Episode 24: Anthony Pompliano - CEO of Professional Capital Management

This week on Generating Alpha, I’m joined by Anthony Pompliano — a former soldier turned tech executive, investor, and one of the most influential voices in Bitcoin and digital finance. Known to millions simply as “Pomp,” Anthony has built a uniquely powerful presence at the intersection of technology, investing, and media.

After serving in the U.S. Army, Anthony transitioned into the private sector with roles at Facebook and Snapchat during periods of explosive growth. He later co-founded Morgan Creek Digital, an investment firm focused on blockchain technology and digital assets. Over the past several years, he’s become one of the most widely followed advocates for Bitcoin and decentralized systems — building an audience that spans Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and everyday retail investors. Through his daily newsletter and top-ranked podcast, he’s played a major role in shaping how a new generation understands money, innovation, and financial sovereignty.

In our conversation, we talk about how his upbringing and military background helped shape his work ethic and worldview, lessons he took from working directly with leaders like Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, and how he came to see Bitcoin not just as technology, but as an ideology. We also explore what separates great founders and the mindset he uses to stay sharp in rapidly evolving markets.

Anthony’s journey is a testament to conviction, clarity of thought, and the power of building in public — and his perspective offers real value for anyone navigating the future of finance, media, or entrepreneurship.
