Coburn Ventures Podcast

Hi everyone. Today we're continuing on the topic of uncommon processes to yield uncommon results. And we're continuing with the specific topic of developing and advancing unlocking questions for management. Today we have Bob Gilbreth with us. And among other things, Bob has invested in, built and sold many businesses and has a long career in marketing, including working on some really fun and iconic brands at P &G. We're so happy to have his perspective on unlocking questions for management through the lens of identifying great builders of business. Let's jump in.

We're continuing on the topic of uncommon processes to yield uncommon results, and we are doing that through the topic of developing and advancing unlocking questions. Today we're happy to have Rob Rose with us. Among other things, Rob works with CEOs and CMOs as a strategic marketing consultant, so we'll be exploring his perspective on unlocking questions for management (and he has many gems!) through this lens of marketing. Let's jump in.

Hi everyone. Today we're going to continue on the topic of uncommon processes to yield uncommon results. We are here with Dr. Morris Pickens this morning to pinpoint one high impact routine that we often overlook: how we wake up in the morning. Let's jump in.

In the last podcast, we discussed sell disciplines. Today, we're continuing on that thread, but amping it up a little: we're discussing sell disciplines in the context of periods of crisis. We'll break down about six portions of a sell discipline so that these might inspire a modularized, customized, just right for you sell discipline for your specific philosophy and process. Let's jump in.

Today we're discussing the less popular twin to buying or taking a position: selling that position! When and why do we sell? Are we as disciplined with selling as much as we are with buying or taking a position? How might these disciplines be related or very, very different for us? Well, let's jump in.

We've been talking about clean time as one of the most powerful, uncommon tools we have in our investor toolkit. To help us actually achieve more clean time, today we have Irwin Kula on, who's going to help us unearth some of the very human barriers that keep us from guarding, using, and benefiting from clean time. Let's jump in.

As investors and business leaders, if we can't take in bad news and adjust, we might make ourselves vulnerable to even higher error rates and risk damage to performance. Investing is already a high failure rate activity-- what can we do about this? Today, we present implications and follow up with practical ideas for turning these threats on their head, embracing and practicing swift, clear feedback loops in our process. Let's jump in.

At Coburn Ventures we love the work required to develop and then ask advancing and unlocking questions, whether to interrogate an investment thesis, to develop a research path around burning questions, or very importantly, to guide time with management. Today, we're happy to have Lisa Baird with us. Among other things, Lisa spent a large portion of her career in constant communication with management teams, Boards, and candidates for executive positions as an executive recruiter and coach. We're so happy to have her perspective on unlocking questions for management. Let's jump in.

Last week, we spoke about finding uncommon arbitrage in common sense aspects of investment process. Today, we'll walk through practical ideas to implement and even personalize these aspects, taking common practices and making them your own. Let's jump in.

Today, we're discussing making the common uncommon in philosophy and practices, understanding that these common investment practices that we can turn into uncommon arbitrages maybe right under our nose... if we could only see them. Let's jump in.
