Meet Robin John, the CEO of Eventide, a $6B asset management firm. 

 

Robin and his co-founder defied the odds, launching Eventide in 2008 with no track record, no assets, but unwavering belief. 15 years and $6B dollars later, we know they were onto something.

 

Listen in as he and Stacy discuss: 

 

●      His backstory – How watching his mother do meaningful work in the world as a nurse taught him the value of purpose and impact early on 

●      How he stayed rooted in his mission and defeated the odds in the early days of launching his boutique 

●      Common misconceptions about activism and how he does it differently 

 

…and so much more. 

 

This is a real-life David vs. Goliath story that's both gritty and uplifting – every investment boutique and investor will learn something valuable from Robin’s story.
