When Bud Moore asked Jack Sadden to leave his perfectly good paying job to join him in launching a new venture, Valesco, it came as no surprise to many.

The two businessmen had talked about owning and operating their own business for years. And, that discussion lead to their first investment, one of the largest US independent fabricators of rebar where Jack had been CFO. 

Since 1993, Valesco has invested in private and family-owned businesses and is trusted by lower and middle-market businesses in a variety of industries.

Jack's background in hands-on operating management, professional consultancy, mergers & acquisitions, corporate finance and working with business greats such as Arthur Young (Ernst & Young) has provided him with a lifetime of lessons on leadership and building something great.

Jack sat down with host Roger Bissell to share some of those discoveries in the hopes that they help you build something great too.
