Muji @ hhhypergrowth: The 5 Most Important Rules For Hypergrowth Investing

Hey guys! After what felt like three years in the making, this week’s guest is Matthew Sweeney, the founder and portfolio manager of Laughing Water Capital. Long story short, Matt was actually the first fund manager that I’ve ever cold email when I was getting into the game and he was kind enough to email me back right away.  Since then we’ve been able to stay in touch and talk about investment ideas. In this conversation, we dove into Matt’s 4 part decision making framework on evaluating investment theses:  Is it a good business?  Who are we partnering with?  What happens when something goes wrong?  Why it might be cheap?  We also discussed his journey as a portfolio manager, delay gratification vs opportunity cost, what is edge, originality, and thinking on what would the drunks in the bar say?

Shreekkanth Viswanathan: Finding Great Businesses Outside The US (SHVA.TSE & LVC.WSE)

Hey gang! I'm stoked to bring you my Twitter Spaces interview and Q&A with Ben Kovler, founder and CEO of Green Thumb Industries $GTII.  GTII is a cannabis MSO (multi-state operator) betting big on consumer brands in the recreational cannabis space. The company sports a $7B market cap and generates over $750M in annual revenue.  During the Spaces, I give Ben a more formal 1v1 interview about the business, long-term strategies, and how he thinks about branding. After that, we open the floor to live Q&A from those in attendance.  I can't thank Ben and the listeners enough. Listeners asked great questions and Ben was extremely generous with his time in giving us over an hour on a Labor Day Sunday.  If you like what you heard, give Ben a follow here.  Please note: I do not hold any GTII stock as of the date of this recording.  This episode is brought to you by TIKR.
