Manage episode 396179294 series 3550401
In this podcast interview with Jason Nordlund, founder of Norstar Group, Nordlund shares his journey from starting an investment fund to successfully growing capital, with a key turning point being inspired by a real estate infomercial. He emphasizes the importance of being open to various investment classes and the value of self-education in the financial world. Nordlund also discusses his exposure to Austrian economics and the challenges of choosing between different economic schools of thought. He outlines his investment strategy, which involves a diversified approach, balancing precious metals for safety with high-growth tech investments, and the importance of staying prepared for potential economic crises.
Jason shared an insightful perspective on his investment strategy, saying, "My strategy is simple but not easy: be prepared for anything. I allocate some money to precious metals as a conservative hedge, while also investing in high-growth technologies. Spread your risk, and don't let your money rot on the vine. It's about finding a balance between safety and growth, and it's a continuous process of evaluation and adjustment." Nordlund's approach underscores the importance of diversification and adaptability in modern investing.
