On today’s episode, Clay sits down with Chris Mayer to discuss the lessons from his book - 100 Baggers.

Chris is the author of 100 Baggers, and the portfolio manager of Woodlock House Family Capital. Chris’s book was published in 2018, and has quickly become a favorite within the investing community. The book very clearly explains the ingredients needed for a stock to compound and grow to 100 Bagger status, which we discuss during this episode.
