Newlin Ventures

Recorded a phenomenal show called “Is the Consumer Weakening?” with Tom Ackmann and Grant Newlin. Tom is the President and owner of Platinum Decking, a Midwest based outdoor living contractor. In just 5 years, Platinum has become a top 5 Trex Deck contractor in the world. Tom knows a thing or two about the consumer and says there’s no sign of a slowdown. Grant is a returning guest to the show and runs Newlin VC, an early stage investor in global startups. Grant is a Duke MBA and spent time in investment banking and management consulting. He was an early investor in Tesla and shares his thoughts on where the company could be headed today. We talk state of the economy, the political environment, and why the best companies continue outperforming the rest. Watch on YouTube, Apple and Spotify. https://lnkd.in/g4vBZbkz
