Underwriting Exceptional People: Co-Founder Brandon Wolfe on the We Live to Build Podcast

07/14/2025

We're excited to share Co-Founder Brandon Wolfe's recent appearance on the We Live to Build podcast.

In his conversation with host Sean Weisbrot, Brandon shares how underwriting people—not just financials—is central to how Jordan Partners LLC invests and supports companies. 

He talks about why we believe:

       ✅  Great businesses are built by exceptional people, and identifying high integrity people who are        relentless learners is the most important diligence;

       ✅  Pre-investment work should be about alignment—making sure goals, culture, and values match up—as well as the discipline to respect the "speed bumps" in your investing process;

       ✅  Post-investment is where the real partnership begins: rolling up sleeves on strategy, capital allocation, building teams, and technology.

Other highlights from the episode:

  • How investment partners can help founders sleep at night;
  • The yin & yang of operators and investors;
  • Supporting founders without imposing a "one-size-fits-all" playbook;
  • Why thoughtful, engaged capital can make the difference between plateauing and unlocking real growth.


At Jordan Partners LLC, we don't just invest in companies—we invest in people and the plans they're passionate about delivering. Brandon's discussion is a candid look at how we try to execute that philosophy in every deal.

Give it a listen—and if these ideas resonate, let's talk.
