In our 31st episode, we are joined by Mark Radzik, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Granite Creek Capital Partners.
Among their beer stories, Scott and Mark discuss how career building blocks shaped Granite Creek, why flexible capital creates stronger relationships with founder-led businesses, and how specialization in underserved niches can create an edge in an increasingly crowded private equity market.
