As of this recording, Ecolab has a $66 billion market cap and protects over 36% of the world's packaged food supply and over 44% of the global milk supply.

    Snap-on: Tools of the Trades - [Business Breakdowns, EP.213]
    Apr 16 2025
    Today, we explore the world of tools to break down Snap-on. Snap-on has been around for over 100 years and operates with over a $17 billion market cap. It has continuously evolved the straightforward model of selling tools to specialists, like mechanics, into a durable business model while carving out a leadership position in the professional tools market. My guest is Matt Fleming, portfolio manager at William Blair. Matt gets into what makes Snap-on stand out, the early days of tool innovation, the relationship-focused sales team built around a franchise model, and a financing program that dates back to the very early days. If you've only lived in the world of DeWalt tools, you'll have some fun learning about the professional world through Snap-On. Please enjoy this breakdown of Snap-on.

  • Goosehead: Insuring Coverage - [Business Breakdowns, EP.212]

    Goosehead: Insuring Coverage - [Business Breakdowns, EP.212]
    Apr 9 2025
    Today we are breaking down Goosehead Insurance. I always enjoy hearing about how a new entrant has effectively carved out a niche in a world of incumbents and Goosehead fits that billing perfectly. I'm joined by Geoff Collette, founder and PM of Aeon Capital Partners, and he walks us through the story of Goosehead identifying a bottleneck in the home-buying process. We also cover the evolving market, where captives like State Farm and Allstate are leaving opportunities for independent players like Goosehead to provide value. There's a lot to learn from Goosehead and its evolution, with notable themes like technology, the franchising model, and an emphasis on speed. What will the next chapter look like for Goosehead? Please enjoy this breakdown on Goosehead Insurance.
