🎙️: A Curious Worldview Podcast - https://curiousworldview.buzzsprout.com/1485736


When I started this podcast I made a list of 20 or so names that were titled ‘Dream Guests’. 

Erik Townsend has dipped his toe into several disparate worlds. He made millions as a software entrepreneur in the 90s, retired onto a yacht in his 30s, has lived all over the world, even managed a hedge fund, and has since built one of the strongest media platforms in finance – Macrovoices.  

In the following conversation, the topics that we spoke about include the following…

  • Erik’s Formative Experiences
  • The Why & How Behind Erik’s Energy Transition Documentary
  • Why Peter Zeihan & Nassim Taleb Have Yet To Appear On Macrovoices
  • Behind The Scenes Of Macrovoices
  • USD Reserve Currency & Serendipity
