ILTB has been downloaded more than 10,000,000 times, was chosen as one of five podcasts to listen to by the Wall Street Journal

While many guests are professional investors (portfolio managers, venture capitalists, researchers, authors), I will also speak with many people outside of the investing business whose insight and experience can entertain and inform.

My constant goal: find great people who are willing to share what they’ve learned with you.

“I’ve done thousands of interviews in my career and this was the one I enjoyed most. Patrick’s casual, well-informed style and his natural charisma and curiosity form a powerful combination.
