It's Not About the Money (Capital Allocators, EP.45)

Published: March 26, 2018, 9:30 a.m.

Last fall, I sat down with a fellow former hedge fund of funds professional Khe Hy, who left the business a few years ago and has developed a fascinating media platform around introspection, self-awareness, and self-development. Certainly a set of characteristics we don\\u2019t normally associate with folks in the asset management business.

Khe interviewed me about my career path and some lessons I\\u2019ve learned about people, business, and life. With his permission, I am sharing the conversation to allow you to learn more about the perspective that I bring to the conversations on Capital Allocators.

If you like the subject matter, I\\u2019d encourage you to check out Khe\\u2019s podcast, entitled Rad Awakenings, available on iTunes or his website, radreads.co.
