BONUS: We ask James Marlay how to build an industry leading media business

Money of Mine

This is a different episode today. It’s a bonus episode after all.
When we were in Sydney, we asked Livewire’s Co-Founder, James Marlay, if he would be kind enough to let us ask him about his experience building and growing the business. He kindly said yes.
As we build Money of Mine, we look at leading digital media businesses like Livewire to learn everything we can. In a short period of time, Livewire became the go-to site to discover the views of Australia’s leading fund managers. We have always been impressed with their product. And when you listen to the way James thinks about the business, he’s an example to us about maintaining integrity along the way.
