I provide some long quotes and a brief summary of Preferred Shares Podcast latest episode on Beretta, but you really should listen to the full podcast! bit.ly/46h3Zkw


Big fan of what the Preferred Shares Podcast guys are doing!

The latest Preferred Shares Podcast is an interview with Tim Maxwell, former CEO of GreenEarth Cleaning, a large distributor of silicon-based dry cleaning chemicals. We discuss the long history of professional laundry cleaning, industry headwinds and tailwinds, and a lot more.



Lawrence Hamtil Doug Ott and Devin LaSarre provide the beginning of the untold story of Amphenol $APH They cover the founder Arthur J. Schmitt and the journey of the company from its beginning in 1932, through WWII, through multiple acquisitions, and several times being acquired



This podcast on the history of $APH is a real treat - it helps explain the corporate culture (why are they decentralized/why are they so focused on cost controls) and how vital $APH has been over the past century Lawrence Hamtil - looking forward to the second part



I'm readying the first part of my own history of Amphenol $APH for tomorrow. Building off the recent Preferred Shares Podcast episode, I've got lots more details and anecdotes.
