Welcome to another episode of the Private Equity Podcast. Today, I'm joined by Scott Cook, an experienced Chief HR Officer with over 100 add-on acquisitions under his belt. We dig into what really drives successful integration—nailing culture, managing change, aligning roles, and avoiding the classic post-acquisition mistakes. If you want a no-nonsense guide to people, process, and performance in PE-backed services businesses, this episode is a must-listen.[00:00] Over 100+ add-on acquisitions and integrations, with a focus on commercial and residential services.[00:29] Private equity mistake: solving adaptive people problems with technical solutions.[01:51] Example: pay plan integration fails without addressing pride, fear, and control among legacy staff.[03:49] Change takes time, but skipping the adaptive side slows everything down.[04:45] “Intervention without diagnosis is malpractice.”[05:12] Change process: Transparency (what we know/don't know), Humility (not always right), Authenticity (real conversations).[07:38] Run changes in parallel to prove success before full implementation.[08:33] Adaptive resistance often comes from fear of loss, not logic[09:30] Key issue isn't just communication—it's the resistance behind it.[10:55] Missed clarity of roles and vision derails integration.[12:22] Diligence mistake: confusing deal confirmation with actual diligence.[13:21] Integration failures often come from ignoring cultural misalignment.[14:47] Early lesson: distinguish between necessary and unnecessary endings—prune what's dying or holding growth back.[17:08] Win trust early by changing non-critical items that don't affect frontline staff or customers.[19:30] Founders often don't work out post-acquisition—PE firms struggle to make them fit.[20:34] Sellers always experience some remorse—plan for it during diligence.[22:00] Ask: “What does ending well look like for you?” Define success before they exit.[24:23] CFOs and CEOs shouldn't be in the weeds—define direction, context, and outcomes.[26:44] Great CFOs provide context, not micromanagement. Great CEOs delegate integration to focus on growth.[29:32] Former founders can still add value via advisory roles or special projects.[32:24] Pest control and HVAC still hot—residential M&A picking up, commercial lagging due to government slowdown.[35:20] Resi/commercial services sector is early in its PE wave. Tons of opportunity, but plagued by poor leadership and weak diligence.[37:37] Rise in fractional execs to bridge early-stage post-acquisition gaps.[38:39] Book recs: Why Should Anyone Be Led by You? – leadership authenticityFalling Upward – personal development and meaningNecessary Endings – pruning for growth[40:30] Scott reflects on making work meaningful in the second half of life—impact over income.[40:58] Falling Upward explores this journey.[41:28] Connect with Scott Cook on LinkedIn.

Guest: Ben Chestnut, Former CEO and Co-Founder of MailchimpIf you find yourself selling your startup, then Mailchimp co-founder Ben Chestnut has some important advice for you: Get a dog. When Intuit bought Mailchimp in 2021 for $12 billion, the company asked Ben if he wanted to stay on as CEO, but he chose to “walk off into the sunset” and let the new owners take over. After that, he estimates it took 6 to 12 months before he stopped checking his email, social media, and calendar with the same level of stress a CEO might have. Adopting a dog, he discovered, forces you to “get OK with the voices in your head."“After the acquisition, that's all I do, I walk the dog,” Ben says. “And the dog was good therapy ... No judgments from a dog.”Chapters:(01:09) - Growing slow (03:06) - The long journey (07:48) - Is money a burden?

In this conversation, Camden Bucey, Ryan Noha, Lane Tipton, and Scott Cook discuss various themes surrounding Reformed apologetics, particularly focusing on the critique of Cornelius Van Til's thought as presented in Keith Mathion's book. After highlighting Lane Tipton's new book Union with Christ: The Benefits of His Suffering and Glory, they explore the challenges of understanding Van Til's work, especially given his use of language and the philosophical context of his time. The discussion also touches on the relevance of Van Til's thought in contemporary apologetics and the importance of engaging with the limitations of human language in theology.

He's made early bets on transformative companies like Twitter, Lyft, Twitch, Okta, Rappi, and Applied Intuition and is one of the pioneers of seed-stage investing as a category. He's been on the Forbes Midas List eight times and enjoys sharing the lessons he's learned from his years studying iconic companies. In his new book, Pattern Breakers: Why Some Start-Ups Change the Future, co-authored with Peter Ziebelman, he discusses what he's found separates startups and founders that break through and change the world from those that don't. After spending years reviewing the notes and decks from the thousands of startups he's known over the past two decades, he's uncovered three ways that breakthrough founders think and act differently. In our conversation, Mike talks about:• The three elements of breakthrough startup ideas• Why you need to both think and act differently• How to avoid the “comparison trap” and “conformity trap”• The importance of movements, storytelling, and healthy disagreeableness in startup success• How to apply pattern-breaking principles within large companies• Mike's one piece of advice for founders• Much morePre-order Mike's book here and get a second signed copy for free.

Guest: Scott McNealy, former CEO and co-founder of Sun Microsystems & co-founder of CurrikiScott McNealy never wanted to be CEO of Sun, and in his 22-year tenure before selling to Oracle, he knows there were times he failed to execute, or to rein in the once-iconic Silicon Valley firm's worst impulses. But like his pro golfer son, Maverick, Scott doesn't like to look back: “Golfers will always look back and blame the wind, a divot that wasn't repaired, a bad rake job, a mower cut that wasn't done properly, a gust of wind,” he explains. “If you blame yourself for all of the mistakes you make. You will hate yourself ... I look forward.”In this episode, Scott and Joubin discuss Scott Cook, Maverick McNealy, why big companies are riskier than startups, Al Gore, Marc Andreessen, Mark Zuckerberg, Kodak, Dick Kleinhans, Harvard University, “bozo invasions,” Myers-Briggs, making an example, Motorola car phones, the Moscone Center, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, NVIDIA's valuation, farewell letters, “you have no privacy,” open-source education, and toothpaste.com.In this episode, we cover:Links:Connect with ScottTwitterLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm
Reformed Forum exhibited at the Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary conference in Greer, SC. offers a deep dive into the Confessional Presbyterian Journal's latest issue, with a special focus on the 50th anniversary of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and the historical development of the PCA's Standing Judicial Commission (SJC). Camden Bucey brings together Rev. Zachary Groff, pastor of Antioch Presbyterian Church, and Dr. Scott Cook, visiting professor of apologetics at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, both of whom are deeply involved in the Confessional Presbyterian Journal. The conversation starts with an exploration of the journal itself, highlighting its dedication to addressing pressing issues in the church through a blend of pastoral scholarship and rigorous theological analysis. The latest issue's theme revolves around the PCA's 50th anniversary, offering a collection of articles that reflect on the denomination's history, mission, and theological commitments. Zachary Groff provides an overview of the journal's contents, emphasizing the significance of the PCA's commitment to the Great Commission and its historical context. He mentions various contributions that examine the PCA's foundation, its growth, and its ongoing theological debates, particularly those concerning the church's mission and the inclusivity of nations in God's plan through Christ. Dr. Scott Cook focuses on the specific topic of the PCA's Standing Judicial Commission, outlining its origin and evolution. He describes the initial challenges faced by the PCA in maintaining discipline and order within its rapidly growing community. Cook traces the SJC's development back to the 1980s, a period marked by significant debate and eventual compromise within the denomination. He articulates the tension between the desire for a grassroots, decentralized approach to church governance and the practical need for an efficient, centralized judicial body to handle disciplinary cases. This part of the conversation sheds light on the broader issues of polity and ecclesiastical authority within the PCA and offers insights into how the denomination has navigated these challenges over the years. Throughout the episode, the guests underscore the Confessional Presbyterian Journal's role in fostering informed theological conversation and community engagement within the Reformed tradition. The discussion not only celebrates the PCA's past achievements but also critically examines its struggles and future directions, particularly in the realms of theological fidelity, church discipline, and mission. 00:00:07 - Introduction 00:03:38 - Guest Introductions: Rev.

Guest: Rania Succar, CEO of Intuit MailchimpTen years out of college, and with two advanced degrees under her belt, Rania Succar knew she wanted to be an operator. Taking a job at Google taught her a lot, but she chafed under the limitations imposed on her control and personal impact. At Intuit, she finally found what she had been searching for: “We really do have a structure that's set up to give you massive amounts of accountability and responsibility.” For seven years, Rania worked across the Quickbooks team before becoming the CEO of Mailchimp in August 2022. And along the way, she also discovered the “beauty” in jointly owning some functions with her teammates: “It can actually be brilliant.”In this episode, Rania and Joubin discuss immigrant culture, boundless energy, the search for meaning, the illusion of control, getting back to equilibrium, registering your ambition, “Mailkimp,” prioritizing family, sleep experiments, passing the baton, finding problem-solvers, and meetings that give you energy.In this episode, we cover: The importance of family to Syrians, Persians, and immigrants (00:43) Navigating two cultures at the dinner table, and Rania's entrepreneurial father (04:48) The arc of her career, and figuring out where she wanted to put her energy (08:59) What motivates & energizes her, and what takes energy away (14:28) The need to own things end to end, and the beauty of sharing the controls (18:32) What Rania has learned over seven years at Intuit, and how she pushes to do more (24:32) Mailchimp's “genius” sponsorship of Serial, and preserving its scrappy culture (30:46) How Rania allocates her time every week, and finding “30% more efficiency” (34:13) Learning about the importance of sleep “the hard way” (38:45) Getting through the early months of COVID and being authentic with her team (43:30) Learning from leaders like Intuit's Bill Campbell and Scott Cook, and defining the “next chapter of exceptional” (46:51) How a visual impairment became a source of strength (52:54) Setting priorities and being a prisoner of one's calendar (57:16) Links: Connect with Rania Twitter LinkedIn Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner Perkins This episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

When DVx Ventures co-founder Jon McNeill joined Tesla in 2015, he told his new boss Elon Musk: “You won't see me at least a day a week.” That's because Jon believes the job of any leader is to make time to talk to front-line workers who know things executives don't. While he was at Tesla he spent 20% of his time in service centers, support centers, or in retail stores, asking the people who worked there the same question: “If you had had my job for a day, what are the two things you would do to make this place better?”In this episode, Jon and Joubin discuss serial entrepreneurship, growing up without money, road trips, horizontal and vertical mentors, “our generation's Da Vinci,” first-principles thinking, sleeping in the factory, solving problems together, accelerometers, sharing bad news, the similarities between Lululemon and Tesla, “perfect product,” cash-incinerating businesses, transitioning legacy companies, and the Sutter Hill method.In this episode, we cover: Why Elon Musk bought Twitter and how he's running it, two weeks in (03:46) How Jon's father nudged him into an entrepreneurial mindset (06:12) Building an intentional, present relationship with your family (10:15) What Jon learned from Intuit co-founder Scott Cook (15:55) How he got to Tesla, and learned how to work with Elon (18:55) The east Asia trip that birthed Neuralink and The Boring Company (24:56) Ramping up demand for the Tesla Model S and the “manufacturing hell” of the Model X (29:54) Solving problems under pressure and Jon's hack for staying sane (35:57) Recruiting world-class talent (41:05) What Jon asked Elon before joining Tesla (45:37) “Make them talk about you at dinner” (50:47) Simplifying things is an unfair advantage (54:27) What frontline workers know, and Jon's 20% rule (57:08) Lyft's “arms race” with Uber and what DVx's companies do differently (1:00:36) How Jon got to be on the board of GM (1:08:00) Links: Connect with Jon Twitter LinkedIn Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner Perkins

Intuit co-founder Scott Cook still remembers the first line of an email he received in 1994 from billg@microsoft.com: “This really is Bill Gates.” Intuit's personal finance product Quicken had survived being crushed by Microsoft Money, and its new accounting software Quickbooks was thriving as well; instead of competing, Gates wanted to buy Intuit for $1.5 billion and take it worldwide. A deal was struck, hands were shook, but there was just one problem: The U.S. Department of Justice.In this episode, Scott and Joubin discuss finding happiness in your career, who Scott aspired to emulate when he was a young CEO, recruiting for excellence, the radical decision to make Quicken easy to use, the power of paradigms, pulling out of the death spiral, the “oncoming train” of Microsoft, United States v.
