For more than two decades, some of the most important conversations in optometry have happened quietly behind the scenes. Not on stages. Not in public Facebook groups. But inside private discussions where doctors could speak openly with each other about what was really happening inside the profession. That eventually became ODwire. In this episode of Power Hour, Eugene sits down with Dr. Adam Farkas, Founder and Chief Technologist of ODwire and CEwire, to unpack the story behind one of the most influential private communities in optometry. What makes this conversation fascinating is its vantage point. For more than two decades, Adam has had a front row seat to the real conversations happening inside optometry,  the ones doctors have with each other when nobody else is in the room. And over time, those conversations have quietly become a reflection of how the profession itself has evolved.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren's recent tirade against private equity is a libelous set of dishonest manure that should be treated as seriously as any attempt to broadly demonize private equity these days, which is not at all.  Whether the Senator's problem is intellectual or just in telling the truth, she is wrong in so many ways that today's Capital Record gives us a chance to set the record straight.  You will be better off for hearing it, which is never true when one listens to today's private equity critics.

How does a free, decentralized, volunteer-run encyclopedia produce something more trusted than nearly any for-profit institution? Luigi Zingales and Bethany McLean sit down with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales to explore how the platform organizes global knowledge.  The conversation unpacks how Wikipedia governs itself without a central authority, why consensus beats voting, and what the deliberate vagueness of its rules actually protects against. But is artificial intelligence a looming threat to this system? Wales questions whether these new technologies can actually verify truth without the human feedback loops that correct traditional platforms.  Can the community-driven approach of Wikipedia teach the broader business world how to survive an era of deep digital skepticism? Tune in to discover if spontaneous human order is truly the ultimate defense against an automated future. Connect with us:

Two retired luminaries in geriatrics join us today to share their personal experiences. First, John Burton, a geriatrician and Director of the Division of Geriatric Medicine at Johns Hopkins for some 35 years, shares his journey moving into a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) during Covid.  You can read about John's early experiences in his JAGS commentary titled, "Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop."  The tone is bleak.  John's experience since Covid, as you'll hear, is very positive.  Many of the concerns he raised about isolation have been addressed. Second, we hear from Bill Applegate, Geriatrician, retired faculty at Wake Forest, and former Editor in Chief of JAGS (Bill recruited Eric and me to join JAGS as editors about 10 years ago). Bill had a distinctly negative experience in two assisted living facilities (ALFs), which you can read about in his JAGS essay, titled, "My Journey Through Assisted Living Facilities." Bill is seriously concerned about the lack of national oversight, poor staffing, and financial motivations behind for-profit and private-equity owned ALFs. Finally, we hear from Melissa Aldridge, a former banker turned health services researcher, about the rise of private equity purchases of Assisted Living Facilities nationally.  This is a follow up to our prior podcast on private equity gobbling up hospices with Melissa, Lauren Hunt, and Krista Harrison. Melissa is concerned that private equity has a very short time frame to turn acquisitions profitable, and cutting staff is often their first move.  Further, private equity is financing these acquisitions with debt that is increasingly hard to trace and regulate. We talk about how private equity moving from purchasing fast food chains, toy stores, and hotels into CCRC, ALF, nursing home, and hospice ownership is a major concern.  This is not the same as Blackstone buying the Hilton and turning a profit.  These institutions provide healthcare, daily care needs, and community for a huge swath of older adults.  These concerns should trigger a higher level of scrutiny, oversight, and regulation than other industries. What can you do about this, dear listeners?  Listen to the end to find out! Thanks to Jerry Gurwitz for suggesting this podcast.  We appreciate your suggestions. Keep 'em coming. -Alex Smith

In this candid and deeply reflective episode, Nick challenges the ultimate corporate badge of honour: constant busyness.  Drawing from a pivotal 2003 encounter with a remarkably calm and hyper-effective CEO, he unpacks the uncomfortable truth that a packed calendar, endless back-to-back meetings, and the need to sign off on every decision are rarely signs of an indispensable leader.  Listen as Nick shares lessons from his own career missteps, offering five essential shifts for executives to transition from merely feeling important to becoming genuinely effective, unlocking both their true leadership potential and their company's valuation. KEY TAKEAWAYS A constantly packed schedule is often a fear response disguised as strategy, serving to reassure your brain that motion equals progress when it may just be hiding slow-moving failure. The most impactful leaders exhibit a special kind of calm, unbothered by minor chaos because they have conquered the fear of failure and are fully present in the moments that matter. High-value leadership stems from deliberate reflection rather than reactive execution, meaning executives must fiercely guard their strategic thinking time the same way they protect company revenue. A business that cannot function autonomously without its founder faces significant price discounts from potential buyers, proving that true scaling requires building and trusting a capable leadership team. BEST MOMENTS "The CEO who can't step back isn't indispensable—they're actually insecure." "Buyers don't pay a premium for a CEO who's always available; they pay a premium for one who's built something that doesn't require it." VALUABLE RESOURCES Want to grow and scale your business?

Parler d'argent n'est pas honteux. C'est même essentiel pour retenir ses meilleurs talents.Fidéliser une équipe clé, intéresser un manager au capital, ouvrir son capital à des investisseurs, structurer l'arrivée d'un repreneur dans un LBO (le LBO, c'est-à-dire le fait de racheter une entreprise en partie par emprunt bancaire)... autant de questions qui sont au cœur de la vie de nombreuses entreprises. Des questions que vous vous posez, que je me pose moi-même avec Gemmyo.Et pourtant, on ne connaît pas les règles. Alors on traite mal ces sujets ; voire on les ignore complètement, faute de savoir par où commencer.C'est pourquoi j'avais vraiment à cœur d'enregistrer cet épisode, réalisé en partenariat avec le Cabinet Scotto Partners. Isabelle Cheradame est l'une des références mondiales du management package ; le "manpack" ou le “MIP” pour les initiés. C'est précisément l'outil qui répond à toutes ces problématiques. Et comme tout outil puissant, il peut être très bien utilisé… ou très mal.Depuis 25 ans, Isabelle accompagne dirigeants, fondateurs et managers sur des moments décisifs : comment fidéliser une équipe clé, organiser sa gouvernance, ou encore structurer ses relations avec des investisseurs, en France comme à l'étranger.Dans cet épisode, elle nous donne les clés pour comprendre, négocier et sécuriser un package de dirigeant ; sans jargon, avec des exemples très concrets et les erreurs à absolument éviter. Un épisode à faire écouter à tout dirigeant qui envisage un LBO ou une ouverture de son capital, même minoritaire, à des investisseurs ou des salariés!Ce qui m'a marqué chez Isabelle, c'est son empathie. On n'imaginerait pas qu'une avocate puisse tisser des liens aussi forts avec ses clients ; et pourtant, j'ai vraiment senti au fil de notre conversation son attachement profond à accompagner ses clients dans les moments les plus décisifs de leur vie professionnelle.Mais je vous laisse découvrir tout ça par vous-même et laisse place à ma conversation avec Isabelle Cheradame.Bonne écoute ✨Chapitrage 00:00 – Pourquoi parler d'argent et de capital ?01:39 – Comment devient-on experte du management package ?06:05 – À quoi ressemble la vie d'une avocate associée ?12:21 – Qu'est-ce qu'un management package, concrètement ?14:41 – À qui s'adresse cet outil de fidélisation ?20:00 – Quels sont les risques fiscaux et financiers ?27:27 – Actions gratuites, PME, entreprises familiales : quelles options ?32:31 – LBO : que doit vérifier un dirigeant avant de signer ?47:24 – Les erreurs qui peuvent coûter très cher51:38 – Success stories, confiance et leçons de vie58:24 – Le crible du Podcast Notes et références de l'épisode ✨ Pour retrouver Isabelle Cheradame : Sur LinkedIn ✨ Pour retrouver Scotto Partners : Sur leur site✨ Les livres cités par Isabelle Cheradame : Dans les forêts de Sibérie de Sylvain Tesson*Liens affiliés FnacHébergé par Audiomeans.

By the time he landed at his current Private Equity-led company, Matt Kreuger had 15 years under his belt building out ecommerce from scratch, growing global operations, and learning what it takes to drive growth across all different routes to the consumer. But as he says, “what was”doesn't mean “what is”. Everything is always changing, and Matt, from his seat as SVP Digital Commerce and Marketplaces at Buffalo Games, is engineering growth with a lean and agile team and processes that are continually refined for today's opportunities, and preparing for tomorrow's. In addition to all the tech and the processes though, he finds more often than not that his secret weapon is empathy.

In this episode, Jay Weiser joins the podcast to discuss the "accountability crisis" in Private Equity (PE). They explore a common, costly cycle: boards replacing CEOs or CROs when performance dips, only to realize later that the underlying system, not the individual leader, was the true constraint. Jay shares insights on how boards can move beyond "theatrics" and "polished dashboards" to identify fragile revenue, align incentives, and foster a culture of "brains-in" engagement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key Takeaways The Visibility Trap: Leaders are often replaced because they are the most visible element of a company; however, the invisible systems—how decisions are made, how information flows, and how incentives are aligned—are what truly dictate results. The High Cost of Churn: Repeatedly swapping out C-suite leaders leads to extended hold periods and significant loss of enterprise value Information Friction: By the time data reaches the board, it has often been polished, filtered, and aggregated to the point that critical signals of failure (like high churn or poor sales quality) are hidden Revenue Quality vs. Volume: Not all revenue is created equal. "Fragile revenue" from customers who are a poor fit for operations or customer success erodes multiples and makes exit stories harder to defend. The Power of Shared Ownership: Jay highlights the "Ownership Works" model, where creating a broad-based employee ownership pool can improve culture, reduce turnover, and increase exit multiples by as much as 1.5 times. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actionable Questions for Boards & Leaders To move from "passive oversight" to "active insight," Jay and Marcus suggest asking these uncomfortable but necessary questions: Would this deal survive diligence? If a buyer knew exactly what was "under the hood" regarding customer satisfaction and operational hurdles, would they still buy? Is the customer actually using the product? Don't just look at sales volume; look at activation, adoption, and time-to-value. What did we learn this week that makes our plan less certain? Reward the people who raise risks early rather than those who try to "rescue" a failing deal at the last minute. Are we "prosecuting the person" or the "argument"? Ensure the culture allows for constructive challenge without individuals feeling attacked or silenced. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leading Indicators to Watch Customer Activation/Adoption Rates: Are they sporadic or consistent Time to Value: How long does it take for a customer to report they received the value they intended? Incentive Alignment: Are salespeople paid for volume alone, or is compensation tied to customer duration and team success? The "So What" Test: Does the information in the board pack actually inform a decision, or is it just "history" you can't act on? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Featured Quotes "If you're swapping out the leader, but the system stays the same, you're going to get the results that the system allows to be produced." — Jay Weiser "Boards don't make bad decisions because they're stupid. They make bad decisions because confidence in the story outruns the evidence." — Marcus Cauchi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Jay Weiser LinkedIn: Jay Weiser Email: jay@jayweiser.com Website: Uncover. Unlock. Unleash.℠ Growth and Value | Jay Weiser Consulting Marcus Cauchi's Closing Advice: Before you back the next plan, test the evidence behind it. If you want to know where value is fragile or real, reach out for a five-day evidence check.

Your pool service route isn't just a weekly schedule, it's an asset that can be worth real money if you can prove it. We sit down with Niki Acosta and Hal Denbar from Skimmer to get specific about what actually increases a pool service business valuation, and what quietly destroys it when a buyer starts digging. If you've ever wondered whether you can build something you can sell, this conversation lays out the practical path.We get into what “due diligence” looks like when someone wants to acquire a pool service company: the buyer is really buying your people, your customers, and your data. That makes your pool service management software a core part of the deal. Clean service history, secure customer records, consistent invoicing, and organized routes don't just make your life easier, they reduce risk for an acquirer and can materially raise what your business is worth. We also talk about the customer-facing side: modern communication and payments signal professionalism and help retention.Then we zoom out to the bigger trend: private equity and consolidation moving into pool service. We unpack the real fears pool pros have about pricing and marketing, why big companies often end up charging more, and how that can actually give small operators room to raise rates. We also tie it to the “speed wins” reality in home services, where answering first can beat price and reviews, and where tools like routing, customer communication, and AI-assisted call handling can help you compete.If you want to protect your route, grow smarter, and build a business that's actually sellable, listen through to the end and take notes. Subscribe, share this with a pool pro friend, and leave a review with the biggest change you're making to increase your company's value.Your pool service route isn't just a weekly schedule, it's an asset that can be worth real money if you can prove it.

Most business owners never think about what their company looks like through the eyes of a buyer - until it is too late. In this episode, Nick Loise sits down with Mike Lorence, a Marine veteran turned private equity expert, to pull back the curtain on exactly what PE firms look for when evaluating a business for acquisition or growth. The growth levers Mike shares are not just for businesses that want to sell - they are the same principles that drive rapid, sustainable growth in any company. From getting the owner out of the selling environment to building diversified revenue streams, from Porter's Five Forces to the psychology of recruiting top sales talent, you'll discover how to see your business through the eyes of the most sophisticated buyers in the market. If you want to build a business that is more valuable, more sellable, and more profitable - whether you ever plan to sell or not - this conversation is required listening.

In this episode, we are joined by Jeff Hooke, former investment banking, private equity, and private debt executive turned academic critic of alternative investments, for a rigorous and provocative examination of private equity, private credit, and institutional investing. Jeff draws on decades of experience in finance and years of academic research to challenge many of the assumptions driving institutional and retail allocations to private markets. We discuss why pension plans and endowments continue pouring capital into alternatives despite evidence of underperformance, how private market valuations can obscure true risk, and why the fee structures embedded in private funds create enormous hurdles for investors. Jeff explains the methodological challenges of benchmarking private investments, the role of investment consultants and industry incentives, and why illiquidity and opaque reporting make private assets especially difficult for retail investors to evaluate. Along the way, we explore survivorship bias, public market equivalents, unrealized valuations, and the growing push to bring private assets into retirement portfolios. This conversation is an in-depth look at the incentives, risks, and realities shaping the modern alternatives industry.   Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:18) Introduction to Jeff Hooke and the focus on private equity, private credit, and alternative investments.

KEY TAKEAWAYS ●      Universal principles are just that. If they're truly universal then they only require modification in small ways, and infrequently. Tying our understanding to these core principles gives us strength. ●      It is entirely possible to be "successfully stuck" by accepting a growth rate or profit level that may seem suitable for your industry, when in fact your efforts should produce a lot more when compared to the business world as a whole. ●      Leadership is not singular. Everyone in the business is a leader or a follower in a very dynamic way. We are students or teachers all at once, even those in a higher place in the hierarchy. ●      Business, scale and growth are a matter of geometry, but the great minds are the ones who realise that there is geometry on top of geometry. There are always levels that can be explored and exploited beneath the surface. BEST MOMENTS 'I became the one-eyed man in the land of the blind' 'You have the ability as an entrepreneur to work on the geometry of your business' 'You're constantly growing not just yourself but all your people' 'It gives you a better context of understanding the psyche and the workings of your target audience's mind' VALUABLE RESOURCES Want to grow and scale your business?
