What if everyday investors could tap into hedge fund-level strategies without the hefty price tag? In this episode, we sit down with Bob Elliott, co-founder, CEO, and CIO of Unlimited Funds, who is reshaping the world of alternative investments. With a career that kicked off at the renowned Bridgewater Associates, where he worked alongside legendary investor Ray Dalio, Bob is now on a mission to bring sophisticated, low-cost investment strategies to the masses.

How does he do it? By harnessing the power of machine learning to challenge the traditional two-and-twenty fee structure. Bob dives deep into "the wisdom of the crowd," the critical role of fee reduction, and how to strike the perfect balance between market humility and bold moves in the venture world.

Along the way, Bob shares the entrepreneurial lessons he's learned in building Unlimited and gives us a glimpse into the future of hedge fund replication products.

Lukas Lundin, head of the Lundin Group, has grown his group of resource companies into a combined market cap of over $20 billion dollars. Although Lukas has created billions in value for shareholders, his perspectives and advice are applicable to anyone in business. 

We talk about a number of subjects from how Lukas approaches government relationships, building partnerships, succession planning within his businesses and we even get into his personal life. For someone of his caliber, who keeps a relatively private personal profile, I’m honored that he opened up to share his perspectives with us.

A key take away from this interview is that building big is weaved into the DNA of the Lundin Group and that their success is built on an eternal optimism. That said, we also talked about his biggest mistakes and what he learned from them.

Kim Furlong is the CEO of the Canadian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association. Venture capital and private equity are powerful components of our economy but often misunderstood and arguably, over-regulated. The industry can also be heavily impacted by the policies of the government. 

Kim and her team are 'lobbyists' in the most honorable way of working to ensure entrepreneurs can be supported by thriving venture capital and private equity industry. After all, it is this private investment that fuels our country's innovation and global competitiveness.

Joshua and Leonard Harlan of Harlan Capital join us to discuss their focus on investing in new and emerging asset classes. We have witnessed a significant shift in business, where companies no longer need to derive their value from their own net tangible assets. They can now grow by leasing assets as and when they need them and this creates a very compelling investment opportunity.
