Tired of the "buy-and-hold and hope" investing strategy? In this episode of TAGLine, we sit down with Dr. Adam Link, founder of Fireweed Capital, for a candid talk about how he’s flipping passive investing on its head.

Dr. Link shares his unique journey from decades in cybersecurity and data science to becoming an SEC-registered financial advisor. Discover the active risk management philosophy that helps his clients avoid catastrophic market drawdowns. Think of it as taking the exit ramp before the freeway accident.

He breaks down Fireweed Capital's "retail hedge fund" model, what it takes to be a financial pro (hint: it involves passion and a dispassionate view of your money), and his unexpectedly bullish view on how AI and crowdfunding are about to change the game for small businesses and everyday investors. This is a must-listen for anyone who worries when their portfolio drops.
