How Billion-Dollar Investors Find Blue Ocean Deals – The Entrepreneur DNA

“In this episode, I sat down with Peter Sack, CEO of Chicago Atlantic, a private credit powerhouse specializing in high-yield, alternative investments that most traditional institutions avoid. We went deep into the cannabis industry, why it’s misunderstood, and how Peter’s firm uses strategic lending to achieve equity-like returns while minimizing risk. He also broke down what real “downside protection” looks like and why being a focused expert in a niche beats dabbling in saturated markets. Whether you’re an operator seeking growth capital or an investor looking for alpha, this episode is a masterclass in unconventional wealth building.” – Justin Colby
