The Reformation

Introduction

Patrick
My guest this week is one of the reasons this podcast exists because he helped me find an audience several years ago. I sent him a research piece, which he kindly shared with his rapidly growing follower base. Today, he is the avatar for the next generation of investors. His story reads like a myth, trials and tribulations, reformation, transformation, and a commitment to share what he has learned. Josh Brown, and I discuss his journey and have a lot of good laughs along the way. You can find show notes for this episode at investorfieldguide.com/Brown. In this episode, I ask the most important question first, so please enjoy.
