Harvard Alumni on Private Equity Fast Pitch® - Career Advice For Private Equity & Investment Banking

THE ADVICE THAT ACTUALLY HOLDS UP   There is no shortage of advice in this industry   Most of it sounds good...   Not all of it lasts   With graduation season here, I wanted to do something a little different on Private Equity Fast Pitch.   These clips come from guests who share a common university.  What they don't share is how they got there:   Different paths Different careers Different firms   What stood out to me was not where they went. It was how consistent the advice was   ⚾️ Play the long game Careers are built over decades, not quarters   ⚾️ Protect your reputation Your word and how you show up compound over time   ⚾️ Do the hard things early That's where real confidence and capability are built   ⚾️ Be intentional Who you work for and what you learn matters more than title   These are not theories.  They are patterns from people who have built across multiple cycles and environments.   The fundamentals are simple. They're just not easy. And they don't change.   If you're early in your career or even if you're not, this is a valuable episode to listen too.    Featured Harvard Graduate Guests:   Adam Blumenthal - Blue Wolf Capital Partners https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000419683769   Bob Grady - Summit Partners https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000466305412   Nik Shah - Cohere Capital https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000492548668   Brandon Bethea - Aterian Investment Partners https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000512756706   Steve Lebowitz - Brand Velocity Group https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000544474759   Alex Western - Terminus Capital Partners https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000588352120   Arthur Hollingsworth - Lone Star Investment Advisors https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000606603038   Clay Hunter - Broadview Group https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000407597189   David Iverson - Iverson Consulting Services https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000409078405   Ralph Manning - Coltala Holdings https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000434156484   Jerry Johnson - Ariel Alternatives https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000455717611   Victor Vescovo - Caladan Capital https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000424858176   Brett Hickey - Star Mountain Capital https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000467637362   Brad Brennerman - Breck Partners https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000490948771   Brent Humphries - AB Private Credit Investors https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000506913145   Dr. Chris Kersey - Havencrest Capital Management https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000531859885   Scott Kolbrenner - GISI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000533229587   Doug McCormick - Oridian Capital Partners https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000575024701   Tom O'Rourke - BayPine https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000590284296   Mark Sotir - Equity Group Investments https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000618757742   Pardis Nasseri - Palm Tree https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000630324818   Devon Kirk - Portage Capital Solutions https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000658066071   Bogdan Gogulan - NewSpace Capital https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000681019854   Erik Brooks - Ethos Capital https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000684256262
