How do the world’s most elite firms transform "human capital" into a measurable competitive advantage?

In this episode, we sit down with Matthew Breitfelder, partner and global head of human capital at Apollo. Managing a sprawling ecosystem of over 70 portfolio companies, Matt has a front-row seat to what drives outperformance in high-stakes environments.

Matt reveals why he views empathy as a rigorous analytical tool, how Apollo uses sports psychology to sharpen its competitive edge and why the "soft stuff" is actually the hardest — and most profitable — part of modern business.

Key highlights include:

• The mental game: why elite investors are adopting the mindfulness and visualization techniques of pro athletes
• Predicting performance: how to distinguish signal from noise in your organization to find growth opportunities
• The "Chess not Checkers" philosophy: a masterclass in coaching for high-performance cultures
