Episode 40: The Host's Interview
b"We\\u2019re switching things up for today\\u2019s episode in that I\\u2019ll be the one being interviewed. My background certainly isn\\u2019t yet as impressive as any of my guests. However, I thought it might be good to give my listeners a window into the host\\u2019s background and also share some of the insights I\\u2019ve gained from doing the podcast so far. One of my best friends Alberto Riveroll Usabiaga will be hosting today\\u2019s episode and it will flow similarly to other episodes. We\\u2019ll get into my upbringing on the seacoast of New Hampshire, the impact that tennis and martial arts has had on my life, my experience in private equity, and my takeaways so far from the podcast.\\nTimestamps\\n00:02:23 Why did I want to get interviewed?\\n00:04:25 Growing up in New Hampshire\\n00:06:03 Living with my dad\\n00:08:08 Influence of other family members\\n00:11:53 Playing sports and getting into tennis\\n00:16:17 How tennis has influenced who I am today\\n00:17:30 Martial arts and jiu-jitsu\\n00:22:37 Decision to go to Bentley University\\n00:25:55 How Bentley changed my mindset around business\\n00:27:10 Quick thoughts about going to college\\n00:28:50 Initial interest in private equity\\n00:34:43 Getting the job at Equality Asset Management (Equality)\\n00:38:20 Role at Equality\\n00:45:42 Should high stress work environments be tolerated?\\n00:47:43 When did I realize that lifestyle wasn't sustainable for me?\\n00:53:10 Advice for people thinking about going into private equity\\n00:55:20 Leaving Equality\\n01:01:18 Why did I start the podcast\\n01:05:05 Similarities amongst the people that I've interviewed\\n01:07:55 Habits that I've picked up from my podcast guests\\n01:10:46 Sense of privacy with the podcast\\n01:13:57 Sense of responsibility to my listeners\\n01:15:00 My daily routine\\n01:16:30 What does my near future look like?\\n01:17:45 My interest in human performance\\n01:20:00 Some driving forces that stand out to me\\n01:21:45 My driving force"
