In the final Fund Fanatics episode of 2024, Jeff Maier and Scott Aleali sit down with Rob Konrad—former Miami Dolphins fullback and now Managing Partner at Alterna Equity Partners—for a powerful conversation on leadership, resilience and building a successful private equity firm. Rob shares the inspiration behind launching Alterna, how lessons from the locker room translate to the boardroom, and why “team” is everything when partnering with family-owned businesses. He also revisits the legendary #44 legacy at Syracuse, his near death boating accident and miraculous 16-hour swim to shore, and weighs in on the current state of the Dolphins—including his Super Bowl predictions.
