Episode 1: Beyond the Deal — The David Ebrahimzadeh Perspective

In the world of investing, attention often goes to outcomes. The headline deal. The closing number. The final return. But inspired by the career of David Ebrahimzadeh, success is understood differently. Because real investment performance is not accidental. It is engineered. This episode explores the first core principle reflected in Ebrahimzadeh’s approach: think beyond the deal — build systems, structure risk, and play the long game.
