Mr. James Lavish joins the show to talk career lessons and Bitcoin. James has decades of experience as an institutional investor in hedge funds and private equity. He now refers to himself as a “reformed” hedge fund manager, since he is dedicating his time to foster Bitcoin education and adoption. I highly recommend you check out his weekly newsletter, ‘The Informationist’, where he breaks down current financial topics making them easier to understand, shows why they are important to your life, and describes how you can use them to your advantage. He also is a managing partner in the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, which helps high net-worth investors diversify in the Bitcoin ecosystem of companies. Additionally, he co-founded an all-in-one educational platform built with the intention of empowering individuals to take control of their financial futures, called The Looking Glass. Mike has been completing modules daily and highly recommends this free learning resource. Don’t forget to follow James on Twitter (@JamesLavish) as well, for great macro and Bitcoin insights. Nothing on this podcast is financial advice. It is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
