    Back to School with Chris Begg! - [Joys of Compounding, EP.29]
    Aug 25 2025
    We've got just the class to help you get back into that learning machine mode. We're stoked to be joined by our good friend Chris Begg, founder of East Coast Asset Management and adjunct Associate Professor at the Helibrunn Center for Graham and Dodd investing at Columbia Business School. He teaches security analysis, perhaps the most legendary investing course in higher education. In today's class, we offer some historical context on the legacy of the adjunct investing professor, addressing why the practitioner teacher has played such a formative role for so many of the world's greatest investors. We also share our own teaching journey and the curriculum and guests that have helped make our respective classes so impactful. We even include a preview of our brand new class at Notre Dame, Investing in the Good Life, which is in partnership with the Shedi Family Program in Economy, Enterprise, and Society, and the College of Arts and Letters. Please enjoy our Back to School Special with our friend and the dawn of compression, Chris Begg.

  • Will Thorndike - Lessons from the Eternal Outsider - [Joys of Compounding, EP.28]

    Will Thorndike - Lessons from the Eternal Outsider - [Joys of Compounding, EP.28]
    Jun 9 2025
     Our teacher today is Will Thorndike, co-founder of Compounding Labs and author of the acclaimed book, “The Outsiders.” In our opinion, Will has emerged as one of the most influential and innovative investor minds of the past few decades. And if you care about long-term value creation and the art of capital allocation, chances are you've also benefited from some of his ideas. In 1994, he founded Housatonic Partners, a pioneering private equity firm known for its unusually long holding periods and its leadership in the search fund space alongside his mentor and Stanford professor Irv Grousbeck. Will helped to originate the modern search fund model, backing early career CEOs to buy and grow businesses with long-term horizons and radically aligned incentives. Since then, he has invested in the majority of the top 20 search fund outcomes to date, including Asurion, which he recently profiled on his podcast 50X. We explore Will's full arc from the research that led to “The Outsiders” to his decades as an investor to the new frontier he's now helping to shape. We talk about what makes a business truly enduring, why great leadership and resource allocation remain so misunderstood, and how the right people, structure, and alignment enable companies to compound over time. Please enjoy this class with Will Thorndike.
