Courage Over Convention episodes

  • When There's Blood in the Streets...Something Already Happened
    Having an investment SYSTEM means having an overarching portfolio construction AND (just as important) a rebalancing regimen from which one never strays. Having such a system is critical in times like this, where correlations are rising across all asset classes. We may be in Neil Howe and William Strauss' "Fourth Turning," but optimism is warranted, as my friend Richard Brennan noted. Tenacious optimism, from my perspective, is the only path forward - regardless of the exogenous events in one's life. From the standpoint of a portfolio-construction enthusiast, it has a superior upside/downside capture ratio to pessimism!

  • A Crash is Coming - Will it be Merely Economic or Social (and then Economic)?

    This is the first episode of a three or four-part series discussing the futility of seeking a balance between two powerful yet diametrically opposed American ideals. Without a miracle (which I discuss in the third episode), the strain on our societal fabric will continue to increase exponentially, until things are no longer tenable.

  • Cannabis Industry: Tenacity Overcomes Any Other Competitive Force
    The odds did not always seem to be in this entrepreneur's favor - but he felt as if they were. Why? He knew he would work hard and draw the attention of influencers in a top-heavy, fragmented business. He was impervious to fears about "the stigma" of working in the industry, too. After all, it helps people and is profitable.

  • The Cannabis Industry and Investment Opportunities
    This is part 1 of a suite I plan to do covering the cannabis industry, and I couldn't have asked for a better guest. Mike Cardozo is a Cannabis Entrepreneur and Co-Founder/CEO of Chesapeake Alternatives. He is also CEO of Karuna Ventures & Cardozo Strategies LLC.
    Mike's knowledge of the industry is shockingly expansive, and his commitment to shedding light on the myriad positive attributes of cannabis is inspiring.
    Chesapeake Alternatives became Maryland's first operational Medical Cannabis Processor in 2017 and opened one of the first dispensaries in the state on December 2, 2017. Green Thumb Industries eventually acquired Mike's vertically integrated operation. 
    Mike has a particular passion for chipping away at resistance to the usage of cannabis for medicinal purposes.
    He is a great friend and an old high school classmate of mine - and I'm proud to say he has carved out a substantial niche in a highly competitive, rapidly developing industry. 
    Perhaps the most impressive and intriguing part of our discussion surrounds Mike's view of the cannabis industry as a potential launching pad for propagating more equitable corporate behavior around gender, race, veteran status, etc.
    Here are some links to talks Mike has delivered. Each is captivating, and I strongly encourage viewing them:
    University of MD Talk
    Cardozo Talks Cannabis (1/2)

  • Woodside's Readings: Critical Yet Oft-Ignored Facts in Portfolio Management

    The podcast works, but this topic was best handled in video format. I recommend listening at 1.2x speed (I speak slowly).
