A couple of days ago, Doug Casey and I met up with E.B. Tucker in Montevideo for dinner and a conversation. The corner of a hotel lobby isn’t the ideal setting for recording a podcast, but conversations in person beat the hell out of zoom.
I think you’ll enjoy listening to these two veterans of finance and contrarian thinking discuss markets, lifestyle, and the changing world around us. I sure did.
E.B. is a fun person to hang out with. Agree with him or not, his sharp mind and contagious enthusiasm has a way of making you think differently about the world.
Please Note: I captured the conversation with a new portable camera that literally has a mind of its own. Several minutes into the conversation the AI in the camera went wild. I only figured out how to disable this after the recording finished. Sorry.
