Episode 4: Dean Warras and Stacy Peters | Turning Customer Problems Into Products

In this episode of The Growth Seat, host Dhani Jones sits down with Dean Warras, CEO, and Stacy Peters, Chief Commercial Officer, of Veterinary Solutions Holdings (VSH), a Granite Creek portfolio company serving the animal health market. Dean and Stacy discuss VSH’s evolution from a specialized livestock compounding business into a broader animal health platform, including its acquisition of Diamond Animal Health. They share how the company turns customer challenges into practical product solutions, why innovation often starts in the field, and how VSH is expanding into new species and capabilities. The conversation also covers the role of culture, thoughtful pacing, and the importance of knowing when to “go slow to go fast” while scaling a business. Listeners will hear how platform growth requires more than acquisitions: it takes the right people, sharp commercial focus, disciplined execution, and a clear view of where the market is headed.

Episode 1: Sal Calvino | You Don't Climb a Mountain in One Push

In the debut episode of The Growth Seat, Dhani Jones [https://www.granitecreek.com/team/dhani-jones/] sits down with serial entrepreneur and investor Sal Calvino, Founder of Equivu Capital [https://www.equivu.com/], to unpack what it really takes to build, scale, and survive businesses over decades. Sal grew up around airplanes, started his first company at age 26, navigated 9/11, the financial crisis, Covid, and volatile markets, and has built a global workforce of 5,500 people.  In this episode, Sal shares the hard-earned lessons you don’t learn in a classroom — only by being in the seat when the pressure is on. This conversation cuts through theory and gets practical: leadership under stress, calculating risk, building businesses that don’t collapse when challenges arise, and why people — not spreadsheets — ultimately determine outcomes. No playbooks. No shortcuts. Just lessons learned the hard way.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
