Episode notes

A lot of the people i know who seem to have a natural talent for investing, particularly when they were younger, had really, really messed up childhoods. They saw rific decision making around them, and that taught them a lot of what not to do. Is there some kind of way that we could teach these kinds of things, or are they just unteachable in your mind? I think they are teachable.

Dan McMurtrie is the Portfolio Manager at Tyro Partners, an asset management firm for institutions and HNWIs; and the General Partner at Anchorless Bangladesh, an early stage venture fund focused on Bangladeshi startups. Links:
