Bloomberg Radio transcript

January 18, 2024

 

1.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): We could probably spend a whole segment with our next guest just talking about all the things that he has done; the companies he has created and why he’s not stopping. He’s got a new venture that was announced just last year. And, oh, he’s out with a new book, published this past week. With us and back with us is Brad Jacobs, founder and chairman of the freight services provider XPO. Customers—a broad swath of, kind of, the global economy, if you will; some of the world’s largest. So, Boeing, IKEA, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Disney, Amazon, Walmart, so many more—automakers, as well.

 

2.He has started five companies, Brad has. He’s currently, also, co-founder of United Rentals, former chair of United Waste—another company he started. And I think you might all recall that last Fall, when we had him on, we reminded him and everyone that he has been described as “a numbers guy, a serial entrepreneur”.

 

3.So, it is delighted— We are delighted to have him back. His new book is called How to Make a Few Billion Dollars. He’s back with us in our Bloomberg Interactive Brokers studio. I’m rushing, because I do want to get you here. Hello, welcome back, congratulations.

 

4.Brad Jacobs: Hello. Thank you and great to be here.

 

5.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): It’s great to have you here. How are you? How does it feel to have this done? And how are you feeling more broadly about, kind of, the world at large? There’s a lot going on already in 2024.

 

  6. Brad Jacobs: Always is. If you look at any year for the last 50 years, there’s always stuff going on.

 

7.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Is that how you feel as a leader?

 

8.Brad Jacobs: I do.

 

9.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Even wars, and people talk about the hot spots overseas and maybe this being a third world war, if I go kind of to the extreme. You’re just saying, “It’s another year. We have a lot being thrown at us.”

 

10.Brad Jacobs: Yeah. Yeah. And every year it seems like, “Whoa, this year might be a little bit different.” Or, “We’re close to a nuclear war.” You know, we were always this close to a nuclear war. That’s not a new thing.

 

11.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Doesn’t change you in terms of business investment, what you want to do? You just move ahead?

 

12.Brad Jacobs: Yes. I try to find business plans that are not dependent on calling the macro correctly. As long as I don’t get in at the rock bottom of the cycle or the top of the cycle, I’m okay.

 

13.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): Where are we in the cycle?

 

14.Brad Jacobs: I think we’ve started to see the economy slowing down, for sure, here and in Europe. I think it’s going to continue to slow down. And, depending on what the Fed does, it could start picking up. But it depends on what the Fed does.

 

15.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Is that more an issue of what the Fed does versus the wars overseas. We’re looking at the Red Sea and ships not being able to go through. We’re worried about, does the supply chain already have some problems in it, and maybe it even gets worse? Is the Fed more important, and really global central banks?

 

1

 

 

16.Brad Jacobs: The Fed is more important than what the Houthis are doing. The Houthis are driving— The Houthis, if you want to look at it in economic terms, are inflationary, because they’re driving up shipping costs, which will be passed along to consumers in the end. But the Fed is the overall stimulator or slower-downer of the economy.

 

17.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): So, they’re more important. Yeah.

 

18.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): Well, there is a big debate that we talk about every day: Will they or won’t they, in March, cut rates? You say the economy is dependent on what the Fed does. What do you think the Fed should do?

 

19.Brad Jacobs: I think the Fed should keep looking at the data and ignore everything else and go by the data. If inflation cools down more, yeah, then it may make sense to start lowering rates. If inflation continues to rear its ugly head, then it’s not the time to be lowering rates.

 

20.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): Are you seeing in your various businesses—what you’re hearing from colleagues, what you’re hearing from associates—is inflation rearing its ugly head again? Or does the Fed have this tamed?

 

21.Brad Jacobs: It’s more slowing down and having slowed down than inflation coming back. So, I look at wages a lot, since that’s a big part of all of our businesses. Wage growth has slowed. Input costs are still going up, but they’ve slowed. Rents, leases have gone up, but they’re going up slower. So, it does feel it’s slowed down quite a bit.

 

22.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Brad, are you holding onto workers?

 

23.Brad Jacobs: Yeah, much more than— Well, first of all, we couldn’t even find workers a couple of years ago.

 

24.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Right, but I’m just curious: Are you still worried about losing someone and not being able to, or letting somebody go, if you’re starting to see some softness? Would you rather hold onto a worker at this point?

 

25.Brad Jacobs: Well, you always want to hold onto your talent. In the book, I talk all about that.

 

26.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): You do talk about this.

 

27.Brad Jacobs: Your number one assets are your people, and you’ve got to make sure you’ve got A+—

 

28.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): But you know what I’m saying. When you run a publicly held company and if you’re worried about any kind of slow-down, you’ve got to start to look at your costs again.

 

29.Brad Jacobs: You should be looking at your costs in every part of the cycle. You should be managing your costs intelligently.

 

30.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Alright, so, having said that, when you think about capital expenditures, you’re comfortable to move ahead?

 

2

 

 

31.Brad Jacobs: Yeah, absolutely. I’m about to start a new company.

 

32.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): You have started a new company.

 

33.Brad Jacobs: Yeah. Well, almost.

 

34.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Almost. Well, where are you in that? Help us out with that, because we’ve talked about it with you last year. We’re talking about QXO.

 

35.Brad Jacobs: Right.

 

36.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Tell us about where you are. And you’re looking to buy businesses, from what I understand, it’s all about, kind of, moving businesses, or materials, around in North America. So, where are you in the process?

 

37.Brad Jacobs: North American and Europe.

 

38.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): And Europe.

 

39.Brad Jacobs: So, I did exactly what I said I was going to do when I saw you last time. So, we’ve agreed to put a $1 billion PIPE, an equity investment, into a very small-cap company. We’re then going to spin that company back to its legacy owners, give them a $2.5 million dividend, give them a small, less than 0.5% equity ownership in our new company, QXO. And we’ll have a pure-play called QXO, which will consolidate the $800 billion building products distribution industry.

 

40.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): So, where are you in the process?

 

41.Brad Jacobs: We’re a couple months or so away from finishing that, depending on various approvals we have to get from the SEC and so forth, and then we’ll be off to the races.

 

42.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): So, you haven’t acquired anything yet?

 

43.Brad Jacobs: Correct.

 

44.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): But do you have, like, a list that you’re ready to go?

 

45.Brad Jacobs: Oh yeah, we’re talking to lots of companies. We have a lot of discussions going on.

 

46.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Privately held, I’m assuming? Smaller players? Mid-size players?

 

47.Brad Jacobs: Well, for right now, because our budget is only $1 billion, they’re all private.

 

48.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): How are you going to make 1 + 1 = 3 with these acquisitions? Like, how will you bring operational efficiency?

 

49.Brad Jacobs: I’m going to follow the same exact playbook that I’ve done for the last few decades. I’m going to buy companies that are good companies but can be better. I’m going to buy companies when you put them together you find synergies, particularly in procurement, which is the biggest line item in building products distribution. I’m going to apply technology to be the most tech-forward building products distributor in the world. And I’m going to do all that together and get economies of scale as we get bigger and bigger and bigger. And I’ve put the numbers out there: I expect to be at at least $1 billion revenue run-rate after year one, at least a $5 billion revenue run-rate—

 

50.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): So you’re sticking to that?

 

3

 

 

51.Brad Jacobs: Absolutely. And most importantly, tens of billions of dollars of revenue over the decade.

 

52.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Why is this such a smart bet right now, distributing building materials in North America and Europe, you said specifically? What’s the trend that you are seeing? Is it infrastructure? What is it?

 

53.Brad Jacobs: Long term, there are three drivers. In residential construction, houses are old. The average age of a house is over 40 years, which is old. And there’s repair and remodeling going on and there’s more construction that will be driven by that. On the non-residential construction, they’re even older. Non-residential buildings are over 50 years old, on average. On the infrastructure, there’s about $2 trillion of infrastructures spend that needs to be done over the next 20 years. So, there’s a lot of activity that has to happen here.

 

54.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): Why not just relax?

 

55.Brad Jacobs: I’m relaxed. Do I not look relaxed? Look at this face: Am I not relaxed? [laughter]

 

56.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): I mean, what motivates you to keep doing this. You’ve been successful many times over and over again.

 

57.Brad Jacobs: I love the job. I’ve been a CEO since I’ve been 23 years old. It’s just a fantastic job. You get to be very creative. You get to think big. You get to dream these large, large business plans. You get to recruit people you love to work with. You design compensation programs so everybody’s in it to win it. And you come to work every day and you just knock down a list and make it happen. And you create huge amounts of money, not just for the employees but for the shareholders. You know, our companies over the years have really excelled at shareholder value creation. If you look at XPO, our initial investors made 32x their money. If you look at United Rentals, we started at $3.50 a share; today it’s over $550 a share. So, a lot of value’s been created for a lot of people. And I just love that. I take a lot of pride in that.

 

58.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): We’ve just got 30 seconds, then we’ll come back and talk some more, but this value creation of maybe $1 billion, you say, of annual revenue in the first year and then $5 billion within three years, can you do that if there’s any weakness in the global economy or in the US?

 

59.Brad Jacobs: Yeah. I can do this business plan regardless of what happens in the economy. If it’s strong, if it’s weak, if it’s flat—I can still do this business plan.

 

60.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Why?

 

61.Brad Jacobs: Because there are 7,000 distributors to buy in North America, including Canada. There are 13,000 to buy in Europe. A lot of them are owned by private equity, and private equity will have a choice. Private equity can dribble out over a number of years through an IPO and the secondary and so forth at a discount, or they can sell to me on a win-win deal where I can pay them a premium.

 

62.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Alright, sit tight. We’re going to come back and continue with Brad Jacobs, of course. Chairman of XPO. He’s got a new book out, How to Make a Few Billion Dollars.

 

63.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): We’re back live in our Bloomberg Interactive Brokers studio, delighted to still have with us Brad Jacobs, founder and chairman at XPO, currently also a co-founder of United Rentals, former chair of United Waste. He’s also got a new investment vehicle out there that he’s getting ready to make investments in. And he’s got a new book, How to Make a Few Billion Dollars. I’m not quite sure where to start. When you wake up in the morning, what is the first thing you think about?

 

64.Brad Jacobs: The first thing I think about is how to get my head in a good place.

 

65.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Okay.

 

4

 

 

66.Brad Jacobs: Before I start getting into business. How do I center myself?

 

67.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Really?

 

68.Brad Jacobs: Yeah! I try — I do a series of meditation exercises to expand my mind and think about very large areas of space. I try to shrink it into very small – down into atoms. And I have a whole spiritual exercise I do in the morning.

 

69.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): I love that.

 

70.Brad Jacobs: I get in the zone. I like to get in the zone.

 

71.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): Is that different than when you were 23 and you were a CEO?

 

72.Brad Jacobs: A little more now.

 

73.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): Were you doing it then?

 

74.Brad Jacobs: I was doing it then. Yeah.

 

75.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): That’s interesting. These days to hear an executive say that is not that surprising. It’s widely accepted that that is a way to —

 

76.Brad Jacobs: Sure. I was in the closet when I was in my twenties on that.

 

77.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): Okay.

 

78.Brad Jacobs: But we kept the meditation stuff quiet.

 

79.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Seriously?

 

80.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): That’s interesting.

 

5

 

 

81.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Yeah, that is interesting. Why did you start then?

 

82.Brad Jacobs: I started transcendental meditation when I was a teenager in high school. Then I did that for decades, I did that for a long time. Then I started experimenting with other forms of meditation. I studied Milton Erickson, Ericksonian neuro hypnotherapy. I studied psychotherapy, the different mindfulness techniques. The different cognitive therapy techniques. I kind of blended them all together and picked and choosed and made my own thing.

 

83.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): But why?

 

84.Brad Jacobs: Because I think, as I say in the very first chapter, you need to rearrange your brain in order to accomplish big stuff.

 

85.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): But what was the awareness that you had in high school to actually do that? You don’t meet high schoolers that do this.

 

86.Brad Jacobs: I saw a poster of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi up on a screen that said something like, “Life is bliss.” I said, “That’s interesting, I think I’ll go to the lecture.”

 

87.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Do you do yoga, too?

 

88.Brad Jacobs: I do yoga, yeah. Yeah.

 

89.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Yeah, interesting. That is really fascinating. I’m like getting my head around that. Love that.

 

90.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): So, with this book, and I know we’ve talked about it before, I mean, what are you trying to inspire in other people, knowing what you’ve done so far in kind of laying this out. You make it, the title makes it feel like, “Hey, anybody can do this.” I don’t know that anybody can do it. Are you saying anybody can do this?

 

91.Brad Jacobs: It depends what “this” is. I don’t think anybody can make a few billion dollars, mathematically there are only a few people that can do that. But I think anybody can rearrange their brain to think in a different way that’s big, that’s confident, that’s strong, that’s very off the beaten track and accomplish great stuff. That doesn’t have to be making money. That can be all kinds of stuff. That can be just being a great mom or dad. That can be a great artist, it can be a great musician, it can be a great anything. But yes, I think what I’ve shared in the book, are the techniques that have worked for me, in order to attract great people, and to organize those people in a way to accomplish big things. And I think that can be taught.

 

92.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): One of the things I think about, to be fair, we’ll have a lot of leaders in and talk about great people. One of the things I think about is — to be fair, like a lot, we’ll have a lot of leaders in and talk about great people. But what is it that you think really people have to understand? What does that mean? Is it allowing them, like we talked about the Smucker CEO, and that company is allowing people to come to work Tuesday to Thursday every other week?

 

93.Brad Jacobs: That’s not my culture at all.

 

6

 

 

94.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): But what is it to create great people? Like what does that mean? How do you do that?

 

95.Brad Jacobs: You need to think in your mind very clearly who you’re trying to attract. What are the traits and qualities and characteristics that you’re looking for? I know what those are very clearly for me. I look for people who are super smart. They’ve got to be smarter than me. Why do I want to – why do I want to depend on people less smarter than me? I want to depend on people smarter than me. So always try to get people who are hopefully significantly smarter than I am. They may not have this — I bring certain business talents and commercial sense to the table, leadership talents. But in terms of raw IQ, I like smart people. I really, really enjoy that. I want people with grit. I want to be that are hungry, who want to work really hard, who actually like working. Enjoyable. And then I want people who are honest as the day is long. I definitely don’t want people who I’m trying to analyze what do they really mean? I want people who are collegial and collaborative and team players and play well in the sandbox with each other, so that you can create – well, if you’re an ant or you’re a bee, a superorganism! I talk about that in the book. You want to create a culture that’s a super organism, not just a bunch of people, but a collect— a highly integrated group of people.

 

96.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Is there a leader you admire?

 

97.Brad Jacobs: Oh, lots of people.

 

98.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Is there one that you would share?

 

99.Brad Jacobs: I admire Jeff Bezos. I admire, I admire Elon Musk, even though, you know, he has certain traits I don’t admire. But I do admire his ability to think huge.

 

100.Tim Stenovec (Bloomberg): You brought up Elon Musk, so I want to go somewhere that Carol and I go each and every day, which is, some people argue the biggest revolution when it comes to technology right now, and that’s what’s happening with AI. Certainly a lot has changed when it comes to computers and AI over your career. How do you think about harnessing AI, using it in your businesses and even concerns that you might have about the technology?

 

101.Brad Jacobs: I’ve always used technology to my advantage. All my company has been tech forward, right for the very first one. So, when I was in the oil business, way before the internet, our main edge was to have a rudimentary technology system to collect information globally about buyers and sellers of crude oil and refined products. When I was in the waste management business, we were the first ones to pioneer very advanced route optimization software. So the trucks weren’t just randomly driving around, we were efficiently optimize what the routes were going to be. When I was in the construction equipment rental business. One of the first acquisitions we made, we made hundreds of acquisitions, was a company called Wind Systems, which was a way to record where all the equipment is. And we had billions of dollars of equipment. Where everything was at any one point in time, and to predict it and monitor its utilization so that we could replenish the fleet where we needed it, where there was demand. And we’d know where to lower prices or raise prices to pay — depending on demand. XPO was all about technology. One of the first few people I hired was Mario Horik, now the CEO of XPO, who as my CIO. Because the vision was to automate truck brokerage. And fast forward to today, we’ve spun that off as RXO, Drew Wilkerson runs it. And 98% of their orders are either sourced or covered electronically. That was 0% when we started the company. So yeah, I’ve always embraced technology, I think it’s really important to do that.

 

102.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): We only have about 30 or 40 seconds left here, so I’m going to ask you: You say bigger is better in business most of the time, but not always. And I think in a world where we’re always, like, wanting more. We even talk about companies, “Look at this market cap! They’re number one.” Why is this an important concept? And forgive me, Brad, because we only have about 30 seconds.

 

103.Brad Jacobs: So, over the last year, I’ve looked at dozens of industries and hundreds of companies. And I had a check list of everything I wanted: size; growth; fragmentation. One of them was “bigger is better”. That means there are economies of scale. In the case of QXO, the big economy of scale is purchasing power, procurement. Because if you if you buy lots of materials, you’re going to get a cheaper price.

 

104.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): Promise you’ll come back and, as you build out your new business?

 

105.Brad Jacobs: I always like to come on here because it seems like it was one minute.

 

106.Carol Massar (Bloomberg): I agree, I agree. And we learned something new about you, which was really fascinating. Brad Jacobs, thank you so much. Good luck with everything. Found and chairman of XPO. Of course, we’ve talked about his new book, How to Make a Few Billion Dollars. Looking forward already to the future conversations.
