## Resource

After more than 400 conversations with investors, founders, CIOs, and capital allocators managing over $10 trillion, the tables finally turn. In this special episode, Curtis Pierce, Co-Founder of Weisburd Pierce and the How I Invest podcast, interviews host David Weisburd about the biggest ideas that have permanently changed his thinking. David argues that the greatest compounding force isn't capital. It's relationships, reputation, access to information, and the ability to surround yourself with excellence early in your career. From venture capital and family offices to LP-GP relationships and organizational culture, he shares the principles shaping how Weisburd Pierce invests and builds enduring partnerships.
