I'm Ted Sides and this is Capital Allocators.
voice-verified
My guest on today's show is Eric Brooks, the co-founder and managing partner of Ethos Capital, a middle market private equity firm built to bring seasoned C-suite operators into every aspect of the investment process.
voice-verified
Eric's experience, prior to founding Ethos in 2019, spanned privatizations in Eastern Europe, value investing at BowPost, and 20 years at ABRIPartners.
voice-verified
Our conversation covers Eric's path to private equity, lessons learned about risk, the importance of betting on people, and the evolution in his thinking that led to forming Ethos.
voice-verified
We then cover Ethos' focus on durable business models, one deal-a-year cadence, operating system to evaluate and improve companies, and an investment example that brings it all to life.

Before we get going, for the first time since 1999, the Knicks are in the NBA Finals.

Twenty-seven years sounds like a long time.
voice-verified
My twins are twenty and that feels like a full lifetime of parenting.
voice-verified
Twenty-seven years is also half of my life.
voice-verified
Or if you're counting a little bit less than half.
voice-verified
But sometimes it seems like just yesterday.
voice-verified
1999 was the year I graduated business school alongside some amazing past guests, like Rodrigo Bittar, Matt Bouteen, Rodney Comages, Meredith Jenkins, David Lyon, Rick Heitzman, Alex Sasserdote, and Matt Spielmouth.
voice-verified
When I see any of them, twenty seven years feels like yesterday.
voice-verified
But there's another dynamic worth talking about.
voice-verified
In nine years of doing the podcast, I've never once mentioned the Knicks.
voice-verified
The Yankees scroll off my tongue.
voice-verified
But mentioning these Knicks now easily puts me in the bucket of a fair weather fan.
voice-verified
A Fairweather fan is one who only pays attention when their team is winning.
