TL;DR: Key takeaways from shadowing the CEO / CFO of a PE-backed portfolio company. Also, managed to take a video in the leadership meeting without anyone noticing (attached). CEO: - Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick - When the CEO asks a question, it’s rhetorical — don’t answer - Only show adjusted EBITDA aggressively hockey-sticking up and to the right - The narrative is the business - Build a story someone richer than you wants to believe in - Don’t build for the customer — build for the CIM CFO: - Patagonia vest encouraged; Celsius + Zyn required - Every meeting is marked URGENT, and most are optional - Inflate the forecast, then blame timing or weather when it misses - PE associates reply faster than you can read the subject line - When in doubt, reclass expenses and move below the line as “non-recurring” - Headcount is a lever — pull it to hit profitability targets Excited to leverage this knowledge in my career.

Kindergarten graduation The teacher made a video of every kid saying what they want to be when they grow up Proudest moment of my life My wife looked at the ceiling The teacher asked to speak to me after She did not say what about Probably to apologize for putting him last in the interview order He's going places Some may say that I am the world's best dad Sent from my iPhone
