Thanks, Andrew so much for the invitation. It’s great too, great to join you.
And I, I’ve listened to some of the the the episodes of the podcast. I think
it’s fantastic and I love your focus on educating, uh, beginning investors
that’s there. There’s so much that, uh, investors have to learn as I get
started. So, so thanks for what you guys are doing. I think it’s great. Um, so
my, uh, I’ve been in the financial industry for about 19 years. I started in,
uh, mid 2000, which if you know, your financial marketing history man means
you, you know, that the first, uh, you know, six, 12, 18 months of my
investing, uh, experience where relatively difficult, which was coming out of
the tech bubble and, and watching people that had come before me sort of
struggling with that. And I was at Bloomberg, got in New York for the first
eight years of a, of my career, and that’s where I learned about behavioral
finance investors, sentiment decision making, and then a technical analysis.
