I'm stoked to share my conversation with Calvin Froedge. Calvin has one of the most unique investing backgrounds I've encountered in four years of the podcast. He didn't graduate high school. Instead, he spent his late teen years working for his dad's machinery business. He explored other business ventures in his early twenties before moving to Panama. Today, Calvin spends his time researching new investments and running his Shipping Data company, Marhelm. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. Calvin is a breath of fresh air. He brings a common sense approach to real asset investing. There's no fancy math or excel work. Calvin can explain all his investments on the back of a napkin. You will enjoy his insights. We spend the hour discussing Petrobras $PBR, Ecopetrol $EC, and other ideas on Calvin's radar. If you enjoyed this podcast, check out Calvin on Twitter @CalvinFroedge.

Hey guys! In the latest episode of The Value Hive Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Will Thomson, the managing partner at Massif Capital. Will's investment focuses on tangible assets that can help decarbonize the world. Throughout our conversation, we covered various topics related to investing in this space. We started by discussing the importance of copper and cobalt in transitioning to a lower-carbon future. Will shared his insights on how to evaluate companies that produce these metals. He also discussed where he finds the most attractive investment opportunities along the mining value chain. Will then shared his bear theses for copper and explained his thoughts on the risks associated with investing in this metal. We also delved into the intricacies of valuing mining companies and how to approach this task as an investor. Throughout the episode, Will provided several book recommendations that have influenced his thinking and approach to investing. Whether you're interested in investing in tangible assets or simply looking to broaden your industry knowledge, plenty of value can be gained from this insightful conversation.
