In our 22nd episode, we are, again, joined by Kris Kluver to conclude our special two-part episode. Among their beer stories, Scott and Kris Kluver challenge conventional private equity thinking by rejecting the slow-growth “J-curve” model and advocating for rapid ROI and clear, collaborative performance goals post-acquisition.
