  • Brent Beshore - Adventures in Permanent Equity - [Joys of Compounding, EP. 34]

    Brent Beshore - Adventures in Permanent Equity - [Joys of Compounding, EP. 34]
    Mar 30 2026
    Our teacher today is Brent Beshore, founder and CEO of Permanent Equity, a firm that backs family-owned businesses across North America with no intention of ever selling. As we explore what it means to build enduring companies and live a meaningful life, we turn to Brent’s unconventional path – one that challenges the core assumptions of modern private equity and the incentives that shape it. Brent shares how his background in liberal arts and early experiences with success led him to question the traditional models of achievement, wealth, and performance. He describes why he rejected the “buy, lever, and flip” playbook in favor of permanent ownership, and how designing the right incentives can protect against short-term thinking and misaligned behavior. This special session explores Brent’s journey from studying poverty and politics to building a different kind of investment firm, alongside deeper reflections on faith, introspection, relationships, and the pursuit of the good life. Please enjoy class with Brent Beshore.

    Julian Flannery - Building a Medical Miracle Factory - [Joys of Compounding, EP.33]
    Nov 24 2025
    Our teacher today is Julian Flannery, co-founder and CEO of Summas, a company democratizing access to the world's leading doctors to drive better health outcomes and cost savings for employers and health plans. As we explore the future of human health, we turn to specialty care, where U.S. healthcare's spiraling costs, inadequate speed, and care disparities are most acute. Yet our system's greatest strength remains the expertise of our leading doctors—a national treasure that Summas was designed to connect with patients through an ecosystem of over 5,000 of the world's best physicians. This special session explores Julian’s fascinating journey from the White House and Morgan Stanley to pioneering the expert economy at GLG, and ultimately building what we can only describe as a miracle factory that's having an extraordinary impact on humanity.
