Episode notes

Todays’ guest is Erik Townsend, host of the Macro voices podcast. Erik has an unusual background, as he had a very successful career as a technology entrepreneur before turning his hand to commodity trading. His background gives him a different perspective to many in the financial world, as we discovered in our conversation.

As Erik said towards the end of our conversation “Put your seatbelt on, there could be some rough turbulence ahead”!
