Show Notes:

The Allen & Co story hasn't been fully told yet - until now. To understand this secretive merchant bank, we need to start with its founder Charlie Allen. In this episode, we'll explore how Charlie Allen built Allen & Co and uncover the key moves that made the merchant bank so successful in the mid-1900s, setting the stage for his nephew Herb Jr to take the reins and transform it into what it is today.
