#100 | Perimeter Solutions (Free) Premium Deep Dive | w/ Joep Dikken from Tresor Capital
2d ago00:53:37Tap to summarizeThe TDI-Terminal now comes with a monthly plan! Give it a try for just $19!Every year, millions of acres of forest burn across North America, threatening thousands of homes and costing billions of dollars in damage. The biggest challenge in stopping a megafire isn't a lack of brave firefighters or aircraft but that water alone evaporates almost instantly in extreme heat.Traditionally, when a wildfire breaks out, firefighting crews rely on dropping water or short-term suppressants directly on the flames. But in scorching temperatures and high winds, water dries up before it can slow down the fire's edge. By the time ground crews arrive or wind conditions shift, the flames have already jumped the line, leaving communities defenseless.Perimeter Solutions built the answer to that challenge.Through its flagship chemical retardant, PHOS-CHEK, Perimeter provides a long-term fire retardant that alters the flammability of forest fuels even after the water completely evaporates. Dropped from specialized air tankers, it lays down an impenetrable red barrier ahead of the flames, buying critical time for ground crews to contain the inferno. Paired with a massive, integrated network of over 150 airbase locations and specialized mixing equipment, Perimeter doesn't just sell the chemical—they ensure that when a fire strikes, the retardant is mixed, loaded, and in the air with zero room for failure.Want more of Joep?➡️ LinkedIn➡️ Tresor Capital🎧 Deep dive on TransMedics with JoepSupport the showTry our all-in-one investing terminal!Research.

#96 | TransMedics (Free) Premium Deep Dive | w/ Joep Dikken from Tresor Capital
Jun 1801:08:15Tap to summarizeThere are roughly 100,000 people on organ transplant waiting lists in the United States right now. About 20 of them die every single day. Not because there aren't enough willing donors but because of how we transport and preserve organs.Traditionally, when a donor organ becomes available, it gets put on ice in a cooler and rushed to the recipient hospital. Ice. Like your groceries. And the problem is that this method called static cold storage gives surgeons very little time. A donated heart, for example, starts deteriorating about 4 hours after retrieval. If you can't get it to the patient in time, it's unusable. Organs from donors far away often get rejected simply because the logistics are too difficult.TransMedics built the solution to that. Best Financial Data ProviderSave 15% on Fiscal AI.

#93 | Texas Roadhouse Deep Dive | High Steaks and Sizzling Margins
May 1400:23:44Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the TDI Podcast, we are doing a deep dive into a company that breaks almost every rule taught in business school: Texas Roadhouse. How does a restaurant become one of the greatest success stories in casual dining when it refuses to serve lunch during the week, does zero national TV advertising, and requires managers to put up $25,000 before they even start?We explore the inspiring, unconventional journey of founder Kent Taylor, the unique culture that drives their customer loyalty, and the economics behind their free peanuts and fresh-baked bread. From tracking key metrics like Average Unit Volume (AUV) to analyzing the constant threat of fluctuating beef prices, we break down the financials and the core operational strategy. But the biggest question remains: does Texas Roadhouse actually have a sustainable economic moat, or are we just looking at a well-run operation that is one bad CEO away from collapse?Support the showTry our all-in-one investing terminal!Research.
