In this episode of the Private Equity Funcast, host Ryan Milligan speaks with OpenBrand CEO Greg Munves and Chief Economist Ralph McLaughlin about their innovative approach to tracking inflation through the OpenBrand Consumer Price Index for Durable and Personal Goods (CPI-DPG). The CPI-DPG is updated weekly, providing a third independent data point for measuring inflation. Its accuracy has been validated with a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) as low as 1.6% in specific categories. Additionally, OpenBrand offers scenario-based inflation forecasts, enabling companies and investors to tailor predictions to their expectations and market views. Munves and McLaughlin also outline practical use cases: • Manufacturers and retailers optimizing their pricing and promotional strategies. • Investors seeking early insights on market inflation trends to refine financial models. • Policymakers evaluating the effects of economic policies.

Ep 215: I Became a Data Scientist w/ Ryan Milligan Part of the "Is This A Good Time?" series hosted by Brandon Barton.
On this week's episode of M&A Masters, I'm revisiting my conversation with Ryan Milligan, Partner at ParkerGale. I am rewinding this episode for two reasons. The first is that the ParkerGale Capital podcast, The Private Equity Funcast opened the entire private equity world to me over five years ago. The second reason is in our conversation. Ryan and I dove deep into how ParkerGale uses a tool to actively measure culture to create improvements and make companies better places to work. As you probably know, culture is the biggest buzzword of the last few years. According to Caroline Castrillon, a contributor to Forbes, 2022 is the year of workplace culture—so this episode is worth another listen. Ryan says, “Culture is kind of a stew that's created from a whole list of things… the combination of communication… consistency and then listening to your organization.”Listen to learn: The unique way ParkerGale approaches deals, and how they are using transparency to circumvent surprises Which aspects of company culture are the most measurable, maintainable, and ripe for improvement How they use reps and warranties as a release valve for seller pressure The explosion of software and technology in a post pandemic era What the ideal ParkerGale target company looks like And more

Sabrina and Rusty visit the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) Plugfest at Commodity Classic. Hear from Andrew Oliver, Vice Chairman of AEF, and Ryan Milligan, North American Communications and Marketing Lead for AEF.From AEF:AEF MAKES AG TECH HISTORY WITH NEXT GENERATION ISOBUSHigh Speed ISOBUS Demonstrated for First Time at AEF PlugfestNEW ORLEANS (Mar 10, 2022) – Marking a milestone in ag-tech history, High Speed ISOBUS (HSI) was demonstrated for the first time by the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) at its North American 2022 Plugfest during the Commodity Classic trade show in New Orleans. With greater bandwidth and faster connection speed, roughly 4,000 times faster than the original technology, HSI will open new opportunities for innovation and serve the industry far into the future, as even more performance and automation is demanded."We are proud to see this major moment in the history of precision agriculture come to life by demonstrating HSI for the first time in the world," said Norbert Schlingmann, General Manager, AEF. "HSI will deliver greater precision for the future, and that precision will help reduce the amounts of fertilizer and chemicals, improve agronomy, and allow companies to offer products that support sustainability."The team demonstrated the new HSI network with digital cameras and monitors, as well as an implement and an existing tractor display.Originally unveiled 20 years ago, ISOBUS refers to the ISO 11783 standard "nervous system“ of agricultural equipment that seamlessly connects tractors to implements and aftermarket options such as displays and joysticks, etc. With ISOBUS, machines work together as a system better than each component can work on its own. The current ISOBUS delivers enough performance for today's applications while allowing precision ag software engineers to design HSI for the future."ISOBUS is still serving the industry very well and will continue to do so for years to come, but the industry has recognized that ISOBUS is holding back the development of far more demanding systems that aim for higher performance and accuracy of control," said Andrew Olliver, Vice Chairman, AEF. Examples of future technologies using HSI will include higher performance command and control at the row level on a large planter or for the individual nozzles on a sprayer; higher performance of User Interface to see the exact state of every row in real-time, whereas today the operator may see screen updates that are somewhat lagging; remote process viewing with more advanced digital cameras replacing the analog of yesteryear, easily integrated into an HSI system; enabling higher levels of automation; improving diagnostics and faster software updates; connectivity to other in-field machines using AEF Wireless Infield Communications, and more.AEF's annual Plugfest is co-located this year at the Commodity Classic in New Orleans, providing an opportunity for ag equipment software engineers from all over the world to test the compatibility of their ISOBUS products, putting aside competition and working together for the good of the agricultural industry. At the end of the event, attendees will have new data and a deep understanding of how to improve their products.For more information about AEF, please visit: www.aef-online.org.###The Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF)The Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) is an independent organization founded in 2008.

Southern New Hampshire is one area that Joel has previously lived in during his wife's first stint as a travel nurse. But that was back in 2017, and so to get more information on how the scene has changed and grown since then, Joel invites on two local craft beer/brewery fanatics, Jim Sarette and Ryan Milligan. Both have been following the beer scene there for many years and spent time traveling to all the amazing taprooms the area has to offer. Topics range from how Portsmouth developed a strong beer culture to how the national perspective of New Hampshire's breweries differs from neighboring states. Follow Jim on Instagram: @nhbrewhoppers Follow Ryan on Instagram: @nhbeer_guy Joel has visited over 700 breweries across 44 states plus Washington D.C. and has been able to make connections with many amazing individuals because of his travels. He is currently living on the road with his family, constantly “exploring more content and doing extensive research” (which just means visiting breweries and drinking beer)! The goal of Brewery Travels is to provide more information about craft beer scenes from around the country and shine a light on some of the excellent individual breweries that call these cities home. From Portland, Maine to San Diego, California. Austin, Texas to Duluth, Minnesota. The bright lights of New York City to the farmland of rural Iowa. Brewery Travels plans to run the gauntlet of locations, providing in-depth information on as many places as possible. With episodes coming out weekly on Thursdays, Brewery Travels is where you can get your fix if you enjoy a craft beer or traveling. Cheers!

I think, historically in this world, there was this invisible fence where Marketing gets leads and throws them over the fence for Sales to run with. And I think people are realizing that decision cycles are much more complicated, the buyers are much smarter and everything is getting much more crowded.” (04:02) (Ryan) “I, very intentionally, want to be incredibly and closely aligned to a sales team. It is sales tech. You're doing systems to help a team.” (11:29) (Ryan) “I think you're going to continue to see a massive amount of automation in these sales processes, but I think you're also gonna see a lot of people wanting to make sure, as customers, that the automation is still feeling very personalized and finding new paths to talk to customers.” (19:07) (Ryan) “It's a shame that you can't be in-person as much for sure.
