Talking Billions with Bogumil Baranowski
Business:Investing
Before I tell you about this week’s bonus episode, here is a quick announcement: this episode will air on Wednesday, May 1, a day before my arrival in Omaha for Buffett’s Berkshire Meeting. If you are in Omaha and see me, please say hello; I’d love to meet you and hear more about you. Even if you aren’t coming to Omaha but feel inspired to share something with me, head to my website, bogumilbaranowski.com, and send me a message.
This is the second Fireside Chat, during which my guest host asks me questions, and you, my audience, get to know me, your host, better.
Matthew Stafford is a good friend and a former Talking Billions guest; I highly recommend his episode. He is the co-author of Find Your 9others: The Questions to Ask Yourself as You Start up and Scale Up, which was co-authored by Katie Lewis**. 9others has been a huge success and hosted over 5,000 entrepreneurs at 500 events in 45 countries.**
Matthew Stafford works with startups, venture capital, and angel investors, governments, NGOs, and large corporations to create and capture value.
He is a fellow VALUEx’er, a brilliant mind, and a thoughtful person, and I had to say yes when the idea for this fireside chat came up.
We touch on so many topics, from my journey from Cold War Poland to getting educated around Europe and being professionally shaped by New York. I explain the kind of investing I practice and the type of clients I work with. We discuss the deeper, more nuanced philosophy behind what I do. Stay tuned until the end, when I share my experience of recently launching my new investment firm, Blue Infinitas Capital.
We had a fun hour together; I trust you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.
