Episode #32: Preserving Value After the Exit w/Dave Wolcott
Oct 22, 2026Dave Wolcott, founder of a family office and creator of the WealthOS platform, discusses how operators and investors can prepare for a liquidity event before it arrives. He covers treating taxes as a set of incentives, why diversification alone does not build wealth, why an investment policy statement gives wealth a strategy, and how a wealth flywheel can lower taxes and grow income over time. Hosts Scott Estill and Nick Creasey frame the conversation around C-suite operators, operating partners, and investors whose largest payout comes at the end of a hold period.
Episode #31: 22 Deals In - Lessons From a Decade as an Independent Sponsor w/Sequoya Borgman
Sep 30, 2026Sequoya Borgman, founder and CEO of Borgman Capital, discusses his independent sponsor model and 22 acquisitions over a decade using special purpose vehicles instead of traditional committed funds. He explains how sellers prefer the flexibility and longer hold periods of the independent sponsor structure, how his firm built a network of 500+ retail accredited investors through a platform called Pass the Hat, and how that investor base serves as both a sourcing and value creation advantage. Borgman covers what drives returns in leveraged buyouts, the characteristics that separate strong independent sponsors from deal-only operators, and key lessons learned, particularly around hiring and holding people accountable early.
