Speaking to Legends
At 22 I graduated from university and decided to set up a crypto hedge fund. I learned everything by doing and after years of 100-hour weeks, progress started to happen. Fast forward, I am a Forbes 30 Under 30 lister, running one of the largest crypto hedge funds in the world and a frequent speaker at top conferences. I have been featured in Bloomberg, Forbes, and many other leading news media outlets. In this podcast, I speak with some of the world's most successful hedge fund managers, investors, and entrepreneurs. We discuss their journey to success, the lessons they've learned along the way, and the mindset they use to achieve greatness.
