It's my first video from this channel. Hats off to the host for discovering this gem of an entrepreneur and sharing with us. Brad is remarkably honest and transparent, and is clearly gifted at what he does.
Great Masterclass! How Mr. Jacobs managed to effortlessly talk finance and leadership with great zeal, passion, clarity, and authenticity boggles me. Thank you!
Very deep conversation here, greatly appreciate especially as a new CEO in the healthcare industry. I am learning alot from this single podcast conversation. I salute.
Bradley Jacobs is a one of kind entrepreneur. I encourage you to read his background and professional career. Guy perfected the "roll-up" transaction and M&A model. Truly a great operator of companies and understands the entire Big Picture.
What many of us professionals have failed to realize is how much efficiency is important and what actually contributes to achieving that. It isn't merely a systems approach but also very human centric and the feedback/info you gather from that you use to develop effective systems; and the thing that makes this most achievable is transparency! The more you can see of a thing the easier it is to manage and simplify. That's one of if not his main strength/superpower. You don't achieve efficiency by creating layers and barriers, which is a very egocentric approach to leadership.
I resonate so much with the idea of being a musician in business. The ability to improvise and adapt to any note life throws at you is what sets true entrepreneurs apart.
Iv a childhood friend who is the epicenter of my music appreciation foundation. A fantastic guitarist whom I always wanted to assist with his music promotion and he hasn't gotten there becuz the collaboration didn't happen and he didn't take the opportunity risks. I can see clearly now it was never his strength and he sorta overly independent. I'm still hoping he corrects and takes off.
Boy o boy….I came in for financial insight & the first few minutes Mr. Jacobs brought up psychology & therapy & he is absolutely right: he was able to know himself on a deeper level to be more optimal in the ever changing world we confront on our day-to-day lives. 😢😢😊
I'm slowly digesting Brad Jacobs' new book "How to Make a Few Billion Dollars", it's NOT on Audible and my reading time is limited so I'll take a few bites of the book before I turn in, I wish I could say I'm devouring it, but no, some of the paragraphs have a high density of information on how he thinks about things, I have to ponder what he is saying for a while. He is such an interesting guy!🤑
Update! The book is now on Audible, narrated by Brad Jacobs himself! It is such a great playbook! I love his philosophies and the way he operates; it's truly inspiring! ✨️
I am so impressed with this gentleman. He has such a good heart. Truly a superior human being. In my home country, Romania, we use the word ‘character’ to describe a person’s personality/demeanor. Mr. Jacobs has a beautiful character. I’ll be ordering his book.
Great interview, both of you are so calm and relaxing to listen to. I really liked this: "bad ideas can hide in complexity but they can't hide in simplicity".
This is a really insightful interview, especially the part about leveraging AI in business. Integrating AI not just in products but also in optimizing backend processes can significantly cut costs and boost efficiency.
If perhaps success, profit, makes its way back to every employee, I believe you will create a culture of unstoppable success. Incentivized by getting paid for adding value to the bottom line, discovering a better way with intelligence, you learn from a motivated loyal team member if you can hear
I wish you asked him more about tinnitus . it is impossible to ignore high pitch tinnitus . How did he learn this? It has destroyed many lives and can be very very debilitating. I also got it because of music ( ear buds ).
Never planned to watch this interview, but it turned out to be a mini-MBA by a successful practitioner. Will definitely watch this again and take notes this time around. I am now a raging fan :)
Insightful conversation shedding light on Brad Jacobs' remarkable success in building billion-dollar companies. His emphasis on key factors, from leveraging AI to honing interview techniques, offers valuable lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs. A must-watch for those eager to unlock the secrets of business growth.
Hmmm, he is an energetic thinker and charismatic. I looked at his philosophy, "value for shareholders..." okay, but, but, what about value for employees? There is, first a business concept, then capital and frankly these go Nowhere without employees. Starting with the janitor, mechanic and assistant on up. When someone has a billion, there has to be systematic wage theft. We have a cultural delusion that workers must sacrifice for shareholders. A paradigm change is desirable.
@@thebookelf2135 No it isn't. Businesses belong to the people who paid for them. If you come and do my garden every week, do you have a right to own my garden? No.
Just the opposite theories of those that built the most valuable company in the world--Apple by Steve Jobs. This is now called "financialization" where financial engineering creates a growing stock price, but decreases the actual creation of quality products and services. Jobs knew that quality and innovation would delight customers and the bottom line would take care of itself. Two books to read here would be Gelles' "The Man Who Broke Capitalism" about the financialization of GE by Jack Welch and Foroohar's "Makers and Takers, How Wall Street Destroyed Main Street." You will learn more there than this "Welchian" gibberish. Sadly, Tim Cook, not understanding what Jobs did, has been undergoing the financialization of Apple, a company built on innovation and entrepreneurial behavior.
It says it all in the phrase he keeps repeating - for shareholders. Even in the trucking example he gave as a success story, there was no mention of the workers, the folks that were gotten rid of in the process. It was about the org chart and how he seemingly cleaned it up. The standing in circles, “oreo sandwich” etc. are all ways to forcibly lend meaning to otherwise a deadening setup that’s far removed. How outstanding psychotherapists approach their work, how great jazz musicians approach their craft is not in seeing their validation, their solo improv as techniques. The point of the validation is not to do a validation, the point of bringing in a solo isn’t just so one can do a solo. Math isn’t in the sums you do.
3:18 He’s right Homosapien further progress. It is the same as chat. Fight is off today. I slow down by the meet back at the cockpit. So Homo sapiens must die for evolution to continue and sharing begin.

That story about your Dad was hilarious 😂 He reminds me of one of my best friend’s Dad who was a really big guy with an even bigger personality and deep voice and an excellent sense of humor😅..I miss him a lot. Really enjoyed listening to you, please make more content, you have a gift for speaking and explaining things and you also have great gestures! Much Love💪

Ask his employees if he really has 'character'
Having Albert Ellis as your therapist and Aaron Beck in your close circle of acquaintances means a lot.

U missed his lesson. You can meditate on a sound. It's an actual yoga meditation technique and in your/our case, a way of making lemonade from lemons.
Very compassionate man a lot to learn about how he does business it’s what’s needed in the business world today

Wasn't he talking about a debt coverage ratio?? 32:25
What’s the Trend?
We’re heading into the sci-fi phase of human history
Am I missing something here ? He is talking about aquiring Convoy as a success story, but Convoy shut down operations and its not longer in business.
Yeah but did he make his millions and get out in time?!? That’s probably all he cares about, or if he made it for his shareholders….
