Investing In Fine Wine And Whiskey With Anthony Zhang From Vinovest

Friday, October 25, 2024 • Duration 38:17

Investing in alternative assets has become an increasingly popular way to diversify beyond traditional stocks and bonds. Wine and whiskey, in particular, are gaining traction due to their potential for strong returns, resilience during economic downturns, and rising demand.

In this episode, I speak to Anthony Zhang, CEO and Founder of Vinovest, a platform that enables individuals to invest in fine wine and whiskey. We'll talk about why wine and whiskey have performed well and why they are a growing asset class.

I also talk to Anthony Zhang about bringing awareness to spinal cord injuries, after his own accident, and how we can help.

If you'd like to explore Vinovest's offerings, you can sign up here.

College Admission Consulting For High Schoolers With Alice Chen

Thursday, October 10, 2024 • Duration 39:47

If you have children, you likely want to provide them with the best education possible, which may include helping them get into a top college. Along the way, you may come across college consulting services and wonder how beneficial they really are.

In today's episode, I speak with Alice Chen, Founder of BrightStory Admission Consulting, to find out more about the service.

Alice is a daughter of immigrants and grew up in the Boston area. Alice’s father was a research scientist and her mother an auditor, so Alice grew up thinking that those who studied and worked the hardest would succeed.

But after attending Stanford and working in TV journalism, Alice quickly learned that IQ was not the most important factor for workplace (and life) success.

Alice created BrightStory to offer the mentoring she wishes she had as a teen. Alice also created Happy Asian Woman, a newsletter focused on wellness and living a meaningful life, and she incorporates these values into her coaching work.

How To Become A Better Investment Forecaster And Make More Money

Friday, November 11, 2022 • Duration 13:01

Recently, I came up with a thesis on November 1, 2022 that the 2.7% decline in the Series I Bond rate was the most bullish economic indicator I've seen all year. See: The Most Bullish Indicator Yet

Nine days later, on November 10, 2022, the thesis was spot on as October inflation numbers came in below expectations. How did well-paid PhD economists & Wall Street strategists not recognize upcoming inflation figures will likely come in below EXPECTATIONS?

Conversely, how did a tired, stay-at-home dad without a job since 2012 get it right? This episode is on how to make better investment forecasts to hopefully make more money. We won't be able to get investing right all the time, but we can do work to help increase our odds of making better decisions.
