Offshoot: The Fident Capital Podcast

Offshoot is a passion project that stems, quite naturally, from my years of experience at Fident Capital. One of the best aspects of the gig is interacting with brilliant people on both the operator/borrower and investor/lender sides of transactions. I love the diversity of their viewpoints and experiencing the horsepower that’s behind their performance. I aim to give these experts a venue to share their knowledge and experience, build relationships, foster connections, and support real estate entrepreneurs. We talk shop on real estate and finance, and we talk personal performance, delving into daily routines, habits, and beliefs that underpin these individuals. I hope you enjoy the conversations.

    Jack Cohen: In the real estate industry for all the crazy people.

    Welcome to episode 29 of Offshoot. My guest today is Jack Cohen, a Managing Director of ArrowMark Partners, a Denver-based investment platform, and the founder of Dark Knight Ventures, Jack’s business consultancy, or “mentor capitalist” firm focused on helping smart, creative, salespeople be more successful. For Jack, it is a platform to teach and give away the things he’s learned on his journey as an intermediary, producer, principal, investor and consultant. Jack’s main gig, if you will, was in my line of work. He took a single office mortgage banking business, Cohen Financial, from $200MM of annual loan production to 25 offices with $6B of annual production, and a loan servicing portfolio of over $30MM before a successful exit. Since then, he’s gotten on to a myriad of board and advisory positions while filling executive roles at some top-flight finance shops. I heard Jack speak about 6 months ago and immediately knew I wanted to get to know him and perhaps get him on the podcast. I started by reading his book, was able to sit with him on a ski trip, and then again when he was in San Diego. Jack’s the real deal. He’s hungry, he’s curious, he’s smart, he’s hard working, and he’s figured things out the old-fashioned way. He’s done the work and made the mistakes. This is one of those podcasts that could have been twice as long. However, even in this short hour and a half, Jack drops a ton of knowledge and wisdom which is applicable across a wide swath of the industry.
