Episode notes

The key to unlocking success is getting closer to reality. Maintaining a fragile fantasy narrative is not productive. The market teaches the lesson of accepting reality, as it constantly reminds asset managers that they are wrong if they believe they are right and the market is wrong. Former special forces personnel and emergency doctors are valuable because they have a deep understanding of the reality and make quick, agile decisions based on that reality.

Designer, entrepreneur and Visualize Value founder Jack Butcher joins us for his second appearance on the show to discuss how to get closer to reality, the differences between the US & the UK, whether vision can be taught, and MUCH more!
