Investing in Overlooked Industries

Introduction

Eric
My guest today is Aaron Edelheit, the CEO and Portfolio Manager at Mindset Capital. Aaron has spent his career practicing value investing in overlooked industries like housing after the 2008 recession or cannabis today. But today, we start the conversation by talking about another overlooked topic, burnout and the importance of disengaging from work.

We then talk about the cannabis industry, the myths and opportunities and why Aaron raised a venture fund to invest in cannabis beverages. This is a timely conversation recorded just ahead of the news that the DEA will reschedule cannabis, providing a massive boost to the industry, particularly around taxation. Please enjoy this conversation with Aaron Edelheit.
