Ep 293Ep. 246 - Durable Growth: Investing in the Eye of the Storm Right Now with Jeremy Deal, Managing Partner of JDP Capital Management
For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Jeremy Deal, Managing Partner of JDP Capital Management. I last chatted with Jeremy on the podcast back in September 2020, back when stonks only go up. Safe to say, the world was a little different then, and things have shifted quite a bit. We got to chatting offline about the current environment, specifically how he's approaching investing in the eye of the storm. Jeremy was an active investor back in the 2008-2009 time period, so I wanted his take on how things are compared to then. Also, he sent me a paper by Meritech Capital about “Durable Growth”, and he's using this framework to help him through this difficult investing environment. We wrap up talking about how Jeremy would deploy this framework in MicroCaps.

Ep 287Ep. 243 - LIVE: Does Mining Have a PR Problem? with Dr. Nicole Adshead-Bell, Tavi Costa and Jamie Holman
For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I'm sharing with you the live Planet MicroCap Podcast panel I hosted at the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek recorded last week. Joining me for this panel was Dr. Nicole Adshead-Bell, President at Cupel Advisory, Jamie Holman, Portfolio Manager at Merk Investments and Tavi Costa, Partner and Portfolio Manager at Crescat Capital. The original theme for the panel was "Pro Tips on Investing in Junior Miners", which we do answer, but the overall take home message from the live audience was our discussion about the Mining industry's PR problem. We unpack why mining has such a bad reputation with the average retail investor, why the negative sentiment in mining right now feels very different than past troughs, as well as what the mining industry needs to do to push back against the perception that mining is bad. My three guests are very experienced professional investors in mining, and wherever you land on the spectrum in terms of mining or precious metals in your portfolio, I think you will really appreciate their insights on this topic. Also, special thank you to the entire team at the Precious Metals Summit and the Levental Family for your hospitality and hosting one of the best MicroCap events on the calendar.

Ep 286Ep. 242 - Focus on KPI’s and MicroCap Pessimism with Maj Soueidan, GeoInvesting.com, and Quim Abril, Draco Global
For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Maj Soueidan from GeoInvesting.com, and Quim Abril, Portfolio Manager of Draco Global. I haven't had Maj on the pod for a little bit, and it's been a long summer, with a potentially longer winter ahead of us, and I wanted his thoughts on navigating our current MicroCap environment. Maj also recommended having Quim Abril on the show to give his take as well, and talk about his investing course geared towards native Spanish speakers. We discuss in depth that right now, at this point in 2022, when looking at MicroCaps (at any potential investment), Maj and Quim are focusing on KPI's, Key Performance Indicators that the company can show that indicates their business success, growth or lack thereof. It's easy right now to get wrapped up in so many different data points at both the macro and individual company scale, so being able to lock in on information that one can clearly see the overall performance of the business. Quim and Maj give a number of live examples to demonstrate what they mean by this. We also talk about overall pessimism in MicroCaps, thoughts on why and as demonstrated with honing in KPIs, what we can do about it.

Ep 283Ep. 240 - Navigating the Extremely Bearish Sentiment in Cannabis with Aaron Edelheit, CEO of Mindset Capital
For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Aaron Edelheit, Author of “The Hard Break: The Case for the 24/6 Lifestyle” and CEO of Mindset Capital. While most of the MicroCap space has had a rough year in 2022, I'd argue that two sectors that have particularly had it rough are Mining and Psychedelics (which we talked about in Episode 239 with Fadi Diab). Probably the sector, however, that has received, not only the least amount of "love" so to speak, it's being completely forgotten about and not mentioned at all - Cannabis! I've heard Aaron on multiple podcasts talking about the opportunities in Cannabis, and rather than doing a "Cannabis Investing 101" pod, we wanted to talk about why capital has dried up for the cannabis industry (for now), why brokerage houses have made it extremely difficult to buy cannabis stocks, and most importantly the headwinds that have caused this "Cannabis Winter." Don't worry Cannabis enthusiasts, we do also cover what catalysts could result in a rebound for the cannabis industry.

Ep 280GameSquare (CSE: GSQ) (OTCQB: GMSQF): Connecting Global Brands to Gaming and Esports Communities
My guest on the show today is Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare Esports Inc. (CSE: GSQ) (OTCQB: GMSQF). GameSquare is an international gaming and esports company headquartered in Toronto, Canada. The Company is seeking to acquire additional assets and entities serving the gaming and esports markets and, more broadly, in sports and entertainment. GameSquare owns a portfolio of companies including Code Red Esports Ltd., an esports talent agency serving the UK, GCN, a digital media company focusing on the gaming and esports audience based in Los Angeles, USA., NextGen Tech, LLC (dba as Complexity Gaming), a leading esports organization operating in the United States, Swingman LLC (dba Cut+Sew and Zoned), a gaming and lifestyle marketing agency based in Los Angeles, USA, and Fourth Frame Studios, a multidisciplinary creative production studio. Video games and playing sports online has been around forever, at least it seems that way as a millennial who grew up playing both. However, the idea of Gaming and Esports as a business is relatively new, but is starting to get a lot of institutional support, both from a finance perspective, and even from various sports leagues. In fact, Jerry Jones, Owner of the Dallas Cowboys and probably the most well-known owner in sports, happens to be an investor in Gamesquare. I met Justin when he participated in a "Gaming" panel we hosted for one of our virtual events, so I invited him on to learn more about how they are approaching monetizing gaming, as well as: Evolution of gaming and esports as a business Gamesquare's business model How involved Jerry Jones and the Goff's of Goff Capital are in Gamesquare, and; How the company plans to balance their growth objectives with goal of becoming a profitable business With that, please enjoy my conversation with Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare Esports Inc.

Ep 279Ep. 238 - Global Digital Divide: Understanding China’s Role in Global Technology and...MicroCaps with Rick Carew, Visiting Lecturer of Global Commerce at University of Virginia
For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Rick Carew, full-time investor as well as visiting lecturer at the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia and former Reporter and Editor at the Wall Street Journal covering Asia Finance. I recently met Rick via Twitter when chatting about one of the recent Due Diligence pods; after learning more about his background and expertise, we had to do an episode. At the University of Virginia, Rick has taught a course titled, "Global Digital Divide: Big Tech in a Multipolar World" that explores how executives and policymakers are grappling with the rise of Big Tech across the globe with a particular emphasis on Silicon Valley and China’s tech ecosystems. Considering all the news around China, technology and as we discuss on the show, the implications of Chinese leader Xi Jinping's imminent re-election for a third term, I thought the timing was perfect to have Rick on to chat about all of these topics. And as a bonus, we also get into Rick's approach to MicroCap investing, his opinion on why investing in MicroCaps can generate outsized returns and of course, why investors should be highly skeptical of US-listed MicroCaps with operations in China.

Ep 267Ep. 232 - Criteria for Small and MicroCap Opportunities in Market Drawdowns with Sharon Wang, Senior Investment Analyst at PenderFund
For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Sharon Wang, Senior Investment Analyst at PenderFund. We originally met when Sharon moderated a panel, titled, "MicroCap Technology Growth Companies" at our virtual event in December 2021 (highly recommend checking that out), and I wanted to get to know Sharon and her investing philosophy better. Assuming that you've been following the news, or better yet seen the performance from the MicroCap Review Index, the broader markets have been taking a bit of a shellacking with MicroCaps taking the brunt of this beatdown. With all this in mind, the best investors see market drawdowns as a chance to find and/or add to quality positions. That's what Sharon and I discuss today; what she looks for and her small and MicroCap criteria during market drawdowns.

Ep 265Ep. 231 - Staying in the Game with Howard Lindzon, Entrepreneur and Venture Capitalist
For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Entrepreneur, Venture Capitalist, and Host of "Panic with Friends" podcast, Howard Lindzon. When I was first getting my feet wet in the business and learning about the stock market, StockTwits was one of the first platforms I used. This was back in 2011 before Twitter and Fintwit became what it is today. So, to say I've been a fan of Howard is an understatement. I don't care what anyone says, the idea of Fintwit (for better or worse) began with Howard. In our conversation, we chatted about a wide variety of topics, including: what staying in the (investing) game looks like for him, his criteria for new potential investments and his thoughts on current events in finance. This was an awesome experience for me and I'm stoked Howard took the time to talk with me.

Ep 260Ep. 228 - Is Investing in Psychedelics Here to Stay with Nathan Weinstein, Head of Healthcare Equity Research at Aegis Capital Corp.
For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Nathan Weinstein, Head of Healthcare Equity Research at Aegis Capital Corp. I asked a few companies in my network to connect me with Nathan because I wanted to learn more about the Psychedelics sector. I remember quite vividly when the Cannabis sector started to gain traction in public markets, for me that was back in 2014. Psychedelics companies have come on the public markets scene in the last 18-24 months, and how its performance is very reminiscent of how Cannabis got its start.

Ep 258Ep. 227 - Investing Lessons Learned Going from Shareholder to Employee with Chris Bernatz, @jj_shipley
For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Chris Bernatz, better known as @jj_shipley on Twitter. I've been following Chris for a while on Twitter and sent him a message to see if he'd be interested in jumping on the pod. After initially declining, he decided to come on the podcast and I'm really glad he did. I've had many guests that started out as shareholders and eventually became more involved with their holdings, most often as a Board Member. Chris' story is unique to this podcast in that he went to work at one of his portfolio companies, Etsy. So, I wanted to learn more about his background, and some of the investing lessons learned going from shareholder to employee.
