One of the best books we've read on private equity is by Adam Coffey. The title is The Private Equity Playbook.

Adam's newest book is based on a two-day presentation he gave on how to roll up an industry purposely and effectively. He turned his 300-plus page slide deck into the book Empire Builder: The Road to a Billion.

Some of the topics we cover include:

investing in what you know
a simple example using a mowing company and its unit economics
the industry traits for empire building
the 30:1 rule for managers
the rule of 130
price escalation clauses
Sandy Ogg
Financial diligence and proctology exams
