  • #14 Noel Bagwell | The Intersection Between Religion & The Law

    Noel Bagwell is a man of many hats. He is the president of ExecutiveLP and the host of the Profit From Legal Podcast.

    This podcast was a touch different to the usual, where instead of a free-wheeling discussion about Noel and his interests I instead ask him 4 very targeted and specific questions. I am really happy with how the episode turned out and hope you enjoy it as well.

  • #10 Alex Marcon | China's Questionable Economy & Who Will Be The Next Super Power?

    Alex Marcon returns after his earlier interview (2020) explaining his Covid-19 portfolio - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkzL9BxQ9sI

    πŸŽ™οΈ Listen to this on youtube as well: https://youtu.be/RzQ6MOoor6g

    Alex has some really interesting insights into just what the hell is going on at the moment. He does not get too distracted by the news and is rather just compounding his knowledge and money every day in the financial markets.

    Alex has some great thoughts about China and also helps me understand better what infinite stimulus means for USA, the world and how it will cause the gradual but nonetheless inevitable shift of geopolitical power.
