Intro

My guest this week is Anthony Pompliano. Pomp began his career in the military and has since been a successful entrepreneur, worked as a head of growth at Facebook, and started Full Tilt Capital, an early-stage investing firm in North Carolina. This conversation has three memorable sections. Early on, we discuss the four traits that Pomp looks for in founders, which we cover in detail. These double as traits that are important when hiring anyone. Next, we discuss his unique take on cryptocurrencies, where he is excited about the prospects for tokenized securities. Finally, we explore a unique media company, Barstool Sports, and what makes it such a powerful brand. Please enjoy our somewhat abbreviated discussion, and know that we will continue the conversation soon.
