Cody Shirk is a surfer, investor, and writer/founder of the Explorer Report.

Basically, I want to be like Cody when I grow up.

We spend 90 minutes discussing Cody's wild adventures traveling and investing in Latin America, his trip to Chernobyl to research uranium stocks, and how he thinks about gold, the US dollar, and other commodities.

This was, by far, one of the most fun conversations I've had this year on the podcast.

You're going to love it.

Finally, a big thanks to our sponsors for making this episode happen.

Mitimco

This episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company, also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT. Each year, MITIMCo invests in a handful of new emerging managers who it believes can earn exceptional long-term returns in support of MIT's mission. To help the emerging manager community more broadly, they created ⁠⁠⁠⁠emergingmanagers.org⁠⁠⁠⁠, a website for emerging manager stockpickers.

I highly recommend the site for those looking to start a stock-picking fund or just learning about how others have done it. You'll find essays and interviews by successful emerging managers, service providers used by MIT's own managers, essays MITIMCo has written for emerging managers, and more!
