  • At the Intersection of Purpose and Profit, with Garrison Jones

    At the Intersection of Purpose and Profit, with Garrison Jones
    Mar 30 2026
    How do we find opportunities where others are not finding them and how can we create an investment strategy where others have not found the value?" That question drives Garrison Jones, founder and CEO of Wailes Capital, a private equity firm focused on people-first businesses across B2B software, education, and healthcare. Garrison reflects on how he has crafted a career “at the intersection of purpose and profit,” and McGuireWoods partners and hosts Abdul Lediju and Dan Howell congratulate him for the newest signpost on that intersection: WCM Holdings, a tech-enabled nonprofit fundraising and administrative software and services platform. Tune in for Garrison’s candid insights about why you should build a success ecosystem before taking the leap, why fundraising is as much about who's involved as what you're pitching, and how resilience and mentorship can make all the difference in your career.Connect and Learn More☑️ Garrison Jones | LinkedIn☑️ Wailes Capital on LinkedIn☑️ Abdul Lediju | LinkedIn☑️ Dan Howell | LinkedIn☑️ McGuireWoods | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | X | YouTube☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music This podcast was recorded and is being made available by McGuireWoods for informational purposes only.

  • Right Deal, Right Buyer, Right Fit: The Ernie Lyles Playbook

    Right Deal, Right Buyer, Right Fit: The Ernie Lyles Playbook
    Jan 20 2026
    Growing up in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, Ernie Lyles found his Wall Street inspiration when he watched the news one day to see “this Black man on the golf course just hanging out with the president.” It turned out to be Vernon Jordan, then an advisor to President Bill Clinton. That inspiration propelled Ernie through Howard University School of Law and onto an Amtrak train to New York, where he met an HR executive in banking over coffee. Today, as founder and CEO of HiGro Group, Ernie has completed 15 to 20 acquisitions across five platforms over 10 years. In this conversation with McGuireWoods hosts Abdul Lediju and Dan Howell, Ernie shares his investment philosophy built on a three-legged stool: right deal, right buyer, right fit.Connect and Learn More☑️ Ernie Lyles | LinkedIn☑️ HiGro Group | LinkedIn☑️ Abdul Lediju | LinkedIn☑️ Dan Howell | LinkedIn☑️ McGuireWoods | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | X | YouTube☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music This podcast was recorded and is being made available by McGuireWoods for informational purposes only.
