815 independent sponsor (“IS”) deals analyzed. The authors found that IS deals have a similar risk profile to traditional PE deals, with greater upside.

The first large-sample study on IS deal performance just dropped from the Institute for Private Capital & the SBIA.🧵

Good morning. 49 years ago today, The Grateful Dead played a legendary set at Pembroke Pines that culminated with some of Jerry’s finest soloing on an "Estimated Prophet"> "Eyes of the World"> "Wharf Rat">"Terrapin Station">"Morning Dew" run for the ages… Highly suggest.🔥

dear community notes - i am right and you are wrong
1) payroll tax goes to the federal government
2) a company that has accrued NOLs does not owe tax - the implication that they are dodging something is confiscatory

in summation, eat shit and die

In the darkest hour of my life, when everything felt stripped of color and consequence, the Grateful Dead found me.

I didn’t go looking for them. I wasn’t searching for enlightenment or salvation. I was just trying to get through the days without feeling the weight of everything pressing down on my chest. Life had narrowed into something small and joyless, a routine of endurance rather than living. And then, almost by accident, I heard them, not as background music, but as an invitation.

The Grateful Dead didn’t offer easy answers or tidy resolutions. What they offered was permission. Permission to feel everything at once, grief and gratitude, longing and laughter, confusion and wonder. Their music wandered the way I felt inside, unpolished, exploratory, unafraid of getting lost. In those long, meandering jams, I realized that being lost wasn’t a failure. Sometimes it was the point.

There was something deeply human in the way they played. Notes bent and frayed, songs dissolved and reassembled themselves, mistakes became moments of grace. It reminded me that life didn’t need to be perfect to be meaningful. It just needed to be honest. When Jerry sang about broken dreams and strange highways, it felt less like a performance and more like someone sitting beside me, saying, I’ve been here too.

Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the world began to open back up. Their songs taught me to listen again, to sunsets, to strangers, to the quiet hope hiding inside even the hardest days. Beauty, I learned, isn’t always loud or triumphant. Sometimes it’s subtle, fleeting, and fragile, like a melody that only exists once and is never played the same way again.

The Grateful Dead showed me that life is less about control and more about surrendering to the flow. You don’t dominate the current. You ride it. You trust that even when the path bends unexpectedly, it’s still taking you somewhere worth going. That realization didn’t fix everything, but it gave me something better, perspective.

In my darkest hour, they didn’t pull me out of the darkness. They taught me how to see in it. They showed me that joy can coexist with pain, that meaning can be found in the mess, and that there is profound beauty in simply being here, still listening, still moving forward.

Once in a while, you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Thank you for everything, Bob.
