ADVICE THAT LASTS DECADES

Every May since 2018, I've released an annual montage focused on advice for college students and young professionals interested in private equity, investment banking, and the investing world

This year's version marks Episode 200 of Private Equity Fast Pitch!

Over the last 12 months I asked founders, CEOs and managing partners from Private Equity firms, Investment Banks and LPs the same question:

What advice would you give to young professionals trying to build a meaningful career in this business?

What makes this episode special is not just the milestone, it's how often the same themes continue to surface...

Different firms

Different backgrounds

Different paths

But the themes are remarkably consistent

⚾️ Find work that gives you energy

⚾️ Build real relationships

⚾️ Do the hard things early

⚾️ Learn from people who are better than you

⚾️ Stay curious

⚾️ Understand that careers are built over decades, not quarters

What stands out after 200 episodes is this...

The foundational elements of long-term success are timeless

And while this episode is designed for young professionals and graduating students, I think the advice applies at every stage of a career

I'm incredibly grateful for all of my guests who have shared their sage advice over the years!
