Will McLane & Max Howard (@CapitalCapi): Starbucks (SBUX), Dutch Bros (BROS), and Investing in Consumer Brands

I hope you guys enjoy my conversation with Will McLane and Max Howard. Will and Max attend Georgetown University and run a hedge fund. They publish their thinking and ideas online, for the world to see, and engage in thoughtful discourse/pushback on their theses. They are doing it the right way. This is the blueprint I would give every new aspiring investor. We discuss Starbucks (SBUX), Dutch Bros (BROS), and how Will and Max invest in the age of AI and leverage those tools to help make better investment decisions. Please remember nothing is investment advice. Do your own work and always consult an investment professional. This is educational and entertainment purposes only.

Lonis Hamaili: Launching an AI Supply Chain Hedge Fund

I'm excited to have Lonis Hamaili on the podcast this week to discuss the launch of his new fund, Cambrian Capital. Cambrian's bet is that we're closer to AGI than people think, and the AI bull market isn't ending, but just getting started. We spend nearly an hour discussing Lonis's investment philosophy, his journey to starting the fund, what types of companies he wants to invest in, and where he's finding the most value. Please remember nothing is investment advice. Do your own work and always consult an investment professional. This is educational and entertainment purposes only.

[REPLAY] Jason Jessup (Pt. 2): Thinking Bigger Than FNX Mining

The last time I had CEO of Magna Mining Jason Jessup on the podcast his goal was to create the next FNX Mining. That would be a great outcome for everyone as FNX went from $0.25 to $35 at its peak. But here we are a year later, and Jason is thinking bigger. FNX is no longer the goal. Think closer to Teck Resources ... or even bigger. Jason explains his plans for NICU over the next 2-3 years, his goals for the company, and how they can grow into a multi-billion dollar Sudbury mining company. WARNING: NICU IS MY LARGEST POSITION. NOTHING IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. DYODD. DON'T TRADE BASED OFF THIS PODCAST. IF YOU DO YOU ARE AN IDIOT. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

I hope you guys enjoy this Q2 Investor Audibles series. As always, none of this is investment advice. You are an idiot if you think otherwise. Everything is for entertainment and educational purposes only. Investment carries substantial risk and you should always consult a professional before making any investment decisions.

Astrid Wilde: A Bright AI & Robotics Future

This was one of my favorite conversations so far this year. Astrid is the founder of Inheritance HQ. According to its website, the company “transforms observation into training data that robots and world models can learn from at scale, enabling capability to compound instead of restart with every newembodiment.” Don’t worry if you didn’t understand a word from that sentence. I didn’t either. Which is why I wanted to interview Astrid.We’re deeply curious (and bullish) about Physical AI and the Robotics thematic at MO over the next 18-24 months. However, I only had “outside” knowledge of the theme. In other words, I digested a bunch of bullish Big Investment Bank reports, but still craved the “boots on the ground” primary contact to pressure-test these assumptions. Astrid is that guy. Besides founding a Physical AI/robotics data company, Astrid is a great public markets investor. We spend a lot of time exploring his investment process, why doing less hasequaled more (read: higher returns), and how Astrid cultivated a strong network of people to feed him ideas. Please note that NONE OF THIS IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. IT IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU THINK ANY OF THIS IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. DO YOUR OWN WORK AND CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL BEFORE PUTTING ANY CAPITAL AT RISK.

Gavin McCracken (Pt. 2): Robotics, AI, and A Commodities Supercycle

We are back with another interview with Gavin McCracken. This time, we spend most of the podcast chatting robotics, AI, and why those two themes could kickstart the next commodities supercycle. I really enjoyed Gavin's take on AI and robotics, mainly because it aligns with my initial hypotheses. But it's always good to bounce ideas off a AI PhD. Remember, NOTHING YOU HEAR IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. THIS IS TWO DUDES CHATTING MARKETS FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY. YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU THINK THIS IS ADVICE. I hope you guys enjoy!

Q2 2026 Investor Audibles: Hirschmann Capital, 1 Main Capital, Third Point

Q2 2026 Investor Audibles is live. Remember, none of this is investment advice. I just wish there were audible versions of investor letters, so I decided to make them. I hope you enjoy!

[REPLAY] Gavin McCracken: A Journey To 2,000x Returns

This was easily my favorite podcast of the year. Granted, we're only in April. So it's exciting, but a high bar for future guests. Gavin is a one-of-one thinker and investor. He generated a 2,000x return in his account from buying basically two stocks: Valeura Energy (VLE) and Andean Precious Metals (APM). You will love his story on how he found, bought, and held along the way to 2,000x performance. We also talked about process, due diligence, finding an edge, investing psychology, and AI (you'll be surprised on his AI take). I know this is a 2HR conversation, but it is worth every second because Gavin is an independent thinker and worth your time. NOTHING YOU HEAR IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. PURELY ENTERTAINMENT/EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU TAKE ANY OF THIS AS ADVICE.
