  In Episode 47 of the Emerging Manager Growth Show, Gui Costin and Tim Dolan break down how emerging managers can do more with less. They make the case for consistent cold outreach to RIAs and family offices, explain how a single email serves as both a meeting request and a marketing touchpoint, and map out the emerging manager and consultant landscape, from must-hit EM programs like Xponance to larger global consultants such as Meketa, Mercer, and StepStone. They also cover the leverage of quarterly webinars for building brand awareness and close with why disciplined CRM habits are essential for scaling a young firm.
