The Insider's Guide To Finance

It’s very common for business owners to neglect taking the long view of their company for five, or even ten years down the line. Especially, since you become conditioned to think in quarterly and annual outcomes. This is not the case for today’s guest Steven Van Metre; a financial planner, portfolio manager, and an increasingly recognized commentator on macroeconomics and the global financial system.

His professional accomplishments are matched by his success on social media platforms, particularly YouTube where he has a following of over fifty thousand people. Steven has featured as a guest on esteemed channels like Real Vision and Macro Voices multiple times to share his approaches to analyzing and capitalizing on market opportunities. In today’s episode, we share the first half of our interview where we discuss how Steven found success on Youtube; and what his thoughts are on the current macroeconomic climate. We talk about what Steven has learned from his detractors; why he tries to write positive comments to channels he enjoys; and how to take care of your mental health as a public figure on YouTube. Steven dives into macroeconomics offering up plenty of advice to business owners, particularly with regards to making your business recession-proof.
