I wanted to start off this episode

by thanking Ian Cassel and Mike Schellinger for inviting me to the MicroCap

Leadership Summit. It was a fantastic event, where I met so many of you who

listen to each and every episode. I have to say, it was a huge thrill for me to

be recognized finally for not having the same name as the owner of the New

England Patriots. But in all seriousness, thank you so much for listening and I

was quite humbled by your kind words. If you like what you hear, I ask that you

leave a review on iTunes so that more investors can learn about the world of

MicroCap stocks.

Now, back to business - for this

episode of Planet MicroCap, I spoke with Sean Iddings, Co-Author of the book,

“Intelligent Fanatics Project.” Sean co-wrote the book with my Episode 1 guest,

Ian Cassel, and its purpose is to show how great leaders build sustainable

businesses. Why is this important and how does it correlate to MicroCap

investing? In almost every episode, we discuss the importance of management and

the CEO; these are the teams and individuals that we are betting on. The

“Intelligent Fanatics Project” highlights 8 managers who have turned small

businesses into very large ones. As Ian says in the preface to the book, “All

great companies started as small companies, and intelligent fanatics founded

most great companies.”

The goal for this interview is to learn

about “Intelligent Fanatics”, look for the common elements that these leaders

have, and what we can learn from them to become better MicroCap investors,

business people and entrepreneurs.
