What is Founder Views - Conversations that matter to you?

There are many important topics in the world that you need to be informed about. The problem is, most people don’t have the time to explore these topics on their own.

My goal is to have easy-to-understand conversations with experts that will help give you the nudge to start digging into the subjects that are meaningful to you.

From economics, business, real estate, investing, bitcoin, politics, and much more - you’re going to hear me pick the brains of thought-leaders, CEO's, politicians and business experts about relevant topics that matter.

I look forward to learning and exploring alongside with you.
