Jorinfeld: Almost everything i learn is from smart friends i have met along the way. My guest is taylor pearson, co founder of the mutiny fund to build more robust, anti fragile portfolios after the global financial crisis. Taylor has also taught me a lot about publishing books. He's an excellent marketer and great investor. I think you'll hear some ideas in here that you have never heard anyone say before. And that's that's what it's all i've learned a ton from taylor.
