MY NEWSLETTER - https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeJoin me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Sean O'Dowd (https://x.com/SeanODowd). In this episode, I sit down with Sean to discuss his transition from consulting at BCG to launching Scholastic Capital, a real estate fund that targets homes in high-end school districts. We explore how he used the Catalant platform to scale his independent consulting income to over $500,000 a year by acting as a versatile "athlete" for private equity firms. Sean shares the gutsy move of leaving that high salary for zero income to build a professional leadership team and why he views consulting as the perfect "business training wheels".We also dive into his "underrated" use of Twitter as a powerful fundraising engine and a way to recruit elite vendors and investors. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in operations, asset management, and the logistics of a portfolio roll-up. Enjoy the conversation!Questions This Episode Answers:1.
