In this episode, Daniel Muzquiz recounts the 20-year journey that has taken him from oil rigs in Texas to launching three successful search funds, outlining his transformation from mechanical engineer to serial search fund entrepreneur. Daniel highlights the importance of a good partner and acquisition framework while discussing his three successful acquisitions, culminating in his most recent acquisition: The Predictive Index.
Advice from Daniel:
“Find something you like, love the fundamentals, and then go add value. Focus on adding value, don't focus on trying to make money. Create value in the world."
“And the most important thing, get good people around you, not just good at executing but good people. There's no substitute for enjoying working with talented people”.
