Ep. 205: Engineering Excellence: Danny Gould on Quality Deals, Investor Discipline, and Winning in Noisy Markets
Description
In this episode of The Jay Young Show, Jay kicks things off with key updates from the oil and gas sector, continued strength in Texas drilling, steady U.S. demand, upward winter price pressure, and a tightening natural gas market driven by rising LNG export capacity. It’s a strong setup for operators and investors heading into the colder months.
Then, Jay welcomes a powerhouse guest: Danny Gould, founder and CEO of Gould Capital. From Stanford pre-med to building one of the top-performing real estate teams in Silicon Valley, to overseeing $300M in hospitality assets, to now leading a private equity firm focused on quality over quantity, Danny breaks down how he engineered a career defined by discipline, precision, and elite execution.
They dive into investor psychology, deal-filtering frameworks, risk discipline, legacy-building investment strategy, and how to find real signals in a world overflowing with noise. If you want a straight-talk playbook on becoming a sharper, more intentional investor, this episode delivers.
Jay and Danny wrap with the Weekly Five: Word of the Week, Bible Verse, and what they’re reading, watching, and listening to.
