How to discover your edge, the connection between financial success and happiness, and recalibrating in response to change w/ Jason Karp.

Jason Karp discovered that running an investment fund was no longer his calling at the very peak of his success. His mistake, he tells us, was not retiring from the industry at that exact moment. But by the time Jason shut Tourbillon Capital down in 2018, his calling was becoming clear—he wanted to help people live healthier lives. 

In the years before joining SAC Capital, managing the legendary firm's largest portfolio, Jason had been diagnosed with several autoimmune diseases. Rather than take medications to mitigate his symptoms, Jason rigorously investigated the effects of the food and products he consumed, gradually regaining his health. 

While achieving incredible success at Carlson Capital and later Tourbillon, Jason was growing Hu, a company he co-founded with his wife Jessica and brother-in-law Jordan. The award-winning chocolate they created is vegan, paleo, soy-free, refined sugar-free, and laid the groundwork for the HumanCo—the health-focused entity Jason founded in 2019.

Jason shares his origin story as an entrepreneurial kid and under-aged card counter in our inspiring sit-down. He also tells us how his investment background and authentic personal health journey give him a massive edge in his mission to make healthier living more accessible for more people.
