In this fun and insightful conversation we talk to Matt Reustle. Matt was a credit analyst and then equity analyst at Goldman Sachs in New York. He later worked on the buy-side and then moved to become Colossus's CEO, which is the podcast group responsible for Business Breakdowns and Invest Like The Best.
We talk about what people misunderstand about the Sell-side, why most investors fail with management meetings, what he learned from 200+ business breakdowns, and a few investing successes, as well as failures. We hope you enjoy!

Our memo on issues with the Sell-side can be read here.
