“Hey what are you worst at? Success doesn’t really interest me anymore, it’s too easy. Success = analysis + capital + execution. Anyone can do that.

40 out of 45 IB Analysts I’ve connected with this week have seen at least one episode of Succession, you guys should all catch up on the rest. If anything it just gives you an understanding of how entrepreneurs think, the role ego has in decision-making, and I also think Cousin Greg might be one of the funniest characters on TV.
I also get the vibes I did from GoT — I’ve had a GP in the past tell me to watch Game of Thrones, “it’ll make me better in the industry” 😂 (so of course I binged it that weekend).
Had a couple of new mentees yesterday join our January cohort for our Private Equity Crash Course Prep Package, what one said really resonated well with me:
Number 2 — Mock Interviewing: similar to our friends from Succession: FAIL AS FAST AS POSSIBLE (so you can get good at something). Mock interview all day long so when the real thing comes around, you’re ready.
