Ebben az epizódban

This summer, I’m revisiting one of my favorite episodes.

If you haven’t heard it, now is the time.

If you have, it’s a classic and worth listening to again.

Brad Jacobs has built eight billion-dollar companies, completed more than 500 acquisitions, and created extraordinary returns for shareholders over four decades.

Few people understand how great businesses are built better than he does.

This conversation is about the principles behind that success.

Brad explains how he spots trends before they become obvious, why psychology matters as much as strategy, and how he thinks about acquisitions, hiring, capital allocation, decision-making, and building organizations that consistently outperform.

He also shares lessons from therapy, meditation, and decades of leadership that changed how he manages people and makes decisions. ----- Chapters: 00:00 - Finding Every Opportunity to Make Money 02:03 - The Singularity & The Future of AI 04:14 - How to Think Rationally 05:40 - The Meta-Trend Driving the Future 07:50 - His Research Process 10:21 - How to Ask Better Questions 16:26 - Rearranging Your Brain for Success 20:55 - What Music & Math Teach Us About Business 30:59 - The Asymmetry of Leverage, Debt & Optionality 35:07 - The Psychology of Contrarian Bets 40:41 - Where True Confidence Comes From 50:19 - The Hidden Cost of Negative Feedback 56:12 - Core Lessons on Money & Wealth 58:11 - The M&A Playbook: How to Build an Empire 01:07:50 - The Exact Questions to Read Anyone Instantly 01:11:10 - The Reality of Board Meetings 01:16:55 - Frameworks for High-Stakes Decision-Making 01:23:35 - The Brutal Truth About Capital Markets 01:25:40 - Avoid Hiring This Type of Person 01:31:16 - Traits of the World’s Best Capital Allocators 01:33:53 - The Biggest Lesson of the Past Year 01:37:20 - Redefining Personal Success ----- Follow Brad Jacobs: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradjacobsqxo/ QXO: https://www.qxo.com/ ------ Newsletter:  The Brain Food newsletter delivers actionable insights and thoughtful ideas every Sunday.
