My guest on the show today is Dylan Marrello, better known as @ragingbullcap on Twitter/X. I've been following Dylan for a while now and wanted to invite him on to learn more about investing strategy, philosophy, and most interestingly, what investing themes he's looking at right now. As a natural contrarian, we jammed on a bunch of these ideas, including: counter cyclicality, offshore oil drilling, commercial real estate, coal, buying scarce assets, inflation protection, and more! We also talk at length about his largest position, Cipher Pharmaceuticals.
Dylan mentioned a number of names during the interview today and for full disclosure, I am not a shareholder in any of them.

My guest on the show today is Paul Cerro, CIO of Cedar Grove Capital Management. Paul was recently on Andrew Walker's Yet Another Value Podcast having a conversation about Red Cat Holdings $RCAT - a company we actually interviewed, now way back in the day, in 2019 when they were still on the Pink Sheets. He did an awesome job on the show, and invited him on today to learn more about his investing philosophy, strategy and why it's not necessarily bottom fishing when looking at MicroCaps.

My guest on the show today is Nick Blitterswyk, CEO of UGE International. On May 29, 2024, UGE announced an arrangement agreement for going private transaction with NOVA Infrastructure Fund for an all-cash consideration of C$2.00 per common share, a 270% premium to the closing price of the common shares on May 28, 2024. The company officially closed the planned take-private transaction on August 15, 2024. Today's interview has a few factors at play here:
1. We've done quite a few interviews recently here, i.e., with Mathieu Martin and Paul Andreola, about how M&A has been hot, particularly in Canada, for the last 12-18 months, with no signs of slowing down.
2. I've known Nick now for almost 10 years, having first interviewed him back in 2015, and have covered the UGE journey from beginning to now conclusion of their life as a public company. So, I wanted to share with you all a conversation about Nick's experience as a MicroCap public company CEO, what it means to run a MicroCap public company, what happened and why now was the time to go forward with the transaction to go private, lessons learned, insights to pass on about his experience being a MicroCap CEO and more! Now that the deal has officially closed, I really appreciated Nick's candor and hopefully a lot can be gleaned from this episode that the entire MicroCap space can learn from, as well as a glimpse behind the thought process when faced with the prospect of staying public vs. being acquired/going private.

My guest on the show today is Jason Buck, CIO of Mutiny Funds. I met Jason at Ian Cassel's MicroCapClub Leadership Summit in Idaho in a classic random, sitting in the back of the presentation conversation, happened to be sitting next to each other, reason why we go to these events-type interaction that ultimately leads to a podcast invite. We cover a ton, but mostly digging into Jason's background and how it inspired the best named investing strategy out there, the Cockroach Strategy.

My guest on the show today is James Emanuel, Author of “Fabric of Success” and Managing Partner at Rock & Turner Investment Company. Quick synopsis of James' book: most businesses are mediocre at best, but a small percentage stand out as exceptional. One thing that distinguishes one type from the other - the management. "Fabric of Success" unravels the golden threads that run through all businesses, like: Apple, Southwest Airlines and more! In our conversation, James and I discuss these "Golden Threads", how "Fabric of Success" is different from similar books like "Intelligent Fanatics" or "Outsiders", and information that was a surprise for him when doing his research. "Fabric of Success" is available for purchase on Amazon.
