You know what I love to start off with and I’ve listened to several interviews, you also talk about a lot about giving value first. So I love to hear your philosophy because people think, well, you know, breaking How did you break into this world of family offices?
Ron Diamond 2:33
Admit serendipitous. So, um, my background, I started, I graduated from Northwestern, I’ve worked at Drexel Burnham. When Drexel Burnham existed and after two years, they imploded. And I’m in the room with people in their 60s and 70s and literally met their weeping, many of them lost all their money. And my takeaway from that was, I would always be loyal to people. But I would never be loyal to a company. Because if that could happen to Drexel, it can happen to anybody. So I came back to Chicago started a hedge fund ran about 250 million for 10 years sold, it took some time off and started investing. So I got into the family office world, very serendipitous it with the hedge fund. They didn’t call them family offices, they would call them family offices today, they used to call them rich people. So they’re a bunch of rich people were called family offices. And that’s kind of how I got into the space. So after I sold my company, I started making some investments. And I figured if I put in a little bit, and I could get other people to invest more, I’ll get better deal flow and execution. So that’s basically what I started to do. And that’s how I got into the business.
