Episode Building a Berkshire for the Middle Market – Tracy Britt Cool (EP.521)
My guest on today's show is Tracy Britt Cool, co-founder of Kanbrick, a long-term investment partnership that provides owners of family-owned, midsized businesses with a differentiated option from traditional private equity. Tracy launched the business after spending ten years at Berkshire Hathaway as one of Warren Buffett's few deputies. She started out of business school as a financial assistant to Buffett, served as Chair of several Berkshire portfolio companies, and later became CEO of Pampered Chef. Our conversation covers Tracy's journey, including lessons from Buffett and the value of operating experience. We turn to the application of those lessons at Kanbrick across its strategy, sourcing, deal dynamics, operational improvements, and long-term holding periods, all supported by the firm's creation of a community of 4,000 executives who share best practices in hiring, operations, excellence, and growth.
