Before we get going, here's a bit where I remind you that nothing we discussed should

be considered as investment advice.

This conversation is for informational and hopefully entertainment purposes only.

So while we hope you find it both informative and entertaining, please do your own research

or speak to a financial advisor before putting a dime of your money into these crazy markets.

You're about to listen to a special preview edition of the Grant Williams Podcast featuring

my very special guest, Brendan Ballot.

Brendan is a federal prosecutor and has served as a special counsel for private equity

in the Justice Department's anti-trust division.

He graduated from Columbia and Stanford and he has the unenviable task of taking on private

equity in a world where they are just so, so dominant.

Brendan's book Plunder, Private Equity's plan to pillage America, goes and sell the second

of May and this conversation is a little taste of what can be found inside the book and

I have one found it and immensely enjoyable and deeply fascinating conversation.

Every episode of the Grant Williams Podcast including the end game, The Super Terrific

Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, this week in Doom and shifts happen is available to

copper and silver to your subscribers at my website grant-williams.com.

Copper to your subscribers could access to all the podcasts, while members of the silver

tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletter things that make you go, hmm, so if

you enjoy what you hear on the show and you want more high quality content like it, then
