*DISCLAIMER* This conversation is for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken as investment advice. This week, join me, Jerome Vaz, and my co-host Maddox Southard as we discuss the secrets to becoming wealthy, almost dropping out of college, online vs in-person college degrees, and much much more. Maddox and I have known each other since the 3rd grade and have taken on similar but slightly different paths in finance, me in investment banking and M&A and him in real estate and investment management. Maddox is a registered investment advisor and owns and operates his own management company, Graybridge Capital, where he focuses on changing the status quo of quantitative and algorithmic trading to bring hedge fund level returns to the common investor who normally would not have those types of opportunities.
