    #93 | Texas Roadhouse Deep Dive | High Steaks and Sizzling Margins

    In this episode of the TDI Podcast, we are doing a deep dive into a company that breaks almost every rule taught in business school: Texas Roadhouse. How does a restaurant become one of the greatest success stories in casual dining when it refuses to serve lunch during the week, does zero national TV advertising, and requires managers to put up $25,000 before they even start? We explore the inspiring, unconventional journey of founder Kent Taylor, the unique culture that drives their customer loyalty, and the economics behind their free peanuts and fresh-baked bread. From tracking key metrics like Average Unit Volume (AUV) to analyzing the constant threat of fluctuating beef prices, we break down the financials and the core operational strategy. But the biggest question remains: does Texas Roadhouse actually have a sustainable economic moat, or are we just looking at a well-run operation that is one bad CEO away from collapse?

    #91 | Porsche AG Deep Dive | 911 Problems but the Story Ain't One

    Porsche, once the undisputed profit engine of the automotive world, is facing its most serious challenge yet. Following a staggering 92.7% collapse in operating profit, the brand is navigating what analysts call its Nokia Moment, a struggle to reconcile mechanical excellence with a rapidly evolving EV market. In this deep dive, we explore the turbulent history of the silver crest, from its controversial origins and the revolution of the 1990s to the financial derivatives of 2008. We analyze the leadership shift under new CEO Michael Leiters and the bold Strategy 2035 pivot, which sees the brand leaning back into combustion engines to protect its legendary margins.

    #90 | Serial Acquirers, The Long View & Nordic Compounders | Interview w/ Joel Sherwood

    Welcome back to The Dutch Investors podcast. In this episode, we sit down with Joel Sherwood, an American investor who has lived in Sweden for over 20 years. Joel documents his journey on Substack through the Sherwood Investment Letter, focusing heavily on the Nordic markets. We dive deep into the playbook of serial acquirers; businesses whose entire model is based on buying other niche companies and letting the capital compound. Joel unpacks why the Nordic region has become such a hotbed for these long-term, family-owned compounding machines. We also get into the psychology of staying objective when everyone else is panicking. Joel shares his strategy of "running into the burning house" to buy high-quality companies when the market overreacts and sends them to 52-week lows.

    #89 | Chipotle Mexican Grill Deep Dive | A Recipe for Success or Disaster?

    In episode #91, we dive into the business behind the burrito: Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG). We explore how a fine-dining chef accidentally created the fast-casual restaurant category and built a global empire. This deep dive breaks down Chipotle's "Food With Integrity" model, its store-level economics, and the mechanics of the famous burrito flywheel. We also examine the risks of the food industry, looking at the low barriers to entry, limits on pricing power, and what the current stock valuation actually means for potential investors. Is this a durable, protected business model or a fragile chain vulnerable to changing consumer tastes? Join us as we look at the facts and analyze the company from an investor's perspective.
