For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Shawn Badlani. He is the Founder and CIO of Honest Capital LLC, and we were introduced by recent pod guest, David Polansky from Immersion Investments (Thank you, David!). Shawn was featured in Reuters in January 2021 for Honest Capital's outperformance and bets placed since launching his fund in May 2020, an incredible story on its own. We discuss starting a fund in the midst of all the uncertainty, and why he placed his bets on Cannabis.For more information about Shawn Badlani and Honest Capital LLC, please visit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-badlani-319ab4/Today's episode is sponsored by:Stream by Mosaic, an expert interview transcript library that integrates AI-generated call summaries and NLP search technology so their clients can quickly pinpoint the most critical insights.

For Episode 206 of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Michael Green. He is the Portfolio Manager and Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management, and better known as @profplum99 on Twitter. This interview has been a few months in the making and I think the timing of our chat couldn't be better - Michael is a renowned expert on the intersection of economics, markets, regulation and politics, and we discuss it all...well, as much as we could in about an hour (but we cover a lot). From China, Crypto, ETFs, passive investing, we chat about it all. For all our MicroCap diehards out there, I think you'll especially enjoy hearing Michael's experience working at Royce & Associates.

For Episode 205 of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Richard Sosa, Host of the "Riches in the Niches Podcast." I've been following Richard for a while now, and wanted to get to know the man beyond his famous food takes. He is a passionate investor and it shows when we dive deep into what Richard calls, "Sosa's Five Forces." I really enjoyed our conversation about his investing style as we turned the mic around on a fellow colleague in the field.For more information about the "Riches in the Niches" Podcast, please visit: https://richesintheniches.libsyn.com/website You can Dave Barr on Twitter @RichesNichesPod: https://twitter.com/RichesNichesPod Today's episode is sponsored by:Stream by Mosaic, an expert interview transcript library that integrates AI-generated call summaries and NLP search technology so their clients can quickly pinpoint the most critical insights.

For Episode 204 of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I'm sharing the Planet MicroCap Podcast: LIVE episode with guest, Dave Barr, CEO and Portfolio Manager at PenderFund Capital Management that was broadcast yesterday at the SNN Network Canada Virtual Event. I've had Dave on the program previously and he even gave a keynote earlier this year at the January edition of this event. I invited him back on the program to take a look back because, for those following closely, MicroCaps have been crushed in the last little bit here, Canadian MicroCaps especially, and I thought it would be interesting to chat with someone who's in the trenches to discuss this experience, why this is happening, reflect further on a volatile 2021, and what lies ahead for MicroCaps in 2022.For more information about PenderFund Capital Management, please visit: https://www.penderfund.com/You can Dave Barr on Twitter @PenderDave: https://twitter.com/PenderDaveToday's episode is sponsored by:Stream by Mosaic, an expert interview transcript library that integrates AI-generated call summaries and NLP search technology so their clients can quickly pinpoint the most critical insights.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Harold Leishman, Senior Investment Advisor at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management. He will be moderating a panel at the event showcasing three companies that he discovered using "The Leishman Methodology", which is the topic for today's conversation. I wanted to dig a little deeper into the algorithm Harold and his team put together, backtested, and used to uncover, monitor and lead to more qualitative follow-up with management teams. I really enjoyed our conversation and I highly recommend you sign up for the conference at Canada.SNN.Network to hear his panel as well.For more information about Harold Leishman and Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, please visit: https://www.canaccordgenuity.com/Today's episode is sponsored by:Stream by Mosaic, an expert interview transcript library that integrates AI-generated call summaries and NLP search technology so their clients can quickly pinpoint the most critical insights.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Robert Mulcahy, better known as @TinyStockNinja on Twitter. I've been following Robert for a while now, and he's a fellow MicroCap-per in the trenches. While he is well on his way to becoming a full-time Private Investor, Robert has a number of investing stories under his belt already. Companies can screen well all the livelong day, but all too often, especially with MicroCap stocks, it comes down to the qualitative due diligence, and we chat about a few of those qualitative tales from the crypt.You can Follow Robert Mulcahy How on Twitter @TinyStockNinja: https://twitter.com/tinystockninja Today's episode is sponsored by Quartr.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Rich Howe. He is the Founder and Editor of Stock Spin-Off Investing, a premium newsletter focused on spin-offs. I originally met Rich when he was a guest on Avoiding the Crowd with Maj Soueidan, a great episode, and inspired me to not only start following Rich and his newsletter, but I wanted to share more of his expertise on here. As you can imagine, our conversation is about all things Spin-Offs: criteria, identifying opportunities, case studies, why they go unnoticed by most investors, and much more!For more information about Rich Howe and StockSpinOffInvesting.com, please visit: https://stockspinoffinvesting.com/premium/You can Follow Rich How on Twitter @stockspinoffss: https://twitter.com/stockspinoffssToday's episode is sponsored by Quartr.

For Episode 200 of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I welcomed back Ian Cassel and Mike Schellinger, the Co-Founders of MicroCapClub. For those who don't know, MicroCapClub is the pre-eminent MicroCap investing forum, known for spring-boarding the careers of some of the best investors we know, and more importantly, has profiled many of the most well-known MicroCap winners. Ian Cassel was my first ever guest on Planet MicroCap, Mike has been a guest three times, and I can't thank them enough for their support of the Planet MicroCap Podcast. MicroCapClub was started in 2011, so I was thrilled we could celebrate both Episode 200 and their 10-year anniversary, all in one episode. Listen in to hear how MCC came to be, it's evolution, the incredible culture that has been cultivated, how their investing styles have changed, and much more!For more information about MicroCapClub, please visit: https://microcapclub.com/ You can Follow Ian Cassel on Twitter @iancassel: https://twitter.com/iancassel You can Follow Mike Schellinger on Twitter @MikeDDKing: https://twitter.com/MikeDDKing Today's episode is sponsored by Quartr.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Luis Sanchez, investor and founder of LVS Advisory; I was introduced to him by Ben Claremon, Host of the Compounders podcast (thank you Ben!). This was the first time I met with Luis and we chatted about a whole host of topics: his defensive portfolio strategy focused on merger arbitrages, growth portfolio philosophy, Naked Wines thesis, value traps and more! I really enjoyed meeting Luis and learning more about his investing approach.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Trey Henninger. He is the Host of the DIY Investing Podcast, and as a fellow MicroCap-per in the trenches, we talk about a wide range of topics that permeate our landscape, for example, why MicroCap is still not mainstream and the recent Dark Stock amendment. Trey and I then dig into his investment approach which boils down to three prongs: Quality, Value and Management - sounds simple, and it is, but I thoroughly enjoyed learning how he explains his process.For more information about the DIY Investing Podcast and DIY Investing, please visit: https://www.diyinvesting.org/You can Follow Trey Henninger on Twitter @TreyHenninger: https://twitter.com/TreyHenningerPlanet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Edward Chang. He is the Founder of Pledge Capital, and we met recently via Twitter after seeing he shared a recent episode of Compounders. After doing some research on Edward and his firm, Pledge Capital, I can't believe its taken me this long to find and have him on the show. As the title alludes, our conversation is all about hunting for compounders or companies undergoing transformations that could lead to a compounding scenario; the latter point being explored the most. I really enjoyed learning about Edward's approach and he shares a few case studies that support his thesis.For more information about Pledge Capital, please visit: http://www.pledge.capital/You can Follow Edward Chang on Twitter @edwardwchang: https://twitter.com/edwardwchangPlanet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Harris Perlman. He is a Full-time MicroCap investor, MicroCapClub contributor and better known as @Ottermarket on Twitter. We've crossed paths at many events over the years, and stoked to finally get Harris on the show to discuss his passion for MicroCaps. As you will hear, Harris was a big gamer when he was younger, and while considering investing in the stock market, he notes that, "with investing, you want to play the easiest games possible", which ultimately led him towards his journey into investing in MicroCap stocks. Listen in to hear his investing framework, how the MicroCap universe has changed, various ideas and much more!You can Follow Harris Perlman on Twitter @OtterMarket: https://twitter.com/OtterMarket Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of The Investors Roundtable (#41), we discuss the aftermath since the new SEC Dark Stock rule took effect on September 28, 2021.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Josh Young. He is the CIO of Bison Interests. I recently met Josh at our last virtual event, when he participated on Ben Claremon's 10-K club panel and pitched SandRidge Energy - panel available on the SNN Network YouTube Channel. If you've been following Josh on Twitter, he has been very active discussing oil and gas investing, the energy crisis, rising gas prices; and I wanted to be more informed about what the heck is going on (gas ain't cheap here in Los Angeles). We not only go into everything that's happening currently, we also answer all your questions that were submitted on Twitter. I really enjoyed our conversation because Josh gets into detail for folks who know Energy, Natural Gas, Oil & Gas well, and breaks it all down for those who haven't been following the news.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Jon Cukierwar. He is the Founder of Sohra Peak Capital Partners. I recently met Jon at one of our virtual events, and as a fellow millennial passionate about Small-, Micro-Cap stocks, I had to invite him on. Jon recently launched Sohra Peak Capital this Summer with an investment process that focuses on his own 21-point proprietary investment framework. His background and passion led to what sets him and Sohra Peak apart: finding inefficiencies in Small-Caps, looking globally with a long-term time horizon. I really enjoy featuring new, emerging fund managers on the pod, and based on Jon's background, passion and clear focus, he's one to watch for sure.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Derek Pilecki. He is the Portfolio Manager at Gator Capital Management. After a great recommendation by friend of the show, Rich Howe from Stock Spinoff Investing, Derek and I found a time to connect and discuss all things financials. We chatted about regional banks, Puerto Rico, consumer finance, and what it's like starting a hedge fund in the middle of the Global Financial Crisis. Since launching Gator Capital, his fund's performance has been stellar - 21.52% Annual Compound Return, and I really enjoyed finding out why.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Rick Rule. I've known Rick for my entire career in Financial Media, and whenever I have questions about what happening in Precious Metals, Natural Resources, Mining, he's the guy. Since I last spoke to Rick, he has stepped down as CEO at Sprott US Holdings, and has a little more time doing what he loves: Investing and Speculating. I asked Rick to join me on the pod because I just finished doing 100 interviews for the Precious Metals Summit - Beaver Creek, the best event in the Precious Metals space in my opinion, and I had to get his opinion on some of what I heard from management teams. In addition, we hadn't talked since the pandemic hit in early 2020, so I wanted to hear his takes on the silver short squeeze, Reddit investing, how all this has affected precious metals, and of course, taking up all the headlines of late, Uranium.For more information about Rick Rule and Rule Investment Media, please visit: https://ruleinvestmentmedia.com/Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with David Polansky. He is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Immersion Investments. David very recently launched in his fund, Immersion Investments, in June 2021, so it was a pleasure to welcome him on the pod to better understand his investing philosophy and approach. We spend the majority of our time breaking down the "Ideal Immersion Setup", which are companies that fall into one or more of the categories listed in the title of this episode. I had a great time chatting with David and excited for him as he embarks on this new journey.For more information about David Polansky and Immersion Investments, please visit: https://immersioninvest.com/You can Follow David Polansky on Twitter @DavidHPolansky: https://twitter.com/davidhpolanskyPlanet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Tyler DuPont. He is the Founder and Chief Everything Officer at Augury Research. The title of this episode is "Not Your Father's Stocks" as an ode to, not only Tyler's podcast by the same name, but what inspired him to get into investing in the first place. There are many lessons we learn from our parents, and as a father myself, I can only hope my kids become a far better people than I one day. With that said, you will most certainly love how Tyler became obsessed with researching stocks and investing because well, his father was so bad at it. Tyler is driven to be the best he possibly can be and I'm thankful to his father for inspiring him to get after it the way he has and continues to with Augury Research.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I’m sharing with you the MicroCap Graduation Series: Barry Sloane, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Newtek Business Services Corp. (NASDAQ: NEWT). I've known and interviewed Barry as far back at maybe 7 or 8 years ago, and Newtek was actually featured on the front cover of our magazine, the MicroCap Review back in March 2015.The last 18 months have been especially interesting for Newtek, where, at its peak on June 4, 2021, since its March 2020 low, has gone up 331%, and as of August 24, 2021, up 215%. As the company is described, "Newtek Business Services Corp., Your Business Solutions Company®, is an internally managed BDC, which along with its controlled portfolio companies, provides a wide range of business and financial solutions under the Newtek® brand to the small- and medium-sized business (“SMB”) market."Back in March 2020, the company made several announcements on its involvement in providing PPP loans to small businesses and via the CARES Act, and Barry, as he will tell you, has never been busier. In this discussion, we cover everything from why Barry started Newtek over 20 years ago, how he loves being a public company CEO (as he says, 'you have to'), growing pains and much much more. Please enjoy!In 2019, I started a series on the podcast called the "MicroCap Graduation Series", the goal is to portray a full picture of the Micro-, Nano-cap space – from learning strategies to help you become a successful investor and to show that there are actual real, live public companies that have found success as a public Micro- or Nano-cap company.For more information about Newtek Business Services Corp., please visit: https://www.newtekone.com/ Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Mark Jones. He is the Fund Manager at Pragmatic Capital Management. I recently came across Mark's interview with SumZero and, somehow, missed his fantastic interview on Toby's Acquirer's Podcast back in March 2019. I listened to both and thought this person needs to be on more shows to share his insights, and let's start here. I mean, he was talking about GameStop and AMC before it was in vogue. A true contrarian to the core and so excited to share our conversation. Not only that, I'm so stoked to announce Mark will be giving a Keynote Presentation at our upcoming virtual, the SNN Network Summer Virtual Event 2021.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Conor MacNeil. He is the Owner of the Investment Talk Newsletter and known as @InvestmentTalkk on Twitter. For a while, Conor was anonymous on Twitter, and only very recently changed up his marketing strategy. He has developed quite a following since starting his Twitter account in February 2020, and launched his newsletter in May 2020. What was really cool and encouraging about my chat with Conor is that despite being a young man, he gets whole-heartedly that with investing, one is always a student of the game. My impression is that that is why he's seeing the success he's had and will continue to do so.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Brandon Beylo. He is the Host of the Value Hive Podcast and Research Analyst at Macro Ops. I've known Brandon for a while now, and it was long overdue to have him on the show. He's incredibly passionate about investing and that comes through in all his endeavors via the podcast and his work at Macro Ops. As a guest on his show, I saw that firsthand in the prep Brandon does even for me, and I think he's a true asset to the space. We had a fun chat where we jam on his background, investing strategy, and specifically, on cult companies and whether they make good cult stocks.

For this episode of The Investors Roundtable (#39), we have a jam packed all-star roster ready to discuss being a Contrarian Investor. I believe all successful investors are contrarians to one degree or another, however, having a contrarian mindset is easier said than done. We've talked about contrarianism on many episodes on Planet MicroCap and there's many ways to not just be a successful investor, but also be a successful contrarian investor. So, I've assembled some of the best of the best to chat about it.Paul Andreola, Small Cap DiscoveriesTwitter: https://twitter.com/PaulAndreolaWebsite: https://smallcapdiscoveries.com/Jason Hirschman, Private Investor/MicroCapClub.com ContributorTwitter: https://twitter.com/EightTrack180Steven Kiel, Willow Oak Asset Management / Arquitos CapitalTwitter: https://twitter.com/Steven_Kiel​​​​Website: https://www.arquitos.com/​​​​Gary Ribe, Accretive Wealth PartnersTwitter: https://twitter.com/enterprisinginvWebsite: http://inthemarkettrenches.podbean.com/Christian Ryther, Cureen CapitalTwitter: https://twitter.com/CurreenCRWebsite: http://www.curreencapital.com/ This is a public episode.

Dominique's upcoming book is a memoir about her time working at Canyon Partners, which at the time was a small, little-known hedge fund, and over the span of two decades, she rose to the top of the firm as the only female partner and senior portfolio manager—in what became one of the largest hedge funds in the U.S. We have a great conversation about her time working at Canyon Partners, and all the lessons she learned along the way.For more information about Dominique Mielle, please visit: https://www.dominiquemielle.com/To pre-order "Damsel in Distressed: My Life in the Golden Age of Hedge Funds" on Amazon, please visit: https://www.amazon.com/Damsel-Distressed-Golden-Hedge-Funds/dp/1642939722/ref=sYou can follow Dominique Mielle on Twitter @DominiqueMielle: https://twitter.com/DominiqueMiellePlanet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of The Investors Roundtable (#38), we chat the rise in commodities prices. Mainstream financial media outlets are now finally starting to talk about this phenomenon as it has been affecting all aspects of the economy. The goal here is to better understand why this is taking place - is it simply a supply / demand issue that'll be resolved once the demand lessons as the world continues to open up, is this due to rising inflation concerns, or is it something in between?

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Thomas Braziel. He is the Founder and CIO of 507 Capital. The MicroCap universe, believe or not, is not huge (Shocker, I know), but so many of our guests said I should meet Thomas Braziel, he looks at the weirdest of the weird, the most out there ideas. Luckily, Tom has joined me on several The Investors Roundtable episodes, and we're finally taking the time to highlight him on Planet MicroCap. We chat about why he's a big fan of the "Steak and Sizzle" style of investing, as well as many examples of how he's utilized this strategy.For more information about Thomas Braziel and 507 Capital, please visit: https://507capital.com/You can Follow Thomas Braziel on Twitter @ThomasBraziel: https://twitter.com/ThomasBrazielPlanet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

He is the CEO and Chief Investment Officer at U.S. Global Investors, GROW on NASDAQ, and Chairman of the Board of HIVE Blockchain Technologies, HIVE on TSX Venture and HVBTF on the OTCQX. I've known and interviewed Frank for a long time now, so featuring him on the pod is long overdue. But the timing couldn't be better as Frank has been on the front lines of crypto and he needs to be fully up to date on all the macro events that could affect digital assets. We chat at length on all the biggest headlines in crypto, what they mean, as well as how the crypto volatility compares to his experience investing primarily in natural resources. We recorded this episode in two parts, the first ~50 minutes on May 12 and the rest on May 27 because there was so much that happened in crypto world in between.For more information about HIVE Blockchain Technologies, please visit: https://hiveblockchain.com/For more information about U.S. Global Investors, please visit: https://www.usfunds.com/ You can Follow Frank Holmes on Twitter @bulldogholmes: https://twitter.com/bulldogholmes Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

Everything from re-opening plays, how various industries have changed, and most importantly, and what our panel of investors are looking right now.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Guy Spier, Managing Partner and Principal at Aquamarine Capital, and the Author of, "The Education of a Value Investor." We were introduced by Matthew Peterson, Managing Partner at Peterson Capital Management, a great friend and joined me on the pod for Episode 133 - definitely check that out. I've known about Guy for a long time, and couldn't believe that this would be possible, so I'm incredibly humbled that he joined me for our conversation.For those who don't know Guy, nor read his book, Guy got his start in MicroCap land, and not only did we chat about those experiences, but discuss his journey of self-discovery, discipline, understanding oneself and how that can help you as an investor. If there's one takeaway I had, and was an incredible reminder, in life and investing, enjoy the process, enjoy the work because chances of success are small.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I’m sharing with you the MicroCap Graduation Series: Kurt Sorschak, Chairman and CEO of Xebec Adsorption (TSX: XBC). In 2019, I started a series on the podcast called the "MicroCap Graduation Series", the goal is to portray a full picture of the Micro-, Nano-cap space – from learning strategies to help you become a successful investor and to show that there are actual real, live public companies that have found success as a public Micro- or Nano-cap company. I first met Kurt at our 2019 Planet MicroCap Showcase, where he was featured on Paul Andreola's panel, "Canadian MicroCap Stocks: Best of the Really Undiscovered."Since that panel was conducted, Xebec, at its peak on January 18, 2021 has gone up 712%, and as of April 26, 2021, up 226%. As Kurt will discuss, it's all about timing, and it took a long time for the company to finally hit the inflection points to recognize value for shareholders. Kurt is very open and honest about the ups and downs of running a public company, and is especially candid about the company's recent dip following updating their 2020 guidance. We actually chat at length about guidance and why Kurt will continue to provide guidance for shareholders. I loved our conversation and learned a great deal from him.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I’m sharing with you the MicroCap Graduation Series: Hamed Shahbazi, Chairman and CEO of WELL Health Technologies (TSX: WELL). In 2019, I started a series on the podcast called the "MicroCap Graduation Series", the goal is to portray a full picture of the Micro-, Nano-cap space – from learning strategies to help you become a successful investor and to show that there are actual real, live public companies that have found success as a public Micro- or Nano-cap company. My guest today has not one, but two, MicroCap graduates in a relatively short time frame, 4 years, with TIO Networks and WELL Health Technologies. Actually, one of the first investor presentations I saw was your presentation on TIO Networks at LD Micro I think back in 2011.On February 14, 2017 (great V-Day gift), PayPal announced that it will acquire TIO Networks for approximately $302 million CDN ($238 million USD), and since taking the job as CEO on May 23, 2018, where the stock closed at $0.58, and as of yesterday (Day of recording - April 13, 2021) traded at $7.60, ~1,210% increase in share price. I really enjoyed learning from Hamed what it takes to have success in building businesses from scratch.For more information about WELL Health Technologies, please visit: https://www.well.company/Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I’m sharing with you the Planet MicroCap Podcast / Value After Hours: Crossover Event with Special Guest, Ian Cassel. I've been wanting to do a crossover event that would rival Avengers: Endgame, and I think we did just that. In all seriousness, I'm a huge fan of Tobias' podcast, Acquirers Podcast, as well as his weekly chats with Bill Brewster and Jake Taylor, titled, "Value After Hours". And in the #1 spin-off of the last 12 months, Bill has launched his own incredible podcast, "The Business Brew", where he's showcasing his talents as an interviewer and bringing on brilliant guests. And, how could we have a #MicroCap crossover event without Ian Cassel - I'm truly thankful for all his contributions to bring integrity to the MicroCap space, and for continuing to remind people that MicroCap stocks is where the greats got their start building generational wealth. We talk about many different topics here, so sit back, relax, and please enjoy!Bill Brewster, Host, "The Business Brew" and Co-Host "Value After Hours"Twitter: https://twitter.com/BillBrewsterSCGPodcast: https://www.podpage.com/the-business-brew/Tobias Carlisle, Host, "Acquiers Podcast" and Co-Host "Value After Hours"Twitter: https://twitter.com/GreenbackdWebsite: https://acquirersmultiple.com/Podcast: https://acquirersmultiple.com/podcast/Ian Cassel, Co-Founder of MicroCapClub.com and CIO at Intelligent Fanatics Capital ManagementTwitter: https://twitter.com/iancasselWebsite: https://microcapclub.com/Jake Taylor, CEO of Farnam Street Investments and Co-Host "Value After Hours"Twitter: https://twitter.com/farnamjake1Website: http://www.farnam-street.com/Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Julia Carreon. She is a longtime digital executive in financial services who now specializes in GenZ. I'm a firm believer that as investors, business owners, evaluators of businesses, no question about it, you want to understand your investments' customer base, and as business owners, your customer. As part of a generation, millennials, that's been traditionally "poo-poo'd" on themost, I was starting to see that same pattern happening with GenZ, even falling for some of those easy criticisms myself. However, I wanted to break this thought process and better understand GenZ as best I can. This conversation started with Caitlin Cook, a GenZ-er herself, and we are continuing with acclaimed writer, thinker who has vast experience speaking at conferences and white paper author on the topic, Julia Carreon. We try our best to understand everything we can about GenZ, but most importantly, in general, why it's important to not overlook what could be the most disruptive generation in human history.For more information about Julia Carreon, you can connect with her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-c-carreon-8318674/You can Follow Julia Carreon on Twitter @juliaccarreon: https://twitter.com/juliaccarreon​​Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of The Investors Roundtable (#36), we chat about a topic that, frankly, I don't know very much about: Technical Analysis and Trading. Actually, the first time I ever chatted with Kevin Shea was about how he uses "TA" as part of his MicroCap investing strategy. We decided to take the conversation to the next level and discuss whether or not you can have "TA" as part of your fundamental approach. Can you? Listen and find out.

This episode of The Investors Roundtable (#35) is inspired by one of my favorite investing books of all time, The Intelligent Fanatics (all three books in the series), which is about how great leaders build sustainable businesses. Our panelists all have years and years of investing experience focused on identifying great companies early, and today, they share their knowledge how they've gone about doing so.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Jim Royal. He is the Author of the new book, titled, "The Zen of Thrift Conversions: How to Turn Hidden Bank Stocks into Big Gains." Jim and his book were recommended by one of our listeners, thank you Gunnar, and I'm so stoked he was. I had never even heard of Thrift Conversions before this conversation, and that's saying a lot living the obscure MicroCap land that we do. That's why this episode is the 101 class version, and I think might be now be able to tell you what a Thrift Conversion is, let alone spell it. Jim does a great job detailing this asset class, and as an awesome bonus, he was a contestant on Jeopardy so we chat about his experience there as well. Come for Thrift Conversions, leave with a great story about Jeopardy.For more information about Jim Royal and to purchase your copy of "The Zen of Thrift Conversions: How to Turn Hidden Bank Stocks into Big Gains," please visit: https://www.thezenofthriftconversions.com/You can Follow Jim Royal on Twitter @JimRoyalPhD: https://twitter.com/JimRoyalPhDPlanet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!
