After raising $307 million in capital commitments for his LFM III fund, LFM Capital Partners Co-Founder and Executive Managing Director Steve Cook talks about how the firm will deploy that capital in lower-middle-market manufacturing. LFM was founded by operators, and their time in that role informs their investment approach, meaning they can invest in companies that fall outside the typical PE investment criteria. He talks about the fund, their approach, and how businesses in that sector today are faring.

Congress has once again decided not to decide how to fund the federal government in time for the start of the fiscal year, racing toward a midnight Sept. 30 deadline to pass a stopgap bill that would keep the lights on for two more months. However, it does appear the FDA's program that gets drugmakers to help fund some of the agency's review staff will be renewed in time to stop pink slips from being sent. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Rachel Cohrs of Stat, and Victoria Knight of Axios join KHN's Julie Rovner to discuss these topics and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews filmmaker Cynthia Lowen, whose new documentary, “Battleground,” explores how anti-abortion forces played the long game to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Despite attractively priced assets, the lure of remaining listed declining and a swift bounce back from Covid, Private Equity suffered its annus horribilus last year. Private equity investments totalled R14.9 billion in 2021, a marginal increase from R14.5 billion in 2020. But the number of deals was still the lowest since 2011, and the value is less than half of what the local industry attracted at its peak in 2018. Fund raising remains tough for South African private equity GPs as evidenced by the latest SAVCA survey which shows that Funds Under Management increased by 5.6% to R206.2bn down from a 5.8% increase in 2020. Michael Avery is joined by Langa Madonko, Investment Principal at Summit Africa and SAVCA Board Member Siya Nhlumayo, Partner at Vuna Partners and Phathutshedzo Mabogo, Acting Chief Investment Officer of the Eskom Pension and Provident Fund

There's been a lot of talk lately about how private equity is bad for business. But what does that mean for franchising? Franchising relies on the stability of businesses to provide opportunities for entrepreneurs, and when private equity firms swoop in to buy up businesses, it can be damaging to the franchise industry as a whole.

Hannah was a guest on The RAG in June 2021 and she told the story of growing Meet, an international talent provider to the life sciences sector. At this point the business was 12 years old,  135 staff and multiple offices globally. She ended the episode by telling me that they had significant and strategic growth plans. I wasn't entirely sure what this meant as Hannah chose not to elaborate.  In September 2021, I realised why Hannah kept her cards so close to her chest, as Meet announced that lower mid-market private equity firm NorthEdge has backed the primary management buyout of the business.  It then all made sense that Hannah had to be very careful about what she said on The RAG, as the transaction was at a very critical point! On this week's episode I was so excited to have Hannah back on the show to talk about everything she couldn't discuss last time. We covered Why she felt the need to start the MBO process in the first place The reality of the process  The impact on her life and family The moment the transaction completed What this means for her and her staff How she has now grown the business to 230 people (a net growth of 95 in 16 months) The working relationship with PE firms and why it can be an amazing one! For anyone looking to buy or sell a recruitment business, here is another story that details out the reality of the process and offers huge advice based on real life experience! Vincere A message to all recruitment leaders looking to upgrade their CRM: Before you sign the contract, be sure to read the terms at least twice. Common traps to watch: - Not understanding the pricing model - Discounts limited to only the 1st year of contract length - Monthly contracts - this could mean flexibility for the vendor to raise prices - Data hosting - anything outside your country could mean compliance & legal issues Get Vincere's 10-step guide to keep your vendor due diligence & evaluation process airtight: https://bit.ly/3C2G1s3

In this very special episode, Nick presents directly from Funnel Hacking Live 2022 with associate Rob Williams, to discuss the most impactful lessons they have accumulated from this incredible event. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Marketing and advertising used to have to rely on precise targeting at the correct time. Direct response marketing required an action to be taken, and many think this art has gone away - but it hasn't. Marketing is initially about gaining views, then engaging and eliciting an emotional response in order to gain action, and then on to conversion. Effective branding leads to the initiation of a tribe - a community - who become believers in your message. Establishing this is the key to longevity and passive marketing on your part. There are two types of individuals - the drifters and the driven. When you are faced with issues, the drifters will give in, but the driven will see it through to the end. BEST MOMENTS  'There are more messages hitting us than ever before' 'Direct response is all about speed' 'Data plays such a valuable part' 'Anything is possible by following a well-defined set of principles' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Imagine if you were a dominant recruiter in your industry with a portfolio of clients who come to you for all their hiring needs.  That doesn't happen overnight and requires persistence. As you'll hear in my interview with Brooke Ziolo, it's certainly achievable with the right mindset and methodology. Brooke is the President of Egret Consulting, and has been an Executive Recruiter for 14 years. She and her team have become the Go-To recruiters for the lighting industry covering positions in sales, marketing, engineering, and operations from mid-level to C-Suite.   In this episode, she shares how they became the market leading recruiters within the lighting industry.  She describes in detail how they reach out to clients and candidates with a blend of manual and automated processes plus an attitude of polite and professional persistence.  Brooke's history of how and when she started her recruiting career is a resounding story of resilience, leading to her becoming a Partner of Egret in 2013, the Managing Director in 2016, and purchasing the firm in 2019. She was inducted into the Pinnacle Society, the premier consortium of industry-leading recruiters in North America, in 2016. Episode Outline and Highlights [01:56] Brooke's challenging first year in recruiting. [06:05] Brooke's mindset and method for building her desk during a recession.  [11:11] What has changed in Egret's approach to marketing over the past 14 years?  [20:20] Would you consider reaching out via cold text? Discussion on combining videos and text when reaching out. [25:04] Brooke's recipe for success - from being a recruiter, a partner, and the decision of becoming a recruitment firm owner.  [39:38] Brooke's vision on taking the Egret company forward. [41:42] Retaining employee engagement while shifting to a fully remote setup. Starting Her Recruitment Career During the 2008 Recession Brooke started her recruitment career in 2008, during the Great Recession. As you can imagine, it was extremely challenging. She only made 2 placements that whole year! But Brooke's mindset and strategy during that turbulent time lead to her being successful when people started hiring again.  Reminiscing her early days, Brook explained, “The only thing I control is how many calls I make. So if I keep making more calls than everybody in the office… that is all I can do right now. I kept just pounding the phones until somebody told me no or I am sick of you.” For Brooke, it is all about her polite persistence. She understood the balance of not harassing anyone but staying within professional boundaries to put her name out there even if she was not making many placements. The result? People remembered her! Making all those phone calls enabled her to build her network of industry connections so people thought of her when they started hiring again. Blended Approach to Marketing and Business Development Cold calling and polite persistence laid the foundation for Brooke to become a top-producing recruiter and billing manager. But how has her approach to business development and marketing evolved over the last 14 years? Here are some of the strategies she shared in this episode: MPC Marketing Monthly Newsletter LinkedIn outreach Advertising in the trade publication for her industry Text messaging We also shared tips and ways on cold text messaging. Many recruiters are afraid of sending unsolicited text messages and are concerned about receiving a negative reaction from the recipient. On the other hand, texting is a very effective way to communicate and typically gets a much faster response compared to other platforms such as email. Brooke shared how she does it and how much response she gets in doing so. Brooke's Success Mindset In 2019, Brooke purchased the firm from her father who was the founder of Egrit Consulting. Acquiring the business wasn't something she had initially set out to accomplish. But after falling in love with recruitment and becoming a top recruiter in the firm, she started being able to imagine the possibility of taking over the business.   I asked Brooke's recipe for success. In addition to her persistence and also being niche-focused, she shared three keys: : Positive self-talk and affirmation Taking her time and putting one foot in front of the other Learning from past experience I have always aimed to understand recruitment owners' formulas for success. And Brooke certainly delivered in this episode. Our Sponsors This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro and Recruitment Entrepreneur. i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

Every business owner and entrepreneur wants to make more money for their business, but sometimes lose track of the simplest ways of doing so. In this episode, Nick shares some fundamental strategies that'll greatly increase your money-making potential in no time. KEY TAKEAWAYS The three pillars of revenue are: get more customers, do repeat business with those customers, and sell higher ticket prices. Many think that spending money on advertising will guarantee customers. You can also get more customers through networking and referral. Price has value above and beyond the transaction. You can use price as a strategic drive in itself. If you're too cheap then you risk repelling your ideal client. BEST MOMENTS 'You've got to master the fundamentals if you want to scale your business' 'Cash is king in business' 'Sometimes the only way to reach a premium client is through established networks' 'The perception of price is important' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

This episode of Investing In Integrity features a highly respected leader in Private Equity, Daniel Pietrzak. Daniel is a Partner at KKR where he co-leads the firm's private credit funds with about $72B in assets under management. Daniel recently launched a $2.1B asset-based finance fund, which is the firm's first fund which finances assets secured against collateral-based cash flows, like consumer mortgages and commercial leases. Daniel not only takes us through the backstory of launching a new fund and building a team; he explains how his fund operates at the cutting edge of Private Equity, which he says is about “financing the real-world economy,” more than the traditional buy-and-flip model. Throughout the episode, Daniel offers insightful, first-hand advice for anyone interested in a career in PE or a top-tier firm like KKR. He explains how KKR looks for “dynamic athletes” and talks about the importance of being both well-read and speaking up to share points of view. A seasoned leader, and Advisor to Scholars of Finance, Daniel shares wisdom into the leadership principles and practices which have helped him to succeed, from the importance of education to the necessity of humility. The first in his family to attend college, Daniel shares an inspiring story–both of his own career journey and of the rapidly-evolving landscape of PE in finance. We hope you enjoy this conversation! 00:00 - Intro 2:42 - Daniel's Story 14:25 - KKR and Daniel's Role 19:47 - Private Equity 31:00 - Rapid Fire

Pam Jackson, CEO of Level20, joins Winna Brown to reveal how mentorship programs can help women build long-term careers in PE.  According to a report that EY teams recently published on diversity, equity and inclusiveness (DEI), the private equity industry's ability to meet stakeholder demands, access capital, win deals and compete for talent is increasingly contingent on progress against DEI metrics. Talent management has become the number two strategic priority across PE firms of all sizes, second only to asset growth. DEI initiatives are now proliferating in private equity as the industry begins to address how its culture has historically impeded diversity. Level20 is a non-profit organization based in the UK that is dedicated to improving gender diversity in the European PE industry and specifically in senior leadership roles at PE firms.  Read “Can PE win deals if it doesn't deal with DEI?”: https://www.ey.com/en_gl/private-equity/can-pe-win-deals-if-it-doesn-t-deal-with-dei Calculate how long it will take to achieve your diversity goals: https://kenaninstitute.unc.edu/diversity-integration-model/ Ten ways male PE leaders can support and mentor their female colleagues: Serve as role models and mentors Engage with colleagues who are different from yourself Encourage women to realize their value Promote stories of inspiring women Engage in small interventions Embody inclusive leadership Give cultural shifts time to come to fruition Build a diverse talent pipeline from the bottom over time Recognize that recruiting senior women is not a “quick win” Model how long it will take to achieve your diversity goals with the EY Diversity Integration Model

Five & Thrive | Episode 17 | September 22nd's Weekly Rundown Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. Blog Post of the Week: This week's blog post of the week focuses on serial entrepreneurs Landon Bennett and Kyle Connaro. In the world of headlines highlighting money raised and strategic acquisition, there's also a quieter, more subtle path to entrepreneurship, especially in Atlanta and the Southeast where the cost of living is a touch lower than some other places in the world. One of my favorite communities online is called IndieHackers and they wrote a post highlighting how Landon and Kyle operate 4 startups at once. Clearly these guys love the early stages of company building. An insight from the post states how Landon and Kyle get each company to a place where they can put systems and operations around the business, freeing them up to start another one. Read more about how they are laying the foundation to a multi-SaaS portfolio of starting companies.  Announcement of the Week:  Resurgens Technology Partners made a substantial announcement about closing their second fund with $500M of committed capital. This is quite the news for Atlanta and the region as more capital comes in to fund growth stage startups. I spoke with one of the team members and asked specifically what they are looking for: their ideal company to add strategic capital ranges from $5-$30m of ARR that are growing 10-40% year over year with strong unit economics and a capital efficient business. Well done to the Resurgens team for bringing more capital into the region.  Company Company Up: Infinite Giving is the company coming up. They just presented this past week at Atlanta Startup Convos and Karen and Seth are building a world class product. Infinite Giving is the first robo advisor that allows entity investing. If you took all the assets within non-profits and added them up, they would be the 5th largest economy in the world, but after non-profits do all the hard work of raising money, now they have the tough task of managing it. Today, several non-profits are not big enough to warrant attention from institutional investors and the ones that do pay high fees and have manual and painful processes to ensure risk-adjusted, quality returns. Infinite Giving makes it simple for non-profits to invest their capital by first providing the ease to open a brokerage account in minutes while offering a wide variety of options to allocate money and more. Be on the look for Infinite Giving in the week, months, and years ahead!        Event of the Week: This event of the week is for all the folks looking to do something tonight. Starting a 5:30 p.m. this Thursday evening is the final leg of the ATL Unlocked circuit which traversed throughout the Metro Atlanta area. This one is hosted in Peachtree Corners at Atlanta Tech Park. This entire program put on by MAC and all the hubs has been a strong success as I've learned about new companies and met new people going to two of them. Link to RSVP in the shownotes.  Beta Products of the Week:  What started out as a Georgia Tech Capstone project has now transformed into a company whose mission is ​​to bring simple and affordable wearable technology into physical therapy clinics. This company is called Stride Link and their first product identifies, highlights, and collects data on consumer's walk or gait and delivers it back to the physical therapist so they are more educated and equipped to solve the patient's need. These entrepreneurs continue to innovate and be on the lookout for refined product offerings.   Raise a Glass: Luke Beard and Daniel Kuntz just announced their $1.5M round for AnyDistance which we highlighted before on the pod. AnyDistance is the most elegant, safe, and shareable activity app. Luke and Dan's vision includes incorporating real world accomplishments into digital achievements that can be exchanged for anything from swag, to clothing, to coffee. The future is bright at AnyDistance and the list of investors is impressive as well including Overline and Shorewind. Congrats to all involved!    Annnnd, that's 5 minutes.

In this episode Scott discusses: Market Update. The Rush to Sell. Coffee and Coffee Wars.

"If you can focus on being around people you like, genuine interest happens rather easily." John Cerasani's story is about a self-made man who has found enormous success with multiple business endeavors. The title of the podcast is a nod to a pivotal point in his journey where he left corporate America to work for himself. By putting himself on top of the Org Chart, he was able to not only reap the benefits of increased pay; but also build equity for himself… Not for others. The podcast promises to discuss various lessons he learned along the way, and have an extreme financial focus. All while encouraging listeners to elevate their game and grow. John built an insurance company from his kitchen table after taking the leap and quitting his job at Arthur J. Gallagher. He was in his late 20's and also found himself honored with 40 under 40 accolades shortly thereafter. Not even 10 years later, he sold that company into Private Equity for an undisclosed multiple. This building of wealth put him in a position to help entrepreneurs with not only capital infusion, but also business advisement and expertise.

Stewart A. Kohl is Co-Chief Executive Officer of The Riverside Company, a $10 billion global private equity firm founded to invest in premier companies at the smaller end of the middle market. Since 1988, Riverside has invested in more than 700 companies globally. The firm's investors include leading pension funds, endowments, funds-of-funds, insurance companies and banks. The firm employs more than 300 people in offices across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Mr. Kohl joined Riverside in 1993. Prior to that, he was a vice president of Citicorp Venture Capital, Ltd., the private equity arm of Citibank. In addition to his work with Riverside, Mr. Kohl serves as an Honorary Trustee of Oberlin College and of the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland. He is also on the Board of Directors of Cleveland Clinic and Co-Chairs its $2 billion Power of Every One Capital Centennial Campaign. He was inducted into the Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges Hall of Excellence in 2009. He previously served as Co-Chair of the Building for Hope Capital Campaign of the Center for Families and Children. Mr. Kohl earned the George S. Dively Entrepreneurship Award in 2018. He was inducted into the Northeast Ohio Business Hall of Fame in 2014. After spending 16 years as a “Heavy Hitter” participant in the Pan-Mass Challenge bicycle fundraiser, Mr. Kohl founded VeloSano, a similar event that has raised more than $20 million to fund cancer research since 2014. Mr. Kohl holds a BA from Oberlin College.

I'm a firm believer that success leaves clues.  If someone was able to scale their staffing business not just once or twice but multiple times, that can't be based on luck. To produce those results over and over, they must have a winning formula. That being the case, you'd want to know their formula, wouldn't you?  Well the good news is that's exactly what you'll learn from my podcast interview with Joel Slenning. This is Joel's second appearance on the show. Last time, he shared the story of how he scaled his previous recruitment firm, ICON Medical, to $16M before selling it in 2019. I found that story fascinating - especially the part where he started his own business in the middle of a global recession and how he strategically scaled it during the most difficult first year. This time, Joel is back to reveal the strategies he's using to grow his new staffing firm, INNOVA People from a start-up to almost $2M in revenue in less than 3 years! Joel talks about his business model, leveraging offshore sourcers, and inbound marketing, and much more.  Joel is the President of Innova People, a healthcare and IT staffing agency based in Oregon. Joel and I run a coaching program together called APEX which is a mastermind group for owners of 7-figure recruiting firms who want to scale to 8-figures and build a business that runs without them that they could potentially sell one day. Episode Outline and Highlights [02:00] Joel talks about his current company, INNOVA People, and what he is doing differently this time.  [05:15] Building a sustainable model where business development is side by side with the delivery team. [14:48] The blend of contract and permanent direct hire. [22:26] Leveraging offshore resources and automation. [32:31] The 9 Pillars of a Scalable Recruitment Business [34:33] Joel's approach to marketing and generating inbound leads. [48:32] The ToMA (Top of Mind Awareness) Model and how to create it in today's environment. [52:58] Joel's mindset on the economic slowdown and how we should prepare. Structuring a Very Sustainable Business Model  After successfully scaling and selling ICON Medical Network, Joel is now the owner of a successful IT Staffing Agency, INNOVA People. What he has been doing differently with this new agency is the approach to a sustainable business model, where business development works side by side with the delivery team. He segregated business development from the delivery team by creating a talent acquisition leader for delivery and sales development reps on the business development side. How does this work for Joel's team? With this strategy alongside a number of automated processes, the team was able to scale rapidly. Contrary to a 360 model, this approach is really agile and avoids having recruiters having to switch-task which reduces productivity. Each person is dedicated 100% to what they are doing. The business development team is able to fully support the delivery team, which results in consistent hiring and scalability. In its third year, they are pushing close to $2M in revenue. Joel further shared key factors in his current business model such as leveraging offshore resources and automation. If you are hesitating in employing an offshore team member, Joel's insights on the matter can be very helpful. What to look for in an offshore colleague? Does location really matter? In his own experience, making the right offshore hire is critical to Joel's success in scaling his business. Top of Mind Awareness and Inbound Marketing The last time we had Joel in the podcast, he alluded to the fact that the majority of his leads on both clients and candidates were generated using inbound marketing. We ran out of time to get into the details of how he does it, and so we are truly fortunate to hear the details from him this time around. Joel shares their strategy for applying the ToMA or Top of Mind Awareness approach in their marketing. Here are some of the practices that Joel discussed in this episode: When and who to hire as marketing staff. Platforms that they are utilizing the most in their marketing. Calendar and timeline on running social media content and posts. You will enjoy the very practical and no-nonsense approach that Joel shared in this part of our conversation. Outworking the Global Economic Slowdown  Joel also shared his insight on having the right mindset to deal with economic downturns or recessions. This is a relevant topic to a lot of recruitment business owners who are concerned about a global slowdown in hiring activity. The media has amplified this message to the point that there's a lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt in the market. But if there is one thing that I learned from the 2008 global recession and the COVID19 pandemic, is that taking a proactive approach and having the right mindset are the game changers. Joel shared his thoughts on how to outwork whatever potential economic downturns that may come.  Our Sponsors This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro and Recruitment Entrepreneur. i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

Mags joins Phillip and Brian to discuss the role of Web3 and the blockchain as we enter into the new wave of commerce. Does Web3 open up a new world of possibilities for brands to interact with and meet the needs of their customers? How can brands and investors partner with celebrities to solve problems? Listen now! Mindful Web3A successful approach to Web3, from a brand perspective, is asking questions like "Why would we do this? Why should we care? Why should our customers care? And what can we bring to the table that's different and unique because it's built on blockchain?"“We are just going to be scratching the surface right now of the Starbucks product, but it will embolden other brands to think about what they can do and what they can do in the right way as opposed to a campaign PR-y way.” - Magdalena“If you want the ultimate decentralization something has to give because you can't have it all in the blockchain context. You either get cheap transactions or you get ultimate security in decentralization and you can't have everything at once.” - MagdalenaDoes aligning with a celebrity institute a playbook that other consumer brands have used to try to gain scale?“If a celebrity has a brand, then a brand itself is also a mind virus that will find a way to propagate. Extremely successful brands are just very efficient propagation of a virus that likes to replicate. And that's why we have enduring brands that last for centuries.” - Phillip“The magic happens when you are really good at multiple things because you have something that no one else competing with you in each individual area.” - Magdalena“One of the things that's a big misconception of private equity that I hate that it's all just acquiring, stripping it off, and then question mark, question mark, question mark, profit. That's not how this works. It's very much a partnership because there is something magical in the underlying business and there is a value that the private equity firm can bring to grow it faster than it would grow on its own, independent of just the capital.” - MagdalenaCommercially-minded celebrities can help investors solve problems of distribution and attention with the networks they already have.Associated Links:Learn more about Magdalena Kala and @magdalenakala on TwitterSubscribe to Insiders and Senses to read more of our hot takes! Download VISIONS 2022 NOW! Listen to our other episodes of Future CommerceCheck out Decoded, our newest limited seriesHave any questions or comments about the show?

Private equity firms typically buy privately owned companies and restructure them to maximize profits for investors. Private equity has been expanding its presence in the healthcare industry in recent years, with firms buying up hospitals, nursing homes, medical practices, ambulance providers and companies specializing in medical debt collection. A new study examines how both healthcare spending and patient visits changed among private equity-acquired medical practices compared to independently owned medical practices from 2016 to 2020. The researchers found that private equity-acquired medical practices charged 20 percent more, on average, per insurance claim, and saw a nearly 40% increase in new patients compared to independently owned practices. Joining us now is Jane Zhu, a primary care physician and an assistant professor of medicine at Oregon Health & Science University, who co-authored the study published in JAMA Health Forum.
