"The Trifecta of learning throughout your life is always have great teachers, great partners personally and professionally and great students to teach."
Today's podcast is with Mitch Julis, the legendary co-founder of Canyon Partners. Mitch was the keynote at the Circulus Family Office Summit in the fall of 2025. We talked about his background in the Bronx, how Lowell Milken took a chance on a young lawyer, his years at Drexel under Mike Milken, starting his own firm with his business school roommate Josh Friedman, the debt landscape today, and his fascinating concept of structural alpha. We were all pleased to be a student of Mitch Julis that afternoon, and I know you will enjoy the talk as well.
