadow Fleet to Squeeze China. Victoria Coates details the Trump administration's enforcement of a "Monroe Doctrine" corollary, using naval power to seize tankers carrying Venezuelan oil to China. This strategy exposes China's lack of maritime projection and energy vulnerability, as Beijingcannot legally contest the seizures of illicit shadow fleet vessels. 5. Symbolic Strikes: US and Jordan Target Resurgent ISIS in Syria. Following an attack on US personnel, the US and Jordan conducted airstrikes against ISIS strongholds, likely with Syrian regime consultation. Ahmed Sharawi questions the efficacy of striking desert warehouses when ISIS cells have moved into urban areas, suggesting the strikes were primarily symbolic domestic messaging. 6. Failure to Disarm: Hezbollah's Persistence and UNIFIL's Inefficacy. David Daoud reports that the Lebanesegovernment is failing to disarm Hezbollah south of the Litani River, merely evicting them from abandoned sites. He argues UNIFIL is an ineffective tripwire, as Hezbollah continues to rebuild infrastructure and receive funding right under international observers' noses. 7. Global Jihad: The Distinct Threats of the Brotherhood and ISIS. Edmund Fitton-Brown contrasts the Muslim Brotherhood's long-term infiltration of Western institutions with ISIS's violent, reckless approach. He warns that ISISremains viable, with recent facilitated attacks in Australia indicating a resurgence in capability beyond simple "inspired" violence. 8. The Forever War: Jihadist Patience vs. American Cycles. Bill Roggio argues the US has failed to defeat jihadist ideology or funding, allowing groups like Al-Qaeda to persist in Afghanistan and Africa. He warns that adversaries view American withdrawals as proof of untrustworthiness, exploiting the US tendency to fight short-term wars against enemies planning for decades. 9. The Professional: Von Steuben's Transformation of the Continental Army. Richard Bell introduces Baron von Steuben as a desperate, unemployed Prussian officer who professionalized the ragtag Continental Army at Valley Forge. Washington's hiring of foreign experts like Steuben demonstrated a strategic willingness to utilize global talent to ensure the revolution's survival. 10. Privateers and Prison Ships: The Unsung Cost of Maritime Independence. Richard Bell highlights the crucial role of privateers like William Russell, who raided British shipping when the Continental Navy was weak. Captured privateers faced horrific conditions in British "black hole" facilities like Mill Prison and the deadly prison ship Jersey in New York Harbor, where mortality rates reached 50%. 11. Caught in the Crossfire: Indigenous Struggles in the Revolutionary War. Molly Brant, a Mohawk leader, allied with the British to stop settler encroachment but became a refugee when the British failed to protect Indigenous lands. Post-war, white Americans constructed myths portraying themselves as blameless victims while ignoring their own Indigenous allies and British betrayals regarding land rights. 12. The Irish Dimension: Revolutionary Hopes and Brutal Repression. The Irish viewed the American Revolutionas a signal that the British Empire was vulnerable, sparking the failed 1798 Irish rebellion. While the British suppressed Irish independence brutally under Cornwallis, Irish immigrants and Scots-Irish settlers like Andrew Jackson fervently supported the Continental Army against the Crown. 13. Assessing Battlefield Realities: Russian Deceit and Ukrainian Counterattacks. John Hardie analyzes the "culture of deceit" within the Russian military, exemplified by false claims of capturing Kupyansk while Ukraine actually counterattacked. This systemic lying leads to overconfidence in Putin's strategy, though Ukraine also faces challenges with commanders hesitating to report lost positions to avoid forced counterattacks. 14. Shifts in Latin America: Brazilian Elections and Venezuelan Hope. Ernesto Araujo and Alejandro Peña Esclusapredict a 2026 battle between socialist accommodation and freedom-oriented transformation in Brazil, highlighted by Flavio Bolsonaro's candidacy against Lula. Meanwhile, Peña Esclusa anticipates Venezuela's liberation and a broader regional shift toward the right following leftist defeats in Ecuador, Argentina, and Chile. 15. Trump's Security Strategy: Homeland Defense Lacks Global Clarity. John Yoo praises the strategy's focus on homeland defense and the Western Hemisphere, reviving a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. However, he criticizes the failure to explicitly name China as an adversary or define clear goals for defending allies in Asia and Europe against great power rivals. 16. Alienating Allies: The Strategic Cost of Attacking European Partners. John Yoo argues that imposing tariffs and attacking democratic European allies undermines the coalition needed to counter China and Russia. He asserts that democracies are the most reliable partners for protecting American security and values, making cooperation essential despite resource constraints and political disagreements.

I just wrapped a full day of calls with 75 MSP business owners about goal setting, and I heard all the mistakes I've made myself over 20+ years—from leading eight sales turnarounds to turning around a 40-year-old PE-backed company to its highest revenue ever. The most common mistakes? Inaccurate goals where the math doesn't map. Unrealistic goals that look good in December but are dead by March. Setting them too high so your team quietly thinks "that's never happening," or too low creating a complacent half-ass culture. Or worst of all—not setting goals at all. Here's why I'm passionate about this: the right goals manage for you, change behavior, and help people make decisions when you're not around. But bad goals make terrible people look good and great people look bad, which ruins your culture. This episode breaks down why I don't believe in "shoot for the moon, hit the stars"—that just means you're constantly missing and creating a losing culture. Learn why starting small and building a winning habit matters more than big aspirational numbers, why your goals need integrity (not pencil marks that change when you're behind), and how to rebuild momentum with bite-sized wins instead of resetting the whole target.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Say hello to Tilo at coach.tiloWhat if your most valuable product isn't another hour-long session, but a community that people can't wait to join? Today we sit down with a former PE teacher who turned a neighbor's question into a thriving training business, then pushed beyond the ceiling of in-person hours to build scalable income without sacrificing family time. From the first $90 session to confidently charging premium rates in an affluent market, we get into the real math: exact client counts, monthly revenue targets, and the systems that make sessions repeatable, effective, and worth every dollar.We dig into pricing strategy the way clients actually experience it—clear value, annual increases, retainers that stabilize cash flow, and the honest post-mortem when someone says no. We challenge the myth of overnight online riches and offer a grounded path: LinkedIn for lead gen, Trainerize for delivery, and coaching that sells outcomes, not app access. The heart of the episode is the Parlay Club, a clever blend of step goals, workouts, and point-doubling sports picks that turns accountability into a game. It's sticky, social, and scalable—especially once it moves to a searchable Facebook group, adds tiers, rewards referrals, and features guest experts to deepen engagement.Parent-trainers will feel seen. We talk about seasons of ambition, designing a perfect week before you sell it, and using the 11–2 midday window to build leverage instead of filling it with low-yield sessions. For coaches working with youth athletes, we map a route to clinics, partnerships, and grant-funded programs, and explain how a credential like the CSCS opens doors with athletic directors. The throughline is focus: avoid the octopus problem of too many projects and choose one lane to push hard for a defined period, supported by precise KPIs and a community that keeps you honest.If you're ready to raise your rates, protect your time, and build something that grows while you're with your kids, this conversation hands you a playbook you can start using today.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Ever feel the ground shift under a job you once loved? We sit down with a K–12 principal who built his identity around coaching kids, weathered the Paradise fire, and still found his purpose dissolving under politics, ego, and endless pushback. What follows is a candid look at walking away from a steady six-figure paycheck to pursue fitness, craft, and a life that feels honest again.We trace the throughline from early days lifting in Chico to leading schools where every decision meets resistance, and then to the spark of a new path: training, education reform from the outside, and programs that make movement central to learning. We talk openly about comfort as a trap, the fear of starting at zero, and the mindset shift that turns practice into momentum. If you're wrestling with a pivot, you'll hear a practical playbook: shadow great coaches, study daily, build a routine that stacks mobility, lifting, and focused learning, and have one meaningful industry conversation every day. It's career capital by design, not hope.There's a strong case for bridging education and fitness. PE gets sidelined, yet aerobic work boosts BDNF, sharpens attention, and primes the brain for class. With the right partnerships, schools can implement zero-period training, teacher wellness, and skill-based PE that kids actually believe in. This isn't about quick wins; it's about craft, clarity, and owning your trajectory. If you're choosing between safe and alive, this conversation will nudge you toward the path that compounds.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone stuck in a comfort loop, and leave a review with the bold move you're planning next.

Topics:How Sponsors Communicate EfficientlyWhat Investors Look For in First CallsLower Middle Market Buy-and-Build Strategies...and so much more.Top TakeawaysMatch your capital partners to your stage of maturity. Grant notes that choosing the right capital partner upfront prevents misalignment and speeds your path forward. For example, early sponsors gain the most by co-sponsoring with seasoned PE funds to learn what “good” looks like. Sponsors aiming to raise a future fund need co-investors who protect attribution and let them build a clean track record. Lead with the value you'll create, not the deal you found. Grant sees it all the time: independent sponsors spend 45 minutes on deal mechanics and leave only a few minutes on the plan that actually drives returns. It's backwards. Investors care far more about the growth thesis, the value levers, the M&A roadmap, and why you are the right person to execute it. VOC + Market Mapping is the new standard for top sponsors. Grant expects more sponsors to invest in structured market studies, especially voice of customer to validate why the company wins, and market mapping to define the actual M&A universe. Most sponsors talk about add-ons, but few can prove how many targets exist, which ones fit, or whether sellers transact. Investors back the sponsors who can quantify this, not just claim it.About Grant Kornman Grant Kornman is a former independent sponsor with more than a decade of experience buying and growing lower-middle-market companies. He co-founded NCK Capital and built a track record across multiple sectors through disciplined investing and operator-level execution. As a Partner at Align Collaborate, Grant brings a sponsor-first approach to equity shaped by a deep understanding of what independent sponsors need to execute and create value.About Align CollaborateAlign Collaborate is an equity partner purpose-built for independent sponsors.

În multe organizații, echipele apar în organigrame ca forme geometrice ordonate: pătrate, linii, săgeți. Pe hârtie, rolurile sunt clare, procesele sunt definite, iar oamenii par a face parte din același mecanism. În realitate, însă, viața unei echipe nu seamănă deloc cu cele câteva rânduri dintr-un document intern. În spatele unui rezultat bun – sau al unei perioade grele – se află interacțiuni, tensiuni, obiceiuri, aliniere, mici gesturi zilnice care fie susțin munca, fie o pot încurca fără ca cineva să-și dea seama.Simona Caranda a construit o carieră tocmai la intersecția dintre aceste două lumi: lumea planurilor și lumea oamenilor. Este Managing Partner la Indive, trainer și consultant, cu o experiență solidă în lucrul cu echipe, în special echipe de management.

When you clear a forest to plant maize and make charcoal, you've already put a price on nature—the future cash flows from the maize and the wood. The problem is that price is far too low. In this episode of The Samuele Tini Show, I speak with Josep Oriol, Managing Partner at Okavango Capital Partners and a leading nature‑finance expert working across Sub‑Saharan Africa. A Catalan who fell in love with African wildlife as a child, Josep trained as a lawyer, moved into venture capital and banking, then finally to Southern Africa to build a different kind of private equity firm—one that backs nature‑positive businesses whose performance depends on how they treat forests, soil and water. Today, Okavango‑backed companies help protect around 8–9 million hectares of land (about twice the size of Switzerland) and create income streams for hundreds of thousands of rural people. We dive into: The mispricing of nature: every land‑use decision—from forest to maize field—is already a price signal, and why that's dangerous if we ignore the true value of ecosystems. Forest carbon in practice: the story of BioCarbon Partners, REDD+ projects, and rural families living on ~$20/month in cash who now earn income by keeping forests standing. Carbon market backlash: Josep's response to critics of carbon credits, and why, compared to agriculture, mining or logging, high‑integrity projects are often far more transparent and generous to local communities. Three big opportunity themes: smarter agriculture and agroforestry to boost yields and cut waste, tech for soil, post‑harvest, insurance and finance, monetising ecosystem services via tourism, carbon, biodiversity and water credits—and why fuelwood is still the elephant in the room. Why classic 5‑year 10x PE funds don't fit Africa: and how Okavango uses longer horizons and flexible instruments (loans with equity options, convertibles, prefs) instead of only straight equity. We close with Josep's advice for entrepreneurs in nature‑based sectors—live with existential threat, love cash flow and margins, and assume everything will take twice the time and three times the money—and his vision of Africa's future looking more like South Korea or Malaysia than Europe, if we get the nature piece right. If you care about where climate capital should actually go, this is a sharp, grounded conversation from inside the deal flow.  

Private equity is reshaping auto PI, driving case costs up and crowding every channel with firms spending millions each month. Jon Walner has lived through TV's rise, a full rebrand from his father's household-name firm, and now a market where acquiring a case costs more than ever. In this episode, he breaks down what he's seeing today — the PE squeeze, the real math behind auto, rebuilding intake to stay fast and calm, and why adding comp, probate, and matrimonial can create steadier cash flow when PI margins tighten. You'll learn: How private equity is changing auto PI economics, and why it's costing more to get these cases even as volume looks strong. Rebranding from a household-name TV firm to Walner Law: new name, number, colors, 100+ billboards, and the real risk of starting over. Building a low-stress intake floor that protects focus, speeds up sign-ups, and turns more calls into contracts. Expanding into comp, probate, and matrimonial to monetize existing demand and stabilize cash flow. If you like what you hear, hit subscribe. We do this every week. Get Social!

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Rich DiPaolo welcomes back Jeff Pavone, founding partner at Amplify Capital Group, for a candid and timely look at the state of carwash mergers and acquisitions heading into 2026. Pavone breaks down the major forces shaping today's deal environment, from shifting buyer motivation to evolving private equity strategies, offering operators and investors a clear view of where opportunities are emerging. He shares his reactions to Professional Carwashing & Detailing's 2025 Top 50 List of U.S. Conveyor Carwashes and explains what early-year signals informed his market outlook for 2025. Pavone also discusses whether Q3 and Q4 activity matched expectations as the industry continues to navigate tighter capital, rising costs and regional variance in performance. The conversation digs into what's driving heightened buyer urgency, how private equity's appetite for carwash assets has evolved and what the industry can expect from sponsors in 2026. Pavone also weighs in on the long-debated question: will the industry ever see a 1,000-location operator? The episode wraps with Pavone's takeaways from Mister Car Wash's experience as a public company, the likelihood of future IPOs and the market developments in 2026 that would surprise him most, and least. Whether you're planning a sale, evaluating growth markets or watching broader capital trends, this episode delivers essential insight into the year ahead for carwash M&A.

In this episode, senior reporter Carmela Mendoza sits down with Sabina Comis, global managing partner, and Kenneth Young, a partner and co-chair of the corporate and securities practice at Dechert, to unpack key findings from the law firm's 2026 Global Private Equity Outlook. The survey results, gathered from 100 senior-level executives at global PE firms with at least $2.5 billion in AUM, highlight creative deal structures and the importance of distributions for LPs. The results provide insight into where the asset class may be heading in the next 12 months. The discussion centres on the gradual thawing of traditional exit channels. The pair outline the most promising opportunities for capital deployment in 2026. The episode also explores why more GPs plan to make management stake divestitures in the next 24 months and the regional differences behind them; how capital pools are developing to keep companies private for longer; and why future product design of semi-liquid funds could address concerns around valuations.

Jeff explains why fluency in AI, data, and change management is now essential for executive relevance.Preserving Humanity at Scale: As automation increases, empathy, compassion, and authentic leadership become more valuable, not less. AI should amplify the human experience, not replace it.Workforce Planning & Learning Innovation: How AI-driven insights can enable real-time learning, personalized development paths, and smarter workforce decisions.Throughout the episode, Jeff and Luke emphasize a core truth: the future of HR is not about replacing people with machines, but about freeing leaders to lead more deeply, thoughtfully, and humanely.Whether you are an HR executive, business leader, or someone navigating organizational change, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and practical insight into what's coming next—and how to lead confidently through it.From Our Sponsor(s)...Optimize Pharmacy Benefits with RxBenefitsElevate your employee benefits while managing costs.

For years, Matt Rooney did what a lot of capable recruiters do. He stayed busy. Took the work that came in. Said yes more often than he should have. Inside private equity, that turned him into what he later called a "utility recruiter". Useful, but reactive. Some years were strong. Others weren't. And it never quite felt like a real partnership with clients. Two decisions changed the direction of his business. Matt narrowed his focus to one role inside private equity: business development and deal origination. Then he made the shift from contingent to retained. Today, Matt is the founder of Coastal Partners. He's gone from closing 3–4 retained searches in his first year as a specialist to being on track for 10 retained searches this year, with the majority of his work now retained. In this episode of The Resilient Recruiter, Matt breaks down what actually made that transition possible. Not theory. Not scripts. Real decisions, real resistance, and what changed once clients started committing up front. This conversation is especially relevant if you run a recruitment agency, lead a small firm, or feel stuck in feast-or-famine despite working hard. What you'll learn: Why being a "utility recruiter" keeps agencies reactive What changed when Matt stopped taking every job How he handled the "no retained experience" objection Why specialisation built confidence and credibility fast How original market data helped him become a trusted partner Why predictability mattered more than volume Episode timestamps: [00:33] Why does contingent feel reactive [03:02] How Matt fell into recruitment [07:11] Feeling stuck as a utility recruiter [12:44] Resisting the idea of niching down [15:18] Why specialisation changed client relationships [19:03] Making the move to retained [20:39] First retained searches and predictability [27:40] Mapping the market and building authority [34:16] Publishing hiring reports and compensation data [35:25] Launching the Deal Sourcery podcast [50:31] Hosting a live panel at a PE conference [55:56] Why Matt would specialise sooner Guest bio: Matt Rooney is the founder of Coastal Partners and specialises exclusively in business development and deal origination roles within private equity. After nearly a decade recruiting across PE functions, Matt made the decision to focus on one specialty. In his first year as a retained specialist, he closed 3-4 retained searches. This year, he's on track to close 10, with the majority of his business now retained. Matt has become a recognised authority in his niche through original market research, publishing quarterly BD hiring reports and an annual compensation survey.

Today Cole talks with a colleague at FOCUS Investment Banking, Rob Adams. Rob helps founders fund expansion so during today's conversion the guys address private debt and capital raising as a deliberate growth strategy. Over the last few years we've watched more growth-oriented operators partner with private equity—thinking of it less as a sale and more as a strategic alliance. The question for 2026: will we see that thesis taken one step further—using private debt (the same kind of debt PE uses) to scale while retaining maximum equity and control? Today we'll break down what private debt is, when it beats bank debt or equity, what lenders actually look for, and how to structure capital so it accelerates growth without stressing the business. Let's get into it. Connect with Robert: Website: https://focusbankers.com/ Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-adams-34725725/ Email: robert.adams@focusbankers.com

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Johnny Hilbrant—SoulCycle instructor turned viral sensation, also known as "PE Guy." From his roots riding and teaching at Soul in Chicago and Boston, Johnny talks about his journey from fitness enthusiast to comedic creator, blending his knack for improv and sharp observational humor to lampoon a familiar character . . . the "private equity bro" you inevitably get cornered by at a wedding or some other event. The conversation gets into how Johnny developed his PE Guy persona, why the character resonates so widely (with both chuckling fans and the occasional real-life PE pro who's less amused), and how he manages authenticity even as brand partnerships and cameo requests start rolling in. Along the way, Johnny and Pete also discuss the importance of self-awareness, the ability to laugh at yourself, and the line between satire and selling out. Whether you're in the PE world, the HALO sector (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor), or just love a good roast, this episode is packed with insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and plenty of laughs. On the private equity lifestyle Hilbrant states, "Some of these folks seem to be a little bit . . . haphazard, like a runaway train, because they're among other people who are buying watches and flying privately." Key themes discussed SoulCycle instructor journey and community. Industry changes and business model evolution. Creation and popularity of "PE Guy" character. Satire of private equity culture. Audience feedback and handling criticism. Brand partnerships and authenticity challenges. Creative process behind viral content. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Journey Into SoulCycle & Fitness Industry Johnny shared how he began his SoulCycle journey in Chicago while searching for his next career move. After auditioning with 60 others and being one of only two selected, he trained with Soul before relocating to Boston, where he found both community and success as an instructor. 2. Evolution of SoulCycle Culture: The conversation also touched on the shifts in SoulCycle's energy and market position over the years. Hilbrandt acknowledged changes due to increased competition and tweaks to the business model, but emphasized that the unique, immersive studio experience and community still remain, even if the industry's "buzz" has faded a bit. 3. Viral Creation of "PE Guy": The "PE Guy" character began as a playful exaggeration of a certain type you meet at weddings—someone who talks at you endlessly. He used a filter to bring this persona to life, and after giving the character a private equity job, the videos quickly went viral. He credits the rapid rise to relatable satire and people recognizing the archetype. 4. Reception of Satire—Mostly Positive, Rare Backlash: Most of the audience, even those in private equity, really appreciate Hilbrandt's satire. He's largely received positive feedback, with a few exceptions (such as one in-person encounter with a Bain professional who took it personally.) He noted the importance of self-awareness and being able to laugh at oneself, a skill he thinks can foster humility and potentially even positive changes in the finance industry. 5. Creative Process & Brand Partnerships: Hilbrandt described his creative process as a mix of structured and spontaneous inspiration—sometimes scripting out ideas, other times improvising based on something he sees or hears. The success of "PE Guy" has led to lucrative partnerships, especially with B2B and tech brands, though luxury brands are often hesitant to be self-deprecating. He's committed to maintaining authenticity and resisting "selling out," balancing brand deals with staying true to the character's comedic roots.
