Today, we're going in depth with Greg Brown, the Co-CEO of Caprock, an independent multi-family office serving ultra–high-net-worth families. Before leading Caprock, he built a career as an entrepreneur and investor — experience that now shapes his approach.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How Greg and his team built Caprock from the ground up, bootstrapping without outside capital and taking seven years to reach their first $1B
• How the lessons he previously learned from tech entrepreneurship helped him think about serving ultra–high-net-worth families
• How a CEO thinks about recruiting, techstacks, A.I., and the dealing with pace of change
