EP 03 | Colbert Cannon on Big Bets and the Life Around Them
<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/colbert-cannon-a98b0286/">Colbert Cannon</a> was born in Anchorage because his father wanted to fly a Cessna on skis into remote Alaskan villages (00:01:08). He got into finance because he watched the movie Wall Street and figured lawyers must be the ones doing the deals, then landed at <a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/">Goldman Sachs</a> out of <a href="https://www.harvard.edu/">Harvard</a> in 1997 (00:04:50). He quit banking because a deal made him miss a friend's rehearsal dinner (00:09:35). He launched his own fund, wound it down, and landed at <a href="https://www.hpspartners.com/">HPS Investment Partners</a> on the strength of people he had trusted for decades (00:13:45). Then the whole firm merged into <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/">BlackRock</a>, and now he says the most absurd sentence in his life: my parent company manages 14 trillion dollars (00:16:19).</p><p>That's the career. The rest is better. He cooks every meal in his house and runs Thanksgiving for 30 off a 15 minute Excel grid (00:28:08). He sits on the board of <a href="https://www.edibleschoolyardnyc.org/">Edible Schoolyard NYC</a> (00:30:26). He almost took a standing Monday night gig at a bar on Bleecker Street (00:32:31). He met his wife at 18 and now watches her run <a href="https://www.citypickle.com/">City Pickle</a>, the business that put pickleball courts in Central Park (00:35:00).</p><p>He has spent 13 seasons asking other people these questions on <a href="https://www.hpspartners.com/insights/the-hpscast/">The HPScast</a> (00:23:03). <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-bain/">Jenny Bain</a> asks him the one she asks every guest: what do you wish you had figured out sooner (00:38:33).</p><p>----more----</p><p>Hosted by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-bain/">Jenny Bain</a><br>Featuring: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/colbert-cannon-a98b0286/">Colbert Cannon</a>, Managing Director at <a href="https://www.hpspartners.com/">HPS Investment Partners</a><br>Produced and edited by two time Emmy Award winning producer <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanya-hubbard/">Tanya Hubbard</a><br>People You Should Know is presented by Octus and part of the Octus Podcast Network</p><p></p><ul><li>(00:00) - Cold open and intro </li> <li>(01:08) - Born in Alaska, raised in North Carolina </li> <li>(04:50) - Harvard, the lawyer plan, and Goldman in 1997 </li> <li>(09:35) - Boston, Audax, and learning how businesses actually work </li> <li>(11:42) - Glenview, launching Wingspan, and what running a fund teaches you </li> <li>(13:45) - Joining HPS and the prescience of private credit </li> <li>(16:19) - Inside the BlackRock merger and a $14 trillion parent </li> <li>(19:43) - What the press gets right and wrong about private credit </li> <li>(23:03) - Hosting a podcast and the Danny Meyer lesson </li> <li>(28:08) - Cooking, Thanksgiving for 30, and Edible Schoolyard </li> <li>(32:31) - Music, Bleecker Street, and City Pickle </li> <li>(38:33) - What he wishes he'd figured out sooner</li> </ul>

EP 02 | Dr. Jonathan Fader on The Psychology of High Performers
Why do some incredibly talented people never make it, while others with average talent become unstoppable? Dr. Jonathan Fader, Co-Founder and Director of Performance Coaching at SHRPA, joins Jenny Bain on the latest People You Should Know. Fader traces his curiosity back to the 80s, sitting in zip-up pajamas listening to his mother reframe career stories for clients at the kitchen table (02:24). He walks through what he learned working with the Mets, the Giants, and the FDNY about why prospects fizzle and suspects outperform (05:13). He breaks down the "X Factor" trap where a leader's greatest strength becomes their Achilles heel (16:07), and gets specific on the five-minute-a-day skill that compounds into transformation (44:13). A conversation about adjustment, trust, and the practice of being present. ----more----Hosted by Jenny BainFeaturing: Dr. Jonathan Fader, Co-Founder and Director of Performance Coaching at Strata Performance.Produced and edited by two-time Emmy Award-winning producer Tanya Hubbard.People You Should Know is presented by Octus and part of the Octus Podcast Network.

EP 01 | Molly Breen on Building a Career You Can't Plan
Molly Breen got her first finance job by inviting a room of bankers to a White Russian party during a D.C. snowstorm. The interview answers didn't land her the offer. The invitation did. Molly, Head of Capital Markets at Permira, joins Jenny Bain on the very first episode of People You Should Know, season two. She walks through the rotational program that taught her to learn fast (04:34), the senior woman who took one look at her and said "you belong on a syndicate desk" (05:59), and the cliff-jump from equity syndicate into leveraged finance that almost broke her (10:48). She also gets into raising the debt that helped acquire Octus, the boardroom seat she now holds, and why she still picks up calls at 3 a.m. (24:20). A first guest worth starting with. ----more---- Hosted by Jenny Bain.Featuring Molly Breen, Head of Capital Markets, Permira.Produced and edited by two-time Emmy Award-winning producer Tanya Hubbard.People You Should Know is presented by Octus and part of the Octus Podcast Network.
