## Resource

Throughout 2025, I sat down with CEOs, founders, investors, and leaders across the private equity ecosystem. In every conversation, I asked a question that I have asked since the very first episode of Private Equity Fast Pitch: What's the quote, motto, or what drives you? The answers were telling as there were no slogans or catchy buzzwords. What stood out was a shared seriousness about how success is built over time. Intention. Discipline. Mentorship. Compassion. Consistency. A deep respect for people and for the responsibility that comes with leadership. These are not quotes for social media. They are reference points for leadership. I'm incredibly grateful for these guests time and our impactful conversations. And grateful to be able to bring these voices to the private equity community. The Ninth Annual Quotes and Mottos montage features perspectives from our 2025 guests: Erik Brooks – Founder & Managing Partner, Ethos Capital Action over analysis. Grit, discipline, and winning the next 30 minutes. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-equity-fast-pitch/id1359329939?i=1000684256262 Jeff Aiello – Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Agellus Capital Execution over perfection.
