The Airplane Teardown Strategy to 3X Your Capital | Jeff Stock & Cruz Gamboa

Scaling can feel like a simple equation: sell more, hire more, grow faster. We’ve seen the darker side of that story, when revenue climbs but cash disappears, working capital snaps, and a “successful” company suddenly faces layoffs and panic. Cruz and Jeff sit down for a candid V8 Podcast conversation about how to grow without blowing up, and why purpose-driven work still needs sharp financial fundamentals.Jeff shares how he’s building a private investment fund aimed at backing companies that benefit humanity while targeting strong returns through alternative investments. We dig into three core strategies: tax incentives tied to EV charger projects, diversified real estate partnerships focused on new construction, and an angel investment pool designed to spread early-stage risk across multiple startups. He also breaks down a surprising asset class, airplane teardown for parts, and why pairing different cash-flow profiles can de-risk a portfolio and support consistent preferred returns.Cruz brings the operator lens from CFO advisory and finance technology: cash conversion cycle, payment terms, vendor timing, and the “financial design” that determines whether growth is sustainable. We also talk leverage, concentration risk, accredited investor rules, K-1 tax allocation concepts, and how community and aligned partners can accelerate execution.
