Episode notes
Invest For The Long Term, Not Market Timing
- Double down on long-term investments during downturns instead of timing the market.
- Invest in durable channels and capabilities to outcompete peers when cycles turn.
Private Equity Cuts Often Suppress Growth Investment
- Private equity owners often prioritize cuts to service debt, reducing growth investments.
- That leads to conservative corporate strategies and slower marketing investment from PE-backed firms.

- Consider investing when sentiment is worst because prices and competition are lower.
- Use downturns to buy assets, talent, or build capabilities for outsized future returns.
