This episode is sponsored by Better Help.
Is the famed hedge fund Bridgewater Associates operating a cult in plain sight? Or is it just a little bit culty? Journalist and author Rob Copeland joins us for a deep dive into Wall Street\\u2019s seedy underbelly, and the troubling story of Bridgewater\\u2019s founder\\u2014the pseudo philosopher-king Ray Dalio. You\\u2019ll want to read Rob\\u2019s NYT bestseller \\u2018The Fund\\u2019 \\xa0this summer, if you haven\\u2019t already, and then you can decide whether or not you agree with us that Ray Dalio is radiating serious Keith Raniere vibes. Rob joins us to chat about Dalio\\u2019s strange world and the uncanny parallels between the planet\\u2019s largest hedge fund and NXIVM.
