In today’s episode, we continue our conversation with Steven Van Metre, financial planner, portfolio manager, and an increasingly recognized commentator on macroeconomics and the global financial system.
During the second part of our interview, Steven opens up about his personal struggles regarding his health. He explains how the medical establishment undermined his ability to receive a diagnosis for years. Steven shares how he received inspiration from a friend upon learning of his genetic condition and how he has learned to manage his energy and use his strengths to his advantage.
We discuss the importance of recognizing and pursuing opportunities when they are presented, and how Steven was able to elevate his YouTube presence thanks to an opportunity offered by an established figure who was willing to take a chance on him. Steven also shares his views on Bitcoin and the paradigm he follows when it comes to macroeconomics.
We had a wonderful time having Stephen on the show. We hope you’ll enjoy the conversation as much as we did!
